I still think that since the dems have agreed to letting a vote take place on Janice Rogers Brown, and she is likely to get approved, SHE should be put up---
How in the heck could the dems use the "extraordinary circumstances" excuse on her anymore? Besides, everything that I have read that she stands for, sounds really good to me...
I also wish he would think about Miguel Estrada...
These dems that came away from that little "compromise" charade thinking that President Bush is going to "ask the dems" who he should nominate, are really stupid!
Actually, they have history on their side. Republican majorities have always let Democrats call the shots anyway. The Republican Senate was almost useless to Reagan. The Republican House and Senate let Clinton do whatever he wanted legislatively (and let him take credit for the rare occasions he adopted their ideas).
good grief that is good thinking.
TX has a brilliant idea of actually putting up one of the judges they let through this time for the SCOTUS.
Because, as true Marxists, they deploy language as a weapon.
Every single one of their supporters will back their upcoming filibusters, because they know full well that they made the "deal" with their fingers crossed, which is how they all go through life.
And when the Republicans whine about the Democrats "breaking their word", it will only make them look weak and stupid.
The type of politics going on in the Senate is winner-take-all, loser pays.
The Democrats are winning.
And the Republicans, as usual, are going to pay.
By shear obstructionism. They'd also argue that she shouldn't be changing jobs, having so recently been put on the DC Appeals Court.
