You'll get a headache looking at 'rat votes through a logical lense.

Well, I do have one guess.

I think the Donks were the most vulnerable, all over the place, on going to the mat to block two women, one of whom is black.

Just that.

And what about Pryor? The former attorney general of Alabama, Pryor was, like Owen, filibustered mostly over the issue of abortion. But unlike Owen, who appeared the picture of moderation at her confirmation hearing, Pryor, when he went before the Judiciary Committee back in June 2003, made no attempt to hide his views.

For example, Pryor had in the past called Roe v. Wade “the worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.”

At the hearing, when Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) read Pryor’s words to him and asked him whether he still believed that, Pryor answered, simply, “I do.”

Later, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), trying to give Pryor an escape route, asked whether the “abomination” quote was accurate.

Pryor said that it was indeed accurate, and what was more, “I stand by that comment. I believe that not only is [Roe] unsupported by the text and structure of the Constitution, but it has led to a morally wrong result. It has led to the slaughter of millions of innocent unborn children.”

Democrats called Pryor an extremist. They dug in their heels and threw out two centuries of Senate tradition to stop him.

I like Judge Pryor!!!

It is good to see the names of the Judges who were screwed by the gang of 14 im-moderates ... a reminder that this was not a noble compromise, but the worst sort of backroom deal:

WE NEED TO GET VOTES FOR THESE NOMINEES:

• The nomination of Henry Saad to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals represents an “extraordinary circumstance” and will be filibustered by Democrats.

• The nomination of William Myers to the 9th Circuit represents an “extraordinary circumstance” and will be filibustered.

• The nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the D.C. Circuit might represent an “extraordinary circumstance” and might be filibustered.

• The nomination of William Haynes to the 4th Circuit might represent an “extraordinary circumstance” and might be filibustered.

Very clear article that shows the inconsistency in these judicial votes better than anything I've yet seen. Thanks for posting it.

Get the three through. Then send up the undetermined ones. If the Dems filibuster their half of the 14 will be torn between party loyalty and the agreement they signed. If they betray their party, we win. If they break the agreement we're back where we started except three judges are in and the Dems have admitted to being hypocrites.

Once the questionables are through, send up the "extraordinaries" and then nuke the bastards.

Rush jsut said that now Graham has opined that he will not vote against a filibuster of John Bolton.

The simple answer to the question has to do with who is already on the court that these people are nominated to & what was the judicial philosophy of the judge they are being nominated to replace.

Replace a conservative with a conservative, you have no change in balance of that court. Replace a liberal or a moderate with a conservative & the court issues rulings in the opposite direction than it had previously.
