What Bush should do is turn this into farse. Line up about 20 good people willing to do this. Nominate a good conservative justice. Wait one week for the democrats to make fools of themselves and withdraw the nominee - democrats vetoed him. Bring up the next guy. Wait one week for the democratw to make fools of themselves........Repeat for 2 years.
It's funny that all those liberals gave their comments to Newsday, the house organ of the Democrat Party.
Well, should one or both of these goodfellows go on to meet their maker, Bush might consider the following option:
Nominate the best constitutionalist available and when the RATs defeat him/her, leave the post vacant.
Memo to Dems -- blocking Supreme Court nominees won't be a winning proposition for 2008.
The blood will be on their hands, as well as any other who don't vote against them.
LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED.
LORD, GOD, PLEASE SHOW YOURSELF MIGHTY ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO SUPPORT LIFE AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
PLEASE REMOVE FROM PUBLIC LIFE ASAP ALL MURDEROUS IDIOTS WHO REBELLIOUSLY DEFY YOU AND YOUR PRIORITIES.
May they fall in their own pit.
May their arrogance smear their crud all over their own faces.
May their insolence stab them in their own tender spots.
May their stupidity catch them in the most intense humiliations.
May their secret idiocies undo their smugness.
May their brazenness govern the degree of the exposure of their own evils.
May their pontifications be shown to be worse than the ravings of a physically brainless idiot.
May their power mongering land them in the tiniest of confinements with the least power over even the lowest around them. May the janitors and maids around them have power over them.
If possible and fitting because some shred of them seeks you, please save their souls. But, Lord, Please save our land from their evils, as well. Remove them from public life with great noise and publicity on a par with all their lies and evil noise.
In Jesus' Name.
May all who feel in agreement join in a similar prayer of agreement.
The Democrats may have majority....a one seat majority! And let's not assume all are in lockstep in this!
if we had used the nuclear option last year - we would have lost the ability to use the fillibuster next year, when we are the minority.
in the end - the gang of 14 got us Alito and Roberts, and we could not have done better with those two picks.
Very stupid of the RATS to try and make being pro-abortion such a prominent qualification, especially before there is a nomination. They will lose support if they try to force their litmus test on the President's nominees.
We need to understand that one cannot get between the Dems and their lust for killing babies. These people are freaking jokes.
It will greatly benefit Republicans if Bush sends judges for confirmation that the Dems will seek to shoot down.
Let 'em shoot the judges down, and then rub their noses in it like a puppy!
Just propose judges that stay out of the issue, and want to allow the voters of each state to decide abortion laws for themselves.
It takes a spine to "take action." Puh-leeze!!
There is no "consensus" on abortion. You are either for it or against it. And any so-called "middle ground" is immediately torpedoed by the far-left as a "slippery slope". By "consenus", Leahy means "agree with me".
I wonder how long Leahy plans on keeping the court down at 8 justices while they piddle, twiddle and resolve.
Then it would be used AGAINST us now.
I would tell Bush to give them the finger and send the most conservative pro-life candidate he has.
I'm glad Bush is being given his marching orders. /sarc
