[Fudd Fan]

Looks like Dingy is praying to allah

Pryor was fulfilling his job description as perscribed by the Alabama State Constitution.

And besides, Roy Moore was totally in the wrong. He brought in that monument for the sole purpose of having it challenged, because he has higher political aspirations, and in Alabama, we have sent ex-Chief Justices to other offices (for example Howell Heflin)

[ken5050]

Surrender..

[Truth Table]

Yep, DU heads exploding 2 days in a row. It's great fun.

...Which is why I hope Frist keeps feeding the KOSacks and Dummies judges every morning until we have no more judges to feed them. The Donks will have to filibuster something or the hippies from berzerkly are going to reconstitute the SLA and winter soldiers to attack their own senators!I do not think that donk filibuster as a tactic will make it to the SCOTUS

[Fudd Fan]

Nope, it just tickles me no end!

Don't know that he "lisps" but he does tend to slur his words a little. He might have hung up, knowing him, he can't take it.

Levin is just angry because the nominee the Republicans blocked during the Clinton years was his cousin.

If it wasn't his cousin taht was involved before these fine nominees would never have been blocked

[defconw]

Frist voted, but I don't remember hearing Sessions or Stevens, but I won't set it in stone!

[johnmecainrino]

Salazar voted aye because pryor and salazar were both state attorney generals, salazar is a no for most conservate judges he agreed to harry reid to fillabuster william haynes and brett kavanaugh.

There are no closet Dims in Seattle. Sadly, they are all "out".

It is us, the Pubbies, who are most likely to be closeted in the Puget Sound area.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Not sure but if some Dems are supporting them then I guess it could happen!

[ken5050]

Levin, in the way he is cutting Abraham is going waaay over the bounds of senatoral courtesy..

[Dan from Michigan]

she's gonna praise them now..then why did you block them..stupid..?

I don't know....election year maybe?

She and Lenin LEAD THE CHARGE in blocking them. She's the most two faced POS in the senate. At least I know where Lenin usually stands. I know where Stab stands as well, but she'll just send a letter about how pro-gun she is and then "stabs you now".

Senator Keith Butler sounds good about now.

[maryz]

How long is he going on? He's only up to 2002!

[Primetimedonna]

senatoral courtesy

Isn't that an oxymoron??

[FaithintheRight]

Frist voted AYE on Pryor
