Sen. Boxer Calls Nomination of Supreme Court Justice " an Extraordinary Circumstance"
Fox News

Posted on 07/19/2005 11:33:16 AM PDT by fedupjohn

Senator Barbara Boxer appearing on Fox News this afternoon was asked about the 'Gang of Seven' deal not to Filibuster nominees unless it is Extra-ordinary circumstances; declared that "with the right to privacy and Roe v Wade on the table this is an Extra-ordinary circumstance and the Filibuster is on the table".

Well people they just moved the goal posts.

"with the right to privacy and Roe v Wade on the table this is an Extra-ordinary circumstance ..

But, but, Barbara, The Constitution is a living, breathing document, so that means things change, and guess what, Roe v Wade isn't popular any more....

What goes around, comes around...

Chucky Shumer has stated the same weeks ago - or was he overheard saying the same on the train?

If they filibuster, Frist will pull the trigger. Game. Set. Match

I wish I could believe that.

Boxer needs more Twinkies. I think her sugar level is too low again.

It was never a matter of IF, it was just a matter of WHEN!

How's that taste, Sen. Graham? How 'bout you McCain?

They love it. Of course, it has a nasty kick about election time (at least if the fine folks in South Carolina and Arizona have enough gumption to realize that they've been rolled all these years).

Ooooh, other shoe has dropped. And as usual, we all knew it would.

"You must see something in Frist that he's failed to display to date. Every time he's pressed, he folds up like a clothes hamper"

That's not quite right, freind. The two outstanding votes to go nuclear last time were DeWine and Graham, remember. That wasn't Frist's fault. The GOP in the gang of 14 have already said an ideological disagreement does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance. Even McCain said SCOTUS nominee will get up & down vote.

KCRA's News Anchor Stan Atkinson had it right during the '92 race between Babs and Bruce Herschensohn when during an unfortunate "open mike" episode caught him muttering "b*tch" following a clip of her campaigning.

Well stated. Babs Boxer is a blight on the institution of the Senate (and with some of the folks that have passed through there, that's saying a lot).
