The Republicans get everything they want - we end up with nothing.

Isn't this the way the script was written? [somebody post a picture of Democrats crying in the Boston rain, circa 11/04]

Levin:
"We submitted blue slips, but they ignored us"

Of course, they had the committee hearing, but the nominees were held anyway. And Hatch was trying to get rid of blue slips, and the republicans got rid of blue slips.

He mentioned that Alberto Gonzalez agreed that it was wrong to hold up the michigan nominees during clinton. But if I remember correctly, BUSH RESUBMITTED one of the michigan nominees in his first set of nominees, along with another CLINTON nominee -- they both got quick approval.

So Bush DID try to solve the problem.

we have sent ex-Chief Justices to other offices (for example Howell Heflin)

Well I hope you send Moore, no pun. Sitting up north here, I have the impression, Moore would beat Pryor in a general election.

Well Pryor is in now, lets see how he does.

Well, the DUmmies and KOSacks can hope that signing their "electronic" petitions can somehow force the HOUSE of reps (or if it is easier to think about it this way, tom delay) to impeach the president based on some stupid memo... The DU hive is about to melt down.

Yesterday, several GOP senators, notably Allen, said that they were strongly in favor of pushing ahead with all nominations, to force the Dems to decide if they want to filabuster, and then to go ahead with the nuclear option before a Supreme Court nominee comes up.

I'm startin' to like this Allen guy. :)

Yes, Allen has the potential to be the Senate version of DeLay, just without the ethical baggage.

Well, the state GOP establishment is against Moore, the business community is against Moore, Jeff Sessions is passionately against Moore because Moore embarassed him last year

That is what I thought, I just got done teaching for the day so I am behind the learning curve each day on this until the end of the month.
