They will just delay the vote for a change in filibuster. But then, that might be a good strategy. Allow the nominees for the lower courts through and delay the battle unilt the next SC nominee where RINO's in the Senate will be much more likely to balk at a true conservative judge.
Can't wait to watch Cspan.
Saw Biden nearly incoherent a little while ago.
Oh my, they're all turning into Deaniacs......
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
Oh Lord, imagine what Hillary will look like after she sleeps in the cot. Gross.
Bad idea to have an overnight session, imho. Why garner the maximum media attention? Just vote the Constitutional Option at 9:30am. Americans will discuss the "24" finale at the water cooler and not the fillibuster.
Please let them actually filibuster. This saying filibuster and everyone gasps is crap. Make the sob's actually stand up and talk. It won't last any more than a few days.
Frist should follow the advice of Dick Morris and force the Democrats to filibuster (for real) for one to two weeks. Morris predicts that if this occurs, the Democrats will look like complete idiots, with the public watching highlights on the news (and live on C-SPAN). The Dims would then incur the wrath of the public, and the MSM would not be able to spin in the Rats favor.
The reason Frist won't do this is because it is "too hard." The Pubbies want to be all snug in their warm little beds too, and they are too lazy to fight in the chamber. Soooo, 24 hours is all we will get.
Is this true?
I assumed that the nuclear option would simply "outlaw" judicial filibusters. This sounds like a change to the cloture rule. I think the article is wrong.
I saw a shot of all those beds and just figured Bill Clinton was interviewing interns again........
Don't be a CINO (Conservative in Name Only)
Don't listen to CINO's in politics,
the Main Stream CINO media,
and even here on Free Republic.
Remember all who told you not to worry about klintoon, hitlery and reno
after the 2000 election?
Remember all who said Ashcroft would prosecute them.
Remember Chinagate, Pardongate, Waco, Vince Foster, the Jewish town in NY etc., etc., etc. ?
Well reno ran against Jeb Bush and hitlery wants to beat Hanoi Kerry in 08
Are YOU willing to listen to the CINO's again?
If filibustering judicial appointments causes hair to fall out, then it should be banned.
