Quote of the Day by river rat

[Cboldt]

Surprisingly phrased article. It clearly says the Democrats are standing in the way, that there are enough votes to confirm the nominee.

The "spin" that there "was a loss on a crucial test vote" is cleared up later on, by saying the GOP expected to lose this one.

To Bill Frist, the eunuch son of Trent "The Eunuch" Lott -

"complex brew of ethnic and judicial politics"

What a bunch of sh*t --- it's not complex at all.
The RATS will only vote for someone whom they
think will crush the skull of the unborn and
throw the "unviable tissue mass" in the trash..

We have to force the democrats to a 24 7 filibuster

http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20030305-85303341.htm


This weekend would seem to be an opportune time for Republicans to put up a full-fledged floor flight against a filibuster on Mr. Estrada. It's time for Republicans to go to the mattresses — figuratively and literally. It's time for Republicans to march like the majority they are. It's time for Republicans to make 'em talk.

[ChewedGum]

I understand why they choose to link GOP and Lose in the headline, but a more accurate headline would be

"Democrats Vote to Continue Judicial Blockade."

Gum

[cynicom]

What part of 24/7 does clueless Frist not understand???? It seems he does not have the "time" or "inclination" to help Estrada. If Lott was a limp wimp, Frist is no better.

[WhiteGuy]

Nice work as usual John,

I see this situation as being nothing more than both sides agreeing to set the bar at 60 votes for any legislation that might be controversial.

In short a cop out and lack of leadership.

[lawnguy]

Would it be possible for the President to use this vote as moral authority for a recess appointment?

[meadsjn]

Those racist democrats are still discriminating against hispanics. Shameful.

Bush should take a page from clinton's playbook and do recess appointments on a grand scale.

[timydnuc]

My brethern, this is a victory. The RATS have shown their weakness, and they can be brought down. The Republicans should force a vote a day.

Note to Republicans: I believe in you, I voted for you, I expect you to STAND AND DELIVER! NOW, YOU DO IT!
