They're different stores on cafepress.com. I don't know who runs the oval stickers one. The blue Allen one is mine.
You'd have to add in "And no cheating by getting your staff to help you!"
TNX!!
When someone os called upon to write the majority opinion the majority of the time and wins 76% of the vote in caifornia she isn't out of the mainstream.
If she hated Governement why is she a part of it. LOL that's a good one.
Thanks - the Fox talking heads keep talking over him.
or Tues or Wed
Judges disagree all the time.
Allen doing an excellent job of recapping and defending Justice Brown, her qualifications and her person.
Do you remember when Laura was on Leno the week before this visit and how she made a reference to something a child in a school she visited said to her?
That he prays that President Bush stays alive
Almost anyone but McCain (the Republicans' chief maggot!)
Love it!.
Chuckles the Clown objects to five more minutes for President Allen?
Allen asks for 5 more minutes and Schumer objects. Says he must do it on Republican time.
Alen asks for one minute and will add a minute to RAT side in order to summarize. Schumer doesn't object
So far the option has not kicked in but we are controlling the process, by starting the debate and holding the floor! We have not yet shut them out! But it is coming! Sorry about the liberals!
President Clinton nominated 9 judges after the 107th had been seated but before he left office; never before had an outgoing President attempted this. President Bush withdrew those nominations (although he eventually renominated one of them, who was confirmed). Second, then-Majority Leader Daschle recessed the Congress in the summer of 2001 for sufficient time so as to trigger the following Senate standing rule:"If the Senate shall adjourn or take a recess for more than thirty days, all nominations not finally acted upon at the time of taking such adjournment or recess shall be returned by the Secretary to the President and shall not again be considered unless they shall again be made to the Senate by the President."
In so doing, he forced the return of all outstanding nominations. Each had to start from scratch, with President Bush having to renominate them. Between these two maneuvers, the number of nominations to the 107th Congress was artificially high by 29.

The Baseball Crank wonders about the fact that most of the returns from Bush's first Congress were renominated in his second Congress. Is this the norm, and does that change the interpretation of the numbers for the 108th Congress? To look at this, I through the 103rd through 106th Congress' actions by hand, to examine the effect of renominations after returns on President Clinton's nominations. I did same for President Bush and the 107th and 108th.
President Clinton nominated 22 people to the 103rd Congress to be Circuit Court justices. Three were returned, but all three were renominated and confirmed by the 104th Congress. The eventual confirmation rate for these nominees was 100%.
President Clinton nominated 17 new people to the 104th Congress to be Circuit Court justices, in addition to the three renominations. Of these 17 new nominations, 1 was withdrawn, 1 was returned and not renominated in the 105th, and one was renominated in the 105th, returned there, and then not renominated. The other 14 were eventually confirmed (although one had to wait until the 106th). The eventual confirmation rate for these new nominees was 82%.
President Clinton nominated 23 new people to the 105th Congress to be Circuit Court justices, in addition to seven who were renominations. Of the 23 new nominations, two were returned and not renominated. Two were renominated in the 106th only to be returned again and never confirmed. One was withdrawn. The other 18 were eventually confirmed. The eventual confirmation rate for these new nominees was 78%.
President Clinton nominated 28 new people to the 106th Congress to be Circuit Court justices, in addition to six renominations. 1 was withdrawn. 15 were returned and never renominated. 12 were eventually confirmed (including one who was renominated by President Bush). The eventual confirmation rate for these nominees was 43%.
In aggregate, President Clinton nominated 90 people to be Circuit Court justices during the four Congresses during his term. 66 were eventually confirmed. The eventual confirmation rate for his nominees was 73%. He had 13 nominees who were returned but eventually confirmed; 12 of those were confirmed by the subsequent Congress. Of the 20 returms that Clinton had during his first three Congresses (where he would be in term for a subsequent Congress), he renominated 16 (80%) of them. Over 80% of them were eventually confirmed, with a full three quarters confirmed in the very next Congress.
In the 107th Congress, President Bush nominated 31 new people to be Circuit Court justices. 19 have eventually been confirmed, for an eventual confirmation rate of 61.2%, compared to Clinton's 100% eventual confirmation rate for his first Congress' nominations. Only two of President Bush's renominations were confirmed by the subsequent Congress- 15.4%.
In aggregate, President Bush has nominated, for the first time, 52 distinct individuals to be Circuit Court justices. 34 have been confirmed, for an aggregate eventual confirmation rate of 65%, 8% lower than President Clinton's despite the fact that three quarters of Clinton's term had the Senate controlled by the Republicans.
Allen's time has expired
He asks for another 5 minutes
Schummer objects to it
I heard a few minutes ago on a local radio talk show, that Kay Bailey has been offered some really juicy job in Wash if she stays instead of running for Governor....
Do you know anything about that?
Oh, jeez, Schumer won't let Allen 5 minutes!!! He is such a horse's ass!!! (sorry Mr. Robinson, but sometimes the $$$ isn't good enough!)
Wow, a gross? 144 x $3.49 = $502.56.
OH NO - Schmuckie's talking now
ICK! Chucky then Islama Mama Murray. What a horrible line-up.
