Filibuster Alert!

It appears this is upcoming in the Senate!

[Salvation]

GOP judges still wild card - (Barbara Boxer v. Carolyn Kuhl)

[votelife]

time to call the Senators again for Kuhl

[Mister Baredog]

This is all going to come to a head over the Supreme Court, and it's coming soon!!!

[newgeezer]

Well, let's see...

Miguel Estrada,

Priscilla Owen,

Carolyn Kuhl.

Zip, zero, nada.

Maybe they want him to nominate Carolyn Mosely-Braun. Or, Al Sharpton. (It's a cinch Charles Pickering didn't have a snowball's chance in RATville.)

[HatSteel]

Ping.

Yesterday's confirmation/rules hearing settled that a new Senate is not bound by old rules since it is not a continuing body. The Constitution gives each Senate the right to make its own rules.

Expect the cloture rule to change or the dem's to give in and allow the votes.

[Sparta]

Write your Senators. Tell them to give President Bush his court nominees.

[Michael.SF.]

Still, none of this has discouraged the Left from distorting Judge Kuhl's record and mischaracterizing her work at the Justice Department two decades ago.

The longer these filibusters go unchallanged the more the dems are encouraged to keep pursuing them. Most of the voters do not care about this as a galvanizing issue, which is indeed sad.

I did not like Trent Lott's actions as Senate Majority last year, primarily because he was a patsy to the dems time afer time.

We keep hearing of these 'nuclear' plans and special procedures to defeat the filibuster, but nothing comes of it.

Frist had better do something soon or we will never get a SCOTUS nominee confirmed.

[Gunder]

If ever we needed encouragement to increase our Senate numbers in '04.

[Graewoulf]

This democrat sillyness will continue until the spineless Republicans stop having a partial filibuster, and agree to insist that the democrats have a true, stop-all-other-Senate-business, filibuster.

The U. S. Senate Republicans are their own worst enemies!
