[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...

Specter is carrying water for the demoncrats once again. You are insulting RINO!!

[CAluvdubya]

When I saw Specter last week or the week before, he had lost most of his hair from the chemo trmnts. Guess he just decided to shave the rest off instead of having the wispy look.

I believe the quote refers TOTALLY to legislation where all three branches are involved and is not applicable.

[AFPhys]

Thanks for this counter to Schumer. I will be phoning that office during the next day or two, and your post is great to have before calling.

[Carolinamom]

He's being treated for cancer.

[Milhous]

Hitlery will probably vote FOR all of the judges except Pryor and possibly Saab, but against the filibuster.

Does anyone exist on the planet earth, either pro- or anti-Hillary, who actually buys her act?

[OXENinFLA]

Sen. Spector,

THE ONLY REASON YOUR STILL IN THE SEANTE IS DUE TO PRES. BUSH BACKING YOU!

SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND VOTE WITH YOUR PARTY!!

AND THAT WOULD BE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTEN!!

[prairiebreeze]

Obviously you haven't been paying attention.

Fox went to a helicopter crash in the Houston area.

[Howlin]

Hey! I just bought some like that at Target!

[Dad yer funny]

U bet ,..."hey Karl , go get 'em Tiger!!"

Did Frist invoke the 100 hours of debate? If so, we know this will go on for days but at least we would know when the end is nigh.
National Review is saying the earliest we could expect a nuke vote is next Tue or Wed.

There is no definite time. No unanimous consent agreement covering time for debate. I agree that no serious action until Friday at the earliest, and maybe as late as a week from now, or later. "The situation is fluid."

[jacquej]

Ok, if this is going to go on for a week, how to I allocate my time?

[Soul Seeker]

Spectre moving to bring nominees for an up or down vote on Senate floor if both leaders release from party loyalties.

[Miss Marple]

Well, it just goes to show that there really is nothing new under the sun.

Specter yapping about starting with Circuit Court judges.

I need to do some work outside. I will be back in half an hour.

[shellshocked]

"Godwin's Law."


I am more familiar with the law of survival. Schumer is a socialist who believes in the strong use of military and government force to inflict his views. So did the Nazi party. There isn't much difference.

The image is to remind people what happens when authoritarian socialists come to power.

Besides, just because some nitwit gives such tactics a name doesn't mean that it is a "law". Never heard of Godwin, and I doubt he is an authority, much less an expert of marketing and imagery.

Did Specter mean Jimmy Stewart when he aid he was offended by a movie with Gregory Peck made during 1967 and used in a commercial insulted him? Or is there a commercial running that I didn't see?.

[MamaLucci]

Is Specter calling for less extreme nominees to be
voted on first..........playing right into the dems hands, as per usual?
