Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...
57 definite votes for Alito, 35 definite against. We could also get Snowe, Dorgan, and Landrieu. I doubt if any of the other uncommitted Rats will vote for Alito (Cantwell, Bayh, Rockefeller, Lautenburg, Menendez) There are more than 60 votes to cut off the filibuster.
Did they do a poll on what was important to Americans and decided they'd go with job outsourcing? *scratches head*
Both sides instead of just one, yes. The Pinkos did get a permit halfway down the block, but the traffic's moving too fast for anyone to read their signs. That's fine - I just didn't like them holding up signs calling our soldiers murderers right on the corner where the troops would see them.
Excellent work!
"Rancor has taken the place of reason..."
Good point!
Re: Senator John Ensign car accident
I think this clinches no filibuster. How crappy are the dems going to look in the news if they win on cloture by one vote, just because of a Senator's car accident. Media will make them look like opportunistic snakes.
Very poor form. Then again, they don't care how bad they look.
Stevens is up
Senator Domenici:
"Partisanship has taken the place of responsibility and fairness"
The two NJ Dems were supposed to have had a press conference by now to announce their intentions. How will they vote on cloture & on the nomination? Anyone know?
oops .. I just looked at the screen
I was wrong .. it's still Domenici

Jimmy Carter: At Least Hamas Is Not Corrupt
Sierra Times ^ | 1/27/2006 | Jim Kouri, CPP
"When asked by the media for his thoughts on the Hamas triumph in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, former President Jimmy Carter replied that while they have a terrorist past, at least they're not corrupt."
Once again, the devil's in the details, er, permit. Ya'll take care -- and thanks for reminding those at Walter Reed that we appreciate them.
patients=Patience!
He's already said he would vote against the nominee. As part of the gang-of-14, he has to invoke the phrase "extraordinary cirumstances" (or at least, it will be implied), if he votes against cloture.
