But...but Eleanor Clift and Jonathan Alter said the Democrats were making a big comeback!
Ok, we dont need the deal anymore, Time to Nuke the Judicial Filibuster!!
"Hmmmmm... what's this one say...? 'Nancy... Pelosi... Is... A... Filthy... Hermaphroditic... Skank... Hosebag' -- Whoa! Mom! LANGUAGE -- !" :)
Sorry Chuckie, those judges weren't rejected. They were never voted on in the first place.
Actually, the filibuster compromise didn't turn out so badly. I wasn't thrilled with it, but it was better than what had been going on before. The 'Rats will no longer use the filibuster on a routine basis because they know that the nuclear option can still be deployed.
So far, it's been all gain with little loss.
Well now the Comprimise all depends on their definition of extreme circumstances in which they can filibuster. If they follow it the way it should, it may continue on, but I wouldn't let them get away with much if I were Frist, McCain or any of the rest before Nuking the Judicial Filibuster
I thought McCain controlled the senate!!
My Bad.
I clerked for Griffin. Great guy.
The fact that the last two judges faced no hurdle probably suggests that these are the ones who believe in a living Constitution.
If Frist is smart, he'll exercise the Constitutional Option at the first sign of resistance from the RATS.
He's gonna need to do it before the SCOTUS nomination. Might as well get it out of the way.
That assumes, of course, he's got the leadership cojones that will take. If he doesn't, we're in deep do-do.
Thank you Trent Lott. Anyone wanna bet all three of these men would have been confirmed with the nuclear option? I doubt it.
There is much weeping at DU.
Better put some ice on that, Chuck.
Well then, Thank you John McCain for giving the American people some excellent judges whose impact will be felt for many generations.
They are both quiet, steady, conservative judges. They will be noncontroversial, but will strictly construe the constitution. (At least that's my prediction).
I checked there. They got conservative cartoon, Weekly Standard articles, it's pretty funny. It's like the left doesn't have anything interesting to say so they are left posting conservative views & b*tching about them.
I just read a thread where they are b*tching NPR. LOL.
