The Democrats are gonna need a Whaaaambulance
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Oh, how absolutely savvy! But I thought Bush was too dumb to think of something like this? I LOVE it!
Heh-heh. Gotta love the MSM. Yup, nominating judges is DIVISIVE tactic. The "deal" was designed to stop things like that.
CHAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGEEEE!
I'm ready to rumble.
This is what I've been waiting for.
I hope they're hardcore conservatives from South Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio.
The dems(real commies) never know any shame. They will filibuster again and use the unfamous quote," Well, it was not written in stone." This will be their justification in an attempt to cover their subterfuge and deceit. NSNR
But wait... I thought we were all supposed to hate Frist for letting the Democrats (and RINOs) "get away" with filibustering nominees. You mean it isn't over yet? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you.
Rushton said he expects "a large swath" of nominations in the next few weeks unless Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist or another Supreme Court justice decides to step down at the end of the term later this month, an event that would throw current plans out the window.
"Of 45 federal court vacancies, Bush has named nominees for 14. Except in one case, he has sent no new names all year, instead resubmitting nominations that had been blocked in the previous congressional session."
It is time for Bush and the GOP-controlled Senate to get these judges nominated and confirmed.
So why were the friendly voices in talk radio, the frinedly writers in the press and all the other conservative pundits so upset when in fact this seems to play into the Presidents hand? I remember hearing the interview between Sean and Frist and Sean bellyaching about how Frist lost power and how this hurt the process.
Can somebody out there update me, please. Last I heard, we got one of the female judges through. Is that all? And more importantly -- are all the others still supposed to get up or down votes as the optimists predicted, or are they not going to, as the pessimists predicted. Thank you kindly.
Becuase the Democrats, undoubtedly, will renege on the deal, blocking or filibustering nominees based on "extraordinary circumstances". They are trusting that McCain, DeWine, and Graham lack the intestinal fortitude to vote for the Constitutional Option.
Their trust is well-founded.
If the Democrats chose to filibuster such a fine, intelligent man who has lost so much, it would speak volumes about them. . .& memories of 9/11 would come flooding back.
He maybe wouldn't want to go through the process. . . though he seems to be a very strong man.
Good question. But I do like how Bush maneuvers around every new situation presented to him. He's making those 7 Pubs look like the fools we all know them to be for their grandstanding antics. I truly hope he does this.
