Hey calm down defcon, I was answering a question and never pile on. Nor do I need your explanations.
Having a bad day?

Yep! The Senate Rats would be better off being misquoted. It couldn't be any goofier than what they actually say.

I too am cautiously optimistic and can't believe it is even this close.

If they go with UC, won't they lose all their far-left support? They're all slavering for a filibuster. I guess if enough of the D's say they're going to vote for Alito that a filibuster would fail, the others could get away with voting for UC, but the ones who announced that they were intending to vote yes would be toast. It's a tough political call. Simpler sell to the masses, I think, if enough DEMs are "pure turncoats" so a filibuster can't be reasonably pulled. I think that's why the running count of votes is being made.
Purely as a matter of principle, the better approach is to be for the vote and against the nominee, but that would have cloture passing by a fat margin, which would confound the lefties something awful.
Looks like they're toast any way you wanna slice it. Damn the luck.
Yeah. They're in a jam. The challenge is figuring how to proceed while getting the smallest amount of "stuff" stuck to 'em.

No I am not having a bad day, but this my way or no way with our office holders gets us absolutely no where. I apologize for misinterpreting your post.

Leaky was accusing Hatch of not quoting him accurately about something...but, of course, he was too chicken to let Hatch back on to "discuss it"...
The dems are masters of the "hit and run" tactic...
To: Arizona Carolyn
What is so bad? Where do I begin.......
He supported Arlen Specter for re-election over Pat Toomey.
He supported mandatory trigger locks on handguns.
He supported LOST.
He supports "giving" a greater percentage of our GDP to foreign aid...echoing the words of Kofi Annan.
He supported an increase in the Federal Minimum wage.
He sponsored a bill to guarantee socailist insecurity payemnts to all born before 1950.......
Is any of that truly conservative? NO! He's a socialist in sheeps clothing...and because he's a high ranking member of the Republican party....he is more dangerous to our liberties than a junior member of the minority party could ever be. Santorum has no moral compass. His only guiding principle is this: What is best for Ricky.
To: retrokitten
If The Dems Don't Filibuster Alito -- It Is The End Of The USA Geez! What drama queens! Wow - Alito is really this powerful that he can bring down the USA??

Must mean Kerry watches H&C and heard Ann talking about how unqualified Miers is for SCOTUS.
To: JerseyDvl
Sorry guys, the thought of Dims getting physically ill over the SCOTUS has to be GREAT news! It made my day!
To: JerseyDvl
I can believe it's this close because they are that petty

It's all good...I take everything with a grain of salt.
I agree as well, any (R) is better than every (D) and that goes for McCain too if he is the nominee in '08.

To: saveliberty
It's this close because years of liberal control of the court is swinging to a position that will hurt them. Years of giving the court so much power to create law is about to bite them.
To: Arizona Carolyn
Nah, an aide probably gave him some of her stuff when the Miers debate was on. The Dems were gleeful.

Who cares if Nelson has voted for previous nominees.
The Dems have told us that Alito should get treated differently than anyone else.
Hey, Nelson. How about making sure that "Average Joes" don't get starved to death in your state.

Can't you just point to the last post you made concerning your gripes points against Santorum. You should be tired by now?
