Obama will NOT sign up with Hillary! (a/k/a Mrs. Bill Clinton) if he thinks she/they is/are going to go down in flames.
The math is slightly off - - seven Democrats in the "Gang of Fourteen" have promised not to filibuster, plus there are three Democrats who already announced that they will vote for Alito, meaning the most the Democrats would get is 35 votes (including Jeffords).
Which cracks me up no end, especially because one of those senators who "voted him down" is now the Chairman of that committee!
now if stevens and ginsberg would both die
i would have to think about this anymore.
This guy is about as dumb as they come. He is nothing but a "Black" racist that is going nowhere fast. Keep an eye on him and watch him fade over the next few years. And....if folks think this guy is going to help Hillary Clinton get elected POTUS, or any other Democrat Traitor get elected POTUS, you'd be sadly mistaken. Now, if you want to talk about political power, talk about Hispanics or Asians, because that's where the political action is. Blacks are to busy mired in hating whites racism, following destructive and ineffective "Black" leaders, and are going forward to zilch, other than staying bound to the bottom of the economic and opportunity pole the Democrat "Slavery" Party has attached them to for the past fifty years. They are indeed a lost people. What a shame!!!
LOL! I read their "Alito" discussion board yesterday. They're going nuts (well, more nuts than usual, LOL.) Looking forward to checking in over there when the fillibuster fizzles. They used to all talk about moving to Canada, but since Canada "changed parties" they seem to prefer Belize.
"Osama Obama...hic!"
Yet another Derm profile in courage.
Snort.
I think the Dems believe they'll win the presidency in '08.
With a minority in the Senate or a bare majority in the Senate, they would need the rules change about voting on judges in order to get their justice nominees approved.
But...the Constitution was written with the nomination process intended to go forward. It was not written with a bizarre Senate rule about unlimited debate in mind.
Obama the big thinker and VP wannabe.
C-Span ran some of the senate debate on Alito last night, including a press conference directly after the judiciary committee vote. Republicans lined up around the microphone, and Senator Sessions stood to the left. Ordinarily, your eye lights on the tallest person, but something about Sessions draws you. Whether it's his quiet poise, integrity, whatever...I couldn't look away from him, though he isn't tall, nor was he moving around, talking, etc.. He's one of those rare people, his character just shines.
You're right.
He'll happily keep getting elected until somebody whispers in his ear that he ought to run for President. And then it will be John Kerry all over again.
"When the Democrats are not forced to follow Senate precedent, they consistently side in favor of the more powerful special interest groups."
I would say the statist, collectivist and elitist groups.
Republicans will not filibuster judges. Even after all of this. Republicans just don't operate that way.
If the President nominated a black conservative, there'd be race riots. The Dems would see to that.
But he won't.
Ding! ding! ding! ding!
Can you say "Mondale-Ferraro?" Can you say "worse than Mondale-Ferraro?"
Rustnotgold, Turban and Stabintheback--what a slimy trio that is. Throw in the instigators Manslaughter Kennedy and Longface Traitor Kerry and you have five future inductees into the Despicable Obnoxious Government Slime (DOGS) Hall of Fame.
