PJ, PJ, PJ...I am so disappointed in you. You're the guy who paws throught the DUmpster every day for us. You, of all people should know better.

Look, if the 3 nominees now declared to be "acceptable" are the standard, then any judicial nominee Bush puts up in the future who is just as conservative as these three must also be considered acceptable and can't be filibustered under this agreement.

Standard? Must? Are you kidding. These are Donks and RINOs we're talking about. I don't know about Napoleon McCain, the Palmetto State McCain-lite, or Thurston Howell Warner III, but Chaffee and the Maine twits have left no doubt that they think the GOP has been overrun by rightwing evangelical extremists. You think they wouldn't roll over for the Donks the next time an "extreme" nominee came up for a vote? The only reason the Donks even gave up as much as they did is because the three nominees were the three we could best use as posterchildren against the filibuster.

Two women, and the guy who followed the law despite his personal beliefs in the Roy Moore case.

Maybe the seven donks and the seven nitwits really will answer the call if a filibuster appears in less then "extreme circumstances". Who defines what an "extreme circumstance" is? The same people who are on record that the GOP is hostage to the religious right. That's who.

The GOP has 55 of 100 seats in the Senate. You'd be tempted to think that the Senate is controlled by the Republicans. You'd be wrong.

No sense sugarcoating it. The 45 or so GOP Senators who are actually worth a crap, and the administration, need to play some hardball.

you hit upon an important point. As much as we rant against the Rinos and Dems, it is our leadership that has failed. Frist and Bush in short order should face reality and accept that this Repubic is being destroyed by Socialists. The only rational response would be to defeat and humiliate the Dems at every turn on every single issue. Our side needs to be utterly brutal to the Dems (figuratively speaking.)
