Good Thursday morning, fellow political junkies. Today's cloture vote on the Pryor nomination is scheduled at 4:PM. Follow along with us, here, and comment...

[maggief]

No sense at all.

[FaithintheRight]

This man is like a bull-dog.

[defconw]

I've read the "memo" several times, they got nothin! Hammer will crack heads!

[OESY]

I should have caught that. LOL!

[processing please hold]

Amen, Faithintheright, Amen.

I think, should Bolton get the UN position, Kofi will not be long there, and that is why the liberals are fighting so hard against him.

[defconw]

Thune has made his point, I bet the deal has already been made! Just a guess.

[Tarkin]

But, but, but if they bring up Bolton, Voinovich is going to cry...

[Tarkin]

Yeah, I really dislike Sleazy Czar, he is one of these Demonrats that pretends to be a moderate, but votes with Ted Kennedy 98% of the time.

[MinuteGal]

He'll clean out the UN's Halls of Shame
We'll watch him blow by blow
Our kids will tell their kids his name
Joltin' Bolton is his name
Joltin' Bolton, Joltin' Bolton
We want him on our side
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

The battle over Bolton will be nasty, as will the battle over the SCOTUS nominee/s. The Dems are smiling b/c they know that this fight is coming up. There will be no cross-overs on Bolton except Voinivich and Thune. It will be close IMO.

I'm sure it will be a slugfest. So much is at stake on this man.

[defconw]

We'll send some of the tissues we are sending for Specter to George!


Frist holding a crow session! LOL

Frist holding a crow session! LOL

Must have been held earlier today!

[Tarkin]

Yeah, and Sessions is babbling how brilliant Frist and McConnell are :-)

[defconw]

A lot of grinning going on, and for those concerned about Lindsey Graham, they are including him in the Presser!

[defconw]

cigars all around?

[prairiebreeze]

Just poppin' in at the end of a very hectic day. Jumpin' for joy over the confirmation of three, count em' you dirty RATS, THREE conservative Bush appointed judges!

neener, neener, neeeeeener!

:^P

[defconw]

Frist said next week for Bolton!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Frist says he hopes to have a vote on Bolton later next week!

[Grampa Dave]

"We get to keep the filibuster as long as we don't use it. In the meantime, nazi's like Brown, Owen and Pryor have lifetime appointments to the court of appeals. And you can bet that one of these kooks will be nominated for the supreme court in 2-3 years. Hey Ben Nelson, this was really a great deal -- thanks a lot for the kick in balls."

These are relatively young judges. They could end up on the Supreme Court this decade or in the next decade. That to me is the real nuclear option we have with these judges being approved.
