Forcing Estrada to twist in the wind for more than two years is just plain wrong. The ineptness of the Republicans in the Senate is unconscionable at the very least. Or is it actually laziness?

Then come up with a solution. (And please don't trot out the ol' 24/7 line again.)

GET THE JOB DONE. That's why we elected them. To get the job done.

Hell, we could have gotten this kind of treatment from the Dems.

Here's a solution....Change the damn rules back to the old filibuster rules.

I am SICK of Republicans being weak and I LOATHE the evil Democrats. This could be the first time I DON'T VOTE.

Good point.

But I see nothing wrong with people who can't devise a solution (so far, in addition to the disappointed posters here, the GOP Senate fits that description) being disappointed, and venting.

I suppose, with the lock that the DEM persuasion has on the media, we can't know whether the masses were deprived of seeing the GOP actions (or even ongoing expression of outrage), or whether there was no such action or expression.

I was excited when Hatch and Bush talked-up the prospect of changing the Senate voting rules as applied to judicial nominees, but that topic got overshadowed by unquestionably more important world developments.

Judicial appointments are a key part of our form of government, and I DO trust the GOP to make the most of the situation. I also believe GWB fully intends to take advantage of the situation, with the goal of reducing judicial activism for us, and our posterity.
