Question. Someone told me that the Republicans blocked more than 100 of Clinton's nominations. I am assuming that each of these was blocked in an up or down vote. Is this correct?
To: Howlin
Dodd, too cheap to buy his own copy! I have to change stations now, B/P going up!
To: Republican Wildcat
It wasn't an afterthought that the Framers gave the President the ability to appoint judges. Nothing in that Constitution was an 'afterthought'. The President was given that power after the ineptness of his position without such powers under the Articles of Confederation.
Dodd waving around a copy of the Constitution. Claims he reads it and has respect for it.

Every Clinton nominee that was reported out of the Judiciary Committee receieved a floor vote, and were all confirmed. Those that were "blocked" were never reported out of committee, and the majority of them were appointments advanced in the last few months of Bubba's tenure.

Claims he reads it and has respect for it.Has no clue as to the meaning of the word "respect" when it comes to the Constitution. He uses it as his intellectual toilet paper.
To: whoozit
The telling statistic is the "overall confirmation rate", which tracks all nominations sent to the Senate, and takes into account all those confirmed vs. the total sent up. In Clinton's case, this number was about 53%. With GWB, its about 35%.

I am on instant messaging now with my colleague in Baghdad. He heard a big blast.

Keep it going. Don't stop at 30 hours. Stop it when enough of them agree that there will be an "up or down" vote on the four candidates. Go through Thanksgiving if necessary. You want nuclear, we'll give you nuclear. </dreaming>

The ones that made it out of committee, yes.
No one has ever been denied the up or down vote once it reached the floor.
Until last year.

He heard a big blast.Anything else? (The news networks have "better" things to talk about)
To: Citizen Soldier
Yes, I was just getting to write that myself. LOL!
