The Democratic Party: Obstructionists to the very end!

[I still care]

None of Bush's judicial nominees has been voted down in the full Senate, although two were stopped in the Judiciary Committee.I was under the impression it was more than two.

Dems plot last ditch effort to block judicial nomination

They are going to get Hillary involved? Oh, my bad! The headline says ditch. Sorry.

Democratic senators and liberal groups have criticized Shedd's ruling as a trial judge, saying he has been insensitive in civil rights and employment discrimination cases.

Will anybody ever be required to put-up-or-shut-up regarding these silly allegations of racial insensitivity? He's a Bush nominee and a friend of Thurman. That's enough to get the racial Jihadists opposed to him. The rest of the media just carries their charge without any examination of the particulars.

So what's their beef with Shedd on "civil rights cases"? I have yet to hear any specifics.

For those who understand why the Louisiana election is crucial to retaining the Senate in the face of possible Republican defections by Chafee and McCain, please see the article just posted on:

The President's approval ratings must not be quite high enough for the dems. LOL.

Wade Henderson, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, said:
"Senators who voted to confirm Dennis Shedd and Michael McConnell sent a clear signal to women, racial minorities, workers and consumers across America that their voices will not be heard."

Or:
"Senators who voted to confirm Dennis Shedd and Michael McConnell sent a clear signal to decent, hard-working, traditional families across America that their voices have been heard."
