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...

On her way out, Babs almost body-checked Libby. I wonder what her monthy "Everready" tab is?
monthy = monthly

[deport]

but the donk base will force the donk seven to bolt for anyone who bush nominates to the SCOTUS.

Possible, but I think it depends upon which judge is being replaced.... If it's a liberal judge with a conservative then I agree.... But if it's a conservative with a conservative I don't think so.... jmo.

[Fudd Fan]

I think you have nailed it.

[FaithintheRight]

Great pic!

[RobFromGa]

Should I worry these 6th circuit judges are not conservative enough?

I have no idea. But I'm sure that they are more conservative than the Dem base would like to see by a long shot.

Feel the love ... Libby sort of stumbled as Babs passed.

Kennedy in the drink

Reid, Levin and Schumer smiling, must have just foreclosed on a widow's mortgage.

I can't get it to open, please describe!

[defconw]

LOL, never mind now I see it! LOL

Boyle & some others will be in front of the Judiciary Committee next week.

[llevrok]

I just hope the BigB has stopped pouting and will resume the Official Friday Silliness Thread tomorrow.

It's time to cut loose, B.

[JLS]

Here is the score card as of today with Pryor, Griffin and McKeague confirmed:

1. Boyle, “Blue slipped by Edwards” and renominated

2. Brown, Filibustered but CONFIRMED

3. Estrada, Filibustered and Withdrew

4. Griffin, “Blue Slipped” by Levin and Stabenow but CONFIRMED

5. Griffith, Filibustered and renominated

6. Haynes, Filibustered and renominated

7. Kavanaugh, Filibustered and renominated

8. Kuhl, “Blue Slipped” by Boxer and Feinstein and Withdrew

9. McKeague, “Blue Slipped” by Levin and Stabenow CONFIRMED

10. Meyers, Filibustered and pending

11. Neilson, “Blue Slipped” by Levin and Stabenow and renominated

12. Owen, Filibustered but CONFIRMED

13. Pickering, Filibustered and recess appointed which expired in Jan 2005

14. Pryor, Filibustered but CONFIRMED

15. Saad, “Blue Slipped” by Levin and Stabenow and renominated

We are one-third of the way done. Don't fall for the 10 story and forget Estrada etal. I sure hope Bush renominates him.

[OESY]

"I'll just have one more for the road!"

[Txsleuth]

Well, he better be in the mood for Friday Silliness--I gave him 10 big reasons!!! LOL

[JLS]

Edwards is not around to blue slip him now.

[defconw]

Estrada prpbably no longer wants it, pity! He'd have been a good one.

13. What a great fricking deal


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.


17. Its wonderful to have the filibuster and be unable to use it!


So, uh, what's the political advantage when they use the nuclear option to put on a supreme court neocon, as opposed to a circuit court one?

[defconw]

I hope someone drives him around!
