Hatch calls Kagan filibuster 'dirty thing to do'

By Eric Zimmermann - 07/01/10 12:19 PM ET

A Republican filibuster of Elena Kagan would be "an unheard of, dirty thing to do," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Thursday.

Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told ABC News's "Topline" today that his party won't prevent an up-or-down vote on Obama's SCOTUS nominee.

"Republicans aren't going to filibuster her," he said.

I guess Hatch has learned nothing from what happened to his RINO buddy Bob Bennett.

Do it anyway, or get carried out along with the other trash.

But what the Democrats did to Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas wasn’t a dirty thing to do, was it O Ron?

I am probably having a brain cramp, but is it even possible to filibuster a SCOTUS nomination? I thought a simple majority was all they needed.

So if Obama nominated the devil himself, it would be a dirty trick for the Republicans to filibuster???? Exactly who ISN”T qualified for the SC, if not Kagan?

No, "an unheard of, dirty thing to do" is what this POTUS, and his appointees, are trying to do to this country. We ain't seen "unheard of and dirty" unless they are stopped.

it’s not that the filibuster is too dirty for the politicians. Nothing is too low for a politician if the price is right. There is just no money in it.
