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...
If you want to be able to cope with this "compromise" chit over the weekend, be sure that dentist prescribes something special...
Ya, they are holding pep rallies with wild eyed enthusiasm on the steps of the Capitol while our back stabbing RINOS try and cut a deal in the back room away from the common folk of the Party. Can you believe that we added seats in the senate and still find ourselves in this horse shit?
Here ya go ... pick a number :0)

AMEN BUMP!!
I call those numbers on my cell phone and don't get charged long distance....
If Dem filibusters of qualified judges stand, in more than the very rare case, then it is a brave new world. Ginsberg in that environment wouldn't have had a chance. Breyer might not have made it as well. The vacancies would pile up, except maybe for skilled sleath nominees.
Sheesssh! That's two hours per senator. 15 minutes apiece would have been plenty.
Yes, I remember. It's worth looking forward too.
Nothing is set in stone but I want it entered into record I expect a vote.
These senators are desperate to refuse a vote. Frist needs to call win or lose for them to go on record. They will be hung by their constituents for their obstruction.
That's one hour per senator, not two.
jas3
And today was ten hours on ONE NOMINEE.
Super, super post. You're wonderful.
The chat about principle on both sides annoys me. There is nothing principled about the filibuster in any context (the majority within the law and checked by an independent judiciary should have its way in a democracy), and it has been with us forever. It goes downhill from there.
I need something right now to help me sit thru the final episode of you know what with the doc because he has to watch it. :)
They have been talking about these Judges and saying the same dang stuff for 4 years
JUST VOTE!
Shall We keep this thread going or start a daily "NUKE" Thread...
That makes me feel a little better,although I've never seen a politician especially a Senator that didn't talk longer than they should especially if they didn't have anything to say. MRN
Hi ya Miss Howlin! Missed that one today. Anything worth while? MRN
Bush will get his UP OR DOWN vote but he won't get all of his judges confirmed.
A pack of 51 fools can decide to vote DOWN some of the judges in the UP OR DOWN vote. That's what this pack of 12 fools is deciding now. How many will they vote down.
The six RINO's can still say that they gave the president his UP OR DOWN vote. The six RINO's will jointly decide how many of the judges they can vote against...and get away with it.
Hmmm.
