LIVE SENATE THREAD: "Nuclear Wednesday" for judicial nominations: C-span 2 - 9:30 am EST

C-span 2 ^ | May 18, 2005

[ken5050]

Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...

[WestVirginiaRebel]

He's on a mission to save the Senate! And another Democrat just quoted Lincoln.

[defconw]

Seriously is Mark Dayton on drugs? This guy is the best yet! What a whack job!

[Howlin]

I don't want them to "get-along", I want them to fight like hell for what they told me they believed in.

WOOHOO! Me, too!

[badgerbengal]

I agree that they should fight to win not compromise but putting Kennedy, Boxer,Reid, Mikulski,Shummer,Clinton, etc.etc.etc. in charge of the agenda and the direction of the nation isnt any good either.

[defconw]

Me too! NO PRISONERS! DEMS NEED TO BE FINISHED OFF NOW!

[the anti-liberal]

Seriously is Mark Dayton on drugs?

Trying to figure out what he was saying there at the end, I was thinking the very same thing.. maybe someone spiked his drink during recess? Acid? Mushrooms?...

[b-cubed]

What the hell is Dayton talking about ???

What's a Dayton?

[Howlin]

Don't you all forget, we're keeping a running count of how many Dems quote Gonzales on Patricia Owens.

[Mo1]

I don't want them to "get-along", I want them to fight like hell for what they told me they believed in.

Yep ..

I didn't vote for Republicans so they could be friends with Democrats

[small voice in the wilderness]

I am so damned TIRED of Doing The Right Thing being exploited and manipulated by these twisted freaks of nature on the left until words mean nothing and truth is lost. Only to be resuscitated by moderates who take a once-powerful idea and turn it into a weak sputtering shadow of its former self.

[Carolinamom]

I'm having trouble deciding whether Boxer or Murray is the DUMBEST female senator.

[Howlin]

Lindsey Graham, for one.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

Dem. Sen. Patty Murray up now.
She's talking abouth all the things they are fighting for. Fighting for this , fighting for that. How come they never have to get along?

[the anti-liberal]

Patty again. Rolling eyes into back of head...

[oceanview]

Its Murray, followed by Debbie Stabenow.

[Soul Seeker]

Then you had better contact these RINO's because that is what is going to happen if they derail confirmation of these Justices. If the RINO's side with the Dems then we don't have a Majority, we have a majority in name only. As far as I'm concerned, if they aren't a real majority we'll make them what they really are. A Minority. And we'll start with those that betrayed us.

[Howlin]

Okay.........Brit did NOT report on this so-called meeting, so I'm assuming it isn't happening.

However, he did play the clip of Reid refusing any Senate business while these "discussions" are going on.

So...all together now...

The Democrats have shut down Congress

[Jim Noble]

1. Cantwell.

2. Stabenow (very close, formal IQ testing required).

3. Boxer.

4. Murray.

[Mo1]

Dayton sees it as a metaphorical desire to cut the heart out of the Senate. LOL. This is too good. I know there are intelligent people in Minnesota, but Dayton sure isn't one of them.

Maybe Dorgan should offer Dayton those remedial classes :0)
