[Hemingway's Ghost]

Heard on Jay Severin's show out of Boston that language was written into the agreement which states that under "extraordinary events" the agreement goes out the window. Yet there's no language that defines, exactly, "extraordinary events," so that means the term of art means exactly what each individual involved wants it to mean. I imagine for some, nominating a Supreme Court Justice would be an "extraordinary event."

I think the GOP got rolled.

nominating a Supreme Court Justice would be an "extraordinary event."

The president of NARAL stated that this was a major victory, and was sure that the nomination of anyone who did not voice an opinion on abortion would be considered an extraordinary event, and subject to filibuster.

But if you want to know who really won in this disgusting episode listen to Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, who boasted that her group was "heartened that the crisis has been averted and the right to filibuster preserved for upcoming Supreme Court nominations. We are confident that a Supreme Court nominee who won't even state a position on Roe v. Wade is the kind of 'extraordinary circumstance' this deal envisions."

I hope we still have the Constitutional option available, but it was my understanding that the seven senators agreed not to vote for that option for the duration of the 109th Congress. That would give us only 48 Republican votes, easily defeated by the democrats and the traitors.

I rarely get to hear Severin these days, but I am convinced that he is nothing more than "entertainment." I'll never take him seriously again.

Jay has been undermining the morale of our Troops for years now, and I would personally like to kick his ass for such.

He is a serious BS artist.
