Boxer cries because she imagines Janice Brown being confirmed.

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.
Re: your tagline. She can freepmail me :)
Is she one of the "Gang of Seven"? On what planet would Barbara Boxer be considered a "moderate"? If she is not part of the signitories to the deal, she has no standing to say what they meant when they said "extraordinary".
The DUmmies have been saying all along that any USSC nomination is "extraordinary". I guess we know where Babs surfs in her spare time.
It really doesn't matter what babs has to say. If any of the gang of 14 said it then it would be of import but as long as the 7 dimocrats support cloture there cannot be a fillibuster.
Her Senate seat is the safest in the country; so getting hysterically bitchy is one of her perks.
I think that this is the end of the line for the Democrats obstruction. I think the President will be leaning VERY HARD. I think that the Rove situation has people in the White House FUMING MAD. There will be little tolerance for the Democrats usual song and dance. This one gets rammed through.
I say we take off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
Why do you think Frist would not pull the trigger? He was going to month before last until the gang of 7 sold him out. What are you talking about?
If Frist "pulls the trigger" then maybe I will resume contributing to the Republican Party.
Are there any other DINOs that were not part of the Gang of 14?
What happens if the vote is, say, 59-35 with 6 not voting? That is over 60%, can the filibuster be stopped on that?
If they are going to filibuster, then we are going to use the nucular option, and that means that we're going to go back and resurrect Saad's nomination, which was quashed by the McCain insurrection.
Boxer is in fact herself an Extraordinary Circumstance.
Oh thank God. I thought they were going to approve of his candidate. Bush should recind the nomination and go with a real bible thumping, warmongering, racists conservative.,....
YeeeeeeeeHAH!
The liberal Democrats would filibuster anything less than liberal...
Fine let's see if Mcpainintheass stix to this statement with action.
..."If they filibuster, Frist will pull the trigger."...
Frist and the Republicans better strap on a set of balls cuz the fight is about to begin....
