Exactly.

I'm going to spam a few threads with those quotes because I can see that I wasn't the only one who had not seen them before.

And that our own people in the Senate aren't using those quotes is really ticking me off.

I notice that (surprise!!) the AP is either unwilling (likely) or unable (ideologically) to research and include a few basic facts, like maybe the actual WORDING of the constitution itself.

Instead it, predictably, parrots the DNC talking points.

Reid says that the Constitution does not require that judicial nominees get confirmation votes, allowing the minority to block them.

So what? Neither does the Constitution require a supermajority approval. At least not explicitly.

It must be hard to choose balanced words when they see everything from the Dem point of view.

Why yes, the Republicans are going to reinvent the Democrat's "reality" that they continue to control the judiciary even though they lost the election.
Bout time too!

"If Republicans roll back our rights in this chamber, there will be no check on their power," Reid said. "The radical right wing will be free to pursue any agenda they want. And not just on judges. Their power will be unchecked on Supreme Court nominees, the president's nominees in general and legislation like Social Security privatization."

This shows how little respect Reid has for all the Republican senators as well as the people who elect them.

I am certain that if there was a matter that was not preferred by the majority of the public, there would be GOP senators opposed. Even in his example of Social Security reform, there is opposition.

"Demcrcats acuse the acuser ...."

this is the very tactic that Barbara Owen (rest her soul) pointed out as Hillary's strategy in Owen's book on Hillary (can't remember the title).

The tactic is to put the offensive on the defensive by shifting blame. Hillary's strategy which I noticed yesterday, Barbara Boxer had adopted as well. Good students, these dems, learning from Hillary.

He's right. So let's have 51 Senators sign a letter to the President, which says, "We hereby advise favorably and consent to the appointment of X to the Judiciary" Yet another Constitutional solution.

FNC says they have been told a compromise might happen "within the hour"

Can you get the Senate back to more of a normal working situation?"

YES, by electing more Republicans, then what will the "minority" say?

But more importantly, both sides would have to operate on "good faith"

The Democrats haven't operated in good faith since the Kennedy years. Why do these boneheads on the hill think they will suddenly see the light and begin now?????

Remember the anthrax attacks after 911 both R's and D's decided that they needed to recess because of concerns for the lives of staff? The R's announced it and the D's said pretty much, "Hey you pussies, we didn't agree to that?"

If the Republican leadership is looking for good-faith from the Democrats, they all need to be replaced for being moronic,idiotic, stupid imbiciles.

There had better not be ANY compromise that sacrices candidates.

I PRAY this is just a fluff propaganda piece put out by the democrates.

If there is a compromise, I will blame McCain. The Manchurian Senator.

With this kind of talk from Democrats, the Republican majority is solidifying. Harry Reid can go on with this verbal war if he wants to, but he's not improving his situation at all.
