I don't know anything. Just hoping for retirement soon.
I can't either.
we need 50.
remember the people whose votes we need to count on to hold 50 for a rules change:
Chaffee, Collins, Snowe, McCain, DeWine, Warner, Voinovich, Lisa Murkowski, etc.
voting for Alito himself, is a totally different vote for these senators - then voting to change the rules.
And Alito would end up getting on the court anyway and they could no longer filibuster any of Bush's court nominees. Sounds good to me too.
If on the other hand there are 41 votes against Alito and they are smart enough to not filibuster, then their base goes crazy.
Told ya, told ya and told ya Dems. Stupid is as stupid does. Challenging Specter's decades of coveted authority was damn stupid. I believe Specter was going to vote for Alito minus this incident. But if you can't muster support for a filibuster, it's for a few reasons. One, we'll rebel and they may be scared of being Daschle'd. Two, Alito did extrodinarily well.
And, the two factors you did have control over that have power to mve Specter and RINO's? Challenging Specter and making Alito's wife cry. You overplayed your hand and no one but yourselves to blame.
What is the price to rid the nation of irresponsible "representatives"?

I wonder whether he and his wife would offer their own fetus to prove the point, or their daughter's?

One can only hope :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Schmukie Schumer the SENIOR Senator from New York?

I just want to see the Rats tap-dance.
Man, that's too bad about losing on the Panthers . . . my condolences.
I should have used the sarcasm tag....I call him the JUNIOR senator because with the witch around I'm SURE he IS INDEED the JUNIOR senator and SHE the Senior senator. She rules all of those nitwits remember?
