The good thing about the Dems filibustering, it will give the GOP some balls to filibuster a Democrats Supreme Court nominee.

You're not getting it.

41-43 Democrat senators are personally committed to radical leftism.

There are not 20 Republicans who are personally committed to constitutionalism and to the defeat of socialism.

A Republican filibuster of Jamie Gorelick or Lawrence Tribe would be impossible with the present crew.

You're about 'right on'. I think the only question is how many of the non-committed RINO's and DIMS will vote for Alito.

Never say "IMPOSSIBLE."



Liberals don't always keep their word.

Kerry voted for a filibuster before he voted against it.

It riles them to believe that we perceive the web they weave.

The loony left is absolutely going bugf*ck getting finger strain from speed dialing (harassing) Senator aides.

This is going to be good. I think they will take this worse than bush being re-elected.

If the Repubs use the nuke option, is it good for just this vote or all votes, of this nature, in the future?

Nobody expects the French filibister from Europe! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise, Botox, Teresa, shaved eyebrows, our bikey, our boat and the fact we were in Vietnam!
