Now's their chance to put a stop to the witch hunts. Pickering must be confirmed. For God's sake, he was already confirmed! These bickering partisan senatorial democraps need to get on with the nation's business and stop letting special interest groups run the country. For victory & freedom!!!

Is Biden changing his tune?...will he vote to report out?

[Dog]

Biden really said this:

Biden, however, concurred with Specter's assessment.

"The Constitution does not say the Senate Judiciary Committee shall advise and consent, it says the Senate shall give its advice and consent," he agreed.

It is not fun posting on every thread and annoying all of you. We are volunteers and do so because we love Free Republic and want to see it continue for a long time.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to on the internet to find out what's happening with politics?
Am I getting any benefit from Free Republic?
Am I learning from Free Republic?

Free Republic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are almost 80,000 registered users on Free Republic and approximately 1,000 Freepers help keep this forum running. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by bumping the threads once in a while. I've been in a position where the funds were low and every penny was needed to pay for frivolous things such as food. Those who do have the means should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader. Go ahead, flame me. I don't care. I contribute to Free Republic, and I for one do not want to see this forum dead.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again. Thus ending the silly graphics and posts. But, it's not happening, so we will continue this annoying process until we reach our goal.

Dasshole if the primary roadblocker in Pickerings' case, leading the partisan attack.

Given his foot-in-mouth problems, this will probably backfire on him big-time.......FRegards

Specter suggested that Pickering's nomination be moved to the full Senate for debate and a vote, even if the committee gives him an "unfavorable" recommendation. Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) said such a move would be "unprecedented."
"That's not accurate. There is, in fact, precedent for moving appellate and even district court nominees to the floor for a vote even when they have not received favorable support from this committee," Hatch explained. "Based on our research since 1950, this committee has moved at least six lower court nominees to the floor for consideration either without a recommendation or with a negative recommendation after the committee has voted them down."

So little Tommy got caught in ANOTHER lie! I hope the Repub. Senators DO push to have Judge Pickering's nomination go before the FULL Senate. If they give up on him, then Planned Barrenhood and People for the UnAmerican Way will have won and will only come back even HARDER on the next candidate.

[Lancey Howard]

It was the scumbag Democrats who invented "Borking" and it's the scumbag Democrats who continue to work relentlessly to fine tune the art of the smear and the lie. My opinion is, screw 'em all. Let the Democrats bury everybody and let the vacancy crisis deepen. (You remember the "vacancy crisis", right? The liberal news media used to tell us about it all the time during the Scumbag Administration.) Let nobody get confirmed until there is a 60 vote majority of decent humans in the Senate. Recall that the Republicans actually came pretty close a few years ago and it is something which is entirely within reason to hope for.

Meantime, let the scumbag Democrats play their game, the game they invented. I will be extremely disappointed if the Republicans capitulate to the scumbags in any way, shape, manner, or form.

Isn't there a day that goes by without the idiot Daschle sticking his foot in his mouth?

There is no doubt in my mind that the Dems are protecting Roe vs. Wade. They are scared sh!tless or this nonsense would cease. The liberals dominate both Judiciary committees to make sure this will never happen!!!!!
