Rush stating a primary reason talks keep breaking up is because we are keeping the pressure on them. The RINO's are getting weak kneed. Keep up the calls on ALL the Senators!

We WILL throw you out of office, hear that RINO's? Either in primary or voting for a Dem, I don't give a damn. You will go down. And you red state Dems can kiss re-elections good-bye.

I have written Durbin and Obama urging them to represent the minority of Illinois and just simply VOTE.

Yes, the RINOs will pay a price for breaking ranks at this vital moment.


If there is a compromise, or Repubs cant get the votes necessary to end the judicial fillibuster....all I can say is that the Democommies will be emboldened like the islamofascists when NewsWeak ran that fake story.

Rush is absolutely correct. If the grassroots and alternative media relax their guard and let-up even once, the clowns in the Senate will cut a deal, declare victory and move on back to business as usual.

We (libs and conservatives alike) are all so concerned about how appellate and Supreme Ct. justices will rule concerning legislation--legislation passed by freely elected US and state legislators. Yet, there is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING in the US constitution giving federal judges the authority to overturn legislation passed by such legislators. The judiciary (under Chief Justice Marshall) essentially seized this power in a constitutional coup in the seminal case Marbury vs. Madison. What we conservatives should be debating is whether the institution of judicial review should even exist in this day and age. Most representative republics don't have it. A law passed by a freely elected parliament is assumed to be constitutional. That is how it is in Britain and most of Europe. American legislators and executives swear an oath to uphold and defend the US constitution. It is thus unthinkable that they would introuduce, let alone pass legislation violating our Constitution. I know this seems quixotic, but if we press our allies in the Federalist society and in Congress, we may, someday, be able to push through a constituional amendment eliminating the odious doctrine of judicial review.
