The DemonRATS will let no Bush judicial nominee like Owens, Pickering or Estrada be confirmed no matter what by any and every means necessary.

Bush and Frist and everyone under the sun can do or try anything they want and God Bless them for it, but it ain't going to happen.

This is the way the DemonRATS legislate and liberals get their laws made: FROM THE BENCH!

That power will not be allowed to be taken from them and the rule of law by The Consitiution to be re-instated... Look how the liberals power worked in New Jersey: liberal judges threw out the law and declared that voting laws in NJ are what they say they are and not how they are written the the NJ law books. That is the way the liberals want the entire country at the federal level to operate.

[You Dirty Rats]

I think you give the 'Rats too much credit.

They didn't want Dubya in the White House, and got the SCOFFLAWS to try and change the rules, but SCOTUS slapped them down.

If a vote is held in the Senate and a majority vote to confirm a federal judge, there is no way SCOTUS would enforce the filibuster and not recognize the confirmed judges.

This is a crisis inside the Senate, nothing more. In the end, the Republicans have the majority. All the 'Rats can do is bloviate.

The DemonRATS will let no Bush judicial nominee like Owens, Pickering or Estrada be confirmed no matter what by any and every means necessary.

They may be running out of ways to keep it going. The DEMONCRAT coup on judges MUST NOT STAND. If not that will be the end of 225 years of an independent judiciary. That would be tragic. Minority rule does not apply to Presidential appointments, period.

How to change the 60 vote rule.
1. vote on a change of the rule and pass it with only 51 votes.
2. the democrats will complain that to change the 60 vote rule you need 60 votes.
3. republicans disagree and the Supreme Court decides
4. the court votes 5-4 to favor the republicans because it is SO OBVIOUS that the senate can't create a rule that prevents the majority from eventually doing what the constitution says it is authorized to do.

GET THIS UNDERWAY NOW - and ask the court to expedite its decision and if it works - we have Roe v wade overturned very very quickly and the courts become very conservative before Bush is out of office.

BUT NOW WATCH OUT _ the democrats get back in power - they only need 51 votes to get their liberal judges into position - and they will - so it cuts the other way then but for now - oh well - lets go for it!

"Bush and Frist and everyone under the sun can do or try anything they want and God Bless them for it, but it ain't going to happen."
Frist, et al are asking for unilateral disarmament from the Dems. Why would anyone that has power to do what they think is right give that power up without a fight? Would Bush "cave" on an issue because Daschle wanted him to - I think not. Unless a strategy can be worked out to defeat the current dem strategy, they may have just enough power to win this one.
Nuclear warfare can be pretty damn messy & the policy of MAD worked for years with the Soviets - the "nuclear" option in the Senate just, just might be the same deal & have some nasty unintended consequenses for those that resort to it's use first. I'm confident in the current leadership (at least for now) to do all they can, without falling on their swords, to find a winning strategy.

But OPRAH is on….

A Republic, If You Can Keep It At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results, and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished, asked him directly: "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" "A republic if you can keep it" responded Franklin.

Please, please be true. I am so sick of limp wrist republicans (LWR) playing "Kissy Kissy" all over the place to play nice with Democrats who have taken an oath of Allegance to a Marxist Takeover of this Country.

I am so tired of all the let downs, and I am so used to all the LWR Republicans actions that I am really afraid to get my hopes up. Republicans should be able to stand tall and proud and to be able to proclaim that they stand

BY the Constitution,

For the Constitution,

and With the Constitution!

They need to shout it from the Rooftops and really act as MEN instead of feminizeed wimp limp wrist kissy kissy Republicans (FWLWKKR)'s.
