Democrats say have votes to delay Bolton vote(AGAIN!!!

Yahooooooooooooooo ^

[Soul Seeker]

let me see a currently pro-Roe justice, like Ginsburg - replaced by an anti-Roe nominee - and let me see that nominee sail through with no fillibuster and a solid 51 votes from the Rs to break it if there is.

Ditto. Though given Ginsburg's latest remarks she thinks the issue of abortion should have been left to the states, perhaps it should be amended to include a kennedy or an O'Connor.

Thune is angry at the republican senate leadership and rightly so.

If I am wrong about this, I know I will be corrected, but I believe that the BRAC commision was removed from influence, to the extent possible, of the parties some time ago, since it made it impossible to close anything. That would make Thune wrong to expect to be rewarded by leadership

[PhiKapMom]

Works for me -- every day that goes by is one more day that McCain looks like a chump which works for me. Spotlight is on McCain and his agreement on judicial nominations which most Americans thought extended to all nominees and as far as I am concerned let them think that. I can live with McCain with egg on his face.

As for Thune, he had better pick another item to throw a hissy fit because the DoD wants to close Ellsworth if he wants any further support.

[PhiKapMom]

You are absolutely correct on the BRAC -- it was removed from political influence as far as the final vote goes and Thune is dead wrong to use this Bolton nomination to make a statement IMO.

[Dog Gone]

Just wait and see. I don't know if you'll ever celebrate, but Bush is going to get his nominees through.

[oceanview]

Ginsburg said that? was she stoned at the time?

[sirchtruth]

What went wrong?!?!?!

That's your problem, you do see where McPrick undermined Frist plan to give dems more TIME to fight.

The dems were never going to confirm Bolton anyway, BUT if Frist was able to use the CO 2 weeks ago we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. The USELESS dem bashing of the adm for not releasing info, or some other RINO defecting would be an option!

The "debate" would have been OVER, not dragged out so the dems could make hay.

Richard Durbin (AH), Bill Frist (AH), Harry Reid (AH), Joseph Lieberman (AH), George Voinovich (AH), John Thune (AH), Christopher Dodd (AH).

Any questions?.....The gubbmint is by the gubbmint and for the gubbmint. Anyone who thinks any of these AH's want to do anything for YOU...try to wake up please. It's about them, individually and collectively.

FEH!

I already stated I would celebrate if votes were allowed on ALL qualified nominees from Bolton to Justices. I generally attempt to keep my word.

[stands2reason]

ping me when the vote to change the cloture rules happens.

You can get a nice long nap in the meantime. And maybe a vacation, or some work done around the house you've been putting off.

[Soul Seeker]

More or less.

Please refer to this post.

I wonder if the ACLU mailed her a dead fish wrapped in newspaper after reading that.

[Rummyfan]

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican, said he expected to proceed with Bolton's nomination "very soon," but could not say "with certainty" when that would be. He has accused Democrats of using a procedural hurdle called a filibuster to block the confirmation vote.

Frist, get off your ass and slap these Dems down. Blow up the damn Senate if necessary. This is beyond ridiculous! Either that or the President just recess-appoints him and slaps Dodd and Biden in the face with this.

[CasearianDaoist]

Irritating the GOP base to the point where they stay at home in 06 and 08 is not helpful, which I think is the real point.

[sirchtruth]

Then why did Priscilla Owen get confirmed?

Coop, it's not 1 or even 4 confimations...it's the whole lot without the SAME fight. You don't give your opponent, especially one that you have NO reason to trust, an opportunity to regather once you've got them cornered. That's what Mcditz did, basically allowed the dems to reconstitute the SAME fight.

You've got to remember any time the dems do something the MSM is siding with them and furthering their agenda.

The worst part of Thune's tactics was his lies---

Instead of standing up and saying, "Heck, ya, I'm going to use my NO vote for Bolton, because I am mad that S. Dakota is losing the Air Base. I campaigned saying that I would save the base, and I intend to make sure that my message is heard."

INSTEAD, when asked, he meekly, said,"Well, I wasn't really crazy about Bolton anyway". OR, "Well, we could have gotten someone better". Something like that...

which we all KNOW is not the reason, so he comes off as a liar!!!! BAD Politics, Thune...really bad

[Txsleuth]

I heard Frist say today that they have a lot of work to do before the 4th of July recess---so there is your answer.


I happen to think that a recess appointment on Independence Day sounds pretty patriotic, doesn't it!!! How about that red, white, and blue....you betcha, I would be for it!!!

[Soul Seeker]

Wouldn't be surprised.

I'm sure it caused a few mild skips in heart beat among their faithful. Republicans moving Left is common. A Liberal Justice advocating state rights in R V W is definitely not.

Meanwhile Kennedy is advocating the introduction of foreign law. World's upside down.

[Txsleuth]

Let's see-Biden and Carter want us to shut down Gitmo--so I guess Delaware and Georgia get the detainees in their prisons, huh?

BTW, if they won't let us put detainees in Gitmo, even though we (the taxpayers) have spent millions to build the barracks and stuff, can we use it for the illegal immigrants that we catch coming over the border?

BTW, Dean gave a speech in San FRAn. and when talking about immigration reform, he said the illegals hadn't broken any laws...I kid you not!!
