That UC agreement has nothing to do w/ the vote, they just agreed on the time, who would talk, and what time the vote would take place.

The unanimous consent agreement was to a time to vote on the nmination. Clinton is cleary on record AGAINST the nomination.

Leahy's going on about how long he's been in the Senate (too long IMO) and praising Dingy Harry. It sounds like a retirement speech so far. (Would that it were!)

<< Harry's got mush for brains, yes? >>
In saying this, you insult honest, decent, hardworking mush everywhere!

CSPAN just reported "they are hearing Roberts will be sworn in at the WH about 3PM today."
To: Cboldt
Did I just hear C-SPAN announce Roberts swearing in is scheduled for 3:00PM this afternoon?

"Dingy Harry makes Tom Daschle look like a Statesman"
I remember thinking when Dingy was minority whip, 'this is the best the Dims could come up with?' Now it's even worse. Turbin makes Reid look like a Statesman.

Looks like the vote will be close to my prediction on 9/15/05:
Do not underestimate the RATs to make a small "statement" on this vote. Expect something like 70-25 with 5 abstains.

I'm multi-tasking, and missed an announcement of time and place for swearing in.
Anyway, the nomination is a foregone conclusion. I hope Roberts is a "good witch."

Yes!
Who doubts the name of the next nominee can be far behind?

john kerry:
"I will vote against the nomination of John Roberts to serve as Chief Justice of the United States.
I refuse to vote for a Supreme Court nominee who came before the Senate intent on demonstrating his ability to deftly deflect legitimate questions about his views, opinions and philosophy.
If he is confirmed and he may well be the Roberts Court will shape the course of constitutional law for decades to come. It will decide dozens of cases that will define the depth and breadth of freedom in America our commitment to civil rights, our dedication to civil liberties, our devotion to privacy and a woman's right to choose.
With that much at stake, Judge Roberts needed to show us where his heart is. Instead he recited case law and said little about what he really thought.
While I recognize that other members of the Senate will legitimately make a different choice, I will vote NO on the Roberts nomination. "
hey hanoi kerry your vote does not count you traitor!

The "Move On FReepers" are going to hate Judge John Roberts
"If the Constitution says that the little guy should win,
the little guy's going to win in court before me.
But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well,
then the big guy's going to win,
because my obligation is to the Constitution. That's the oath," he said.
