I just heard John Warner say he would also vote for the constitutional option if democrats invoke the filibuster. Interesting.
Even the RINOS know this is a battle we must win. I think we will see some gona..........no, let's say we will see some backbone here.
"I just heard John Warner say he would also vote for the constitutional option if democrats invoke the filibuster. Interesting."
In the end, Bush will get his appointments.
I'm certain Bush would prefer to do it with decorum, rather than ugly. (Unlike the popular outcry on FR, I'll give benefit of doubt to some of the seven Republicans in the deal. I think they too want decorum, and the politeness of the Senate of olde.)
The dems sound like they will go ugly. Since they will not actually block the confirmations, they must make as much noise as possible, to convince their constituents they tried really hard.)
Earlier, Fred Thompson was appointed to spirit the process, eg. assist in the confirmation.
It will be fun to listen and watch a professional smooth talking southern lawyer, actor and politician wrap words around the deaniac party crazies. He'll talk Tennessee'an.
Bush talkin Texican. Cheney talkin Wyomin cowboy.
Stay tuned. Good show coming up.
