Next time I hear the faux females say "for the children" I'm liable to spit in their faces. These Women's have done nothing but damage Women's Rights
They are a DISGRACE!!

the Rats do have the advantage in that they have the King of filibustersThe 'Rats do have the advantage when it comes to a "good old fashioned" filibuster, but it has nothing to do with Senator Klanster.
In that type of filibuster, only one Dem at a time would have to be on duty and that would simply to object to any unanimous consent requests. On the other hand, the Pubs would have to have 51 present (or at least close at hand) at ALL TIMES. Otherwise, the Dem would point out the absence of a quorum and if 51 Senators did not answer roll, the session automatically ends untill the next day.

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were in an airplane that crashed.
They're up in heaven, and God's sitting on the great white throne.
God addresses Al first.
"Al, what do you believe in?"
Al replies, "Well, I believe I won that election, but that it was your will that I did not serve. And I've come to understand that now."
God thinks for a second and says "Okay, very good. Come and sit at my left."
God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"
Bill replies, "I believe in forgiveness. I've sinned, but I've never held a grudge against my fellow man, and I hope no grudges are held against me."
God thinks for a second and says "You are forgiven, my son.
Come and sit at my right."
God then address Hillary. "Hillary, what do you believe in?"
"I believe you're in my chair."

Where are any conservative (rational) women's groups. Perhaps we should get those names in the media.Concerned Women for America is the largest women's group in the United States. It's about 10 times larger than NOW and, naturally, conservative.

These so-called pro-choicers are really pre-mediating murder of another human being. Isn't there a crimianl law against THAT?
To: StriperSniper
Since Pryor is for him, I take it Holmes is a liberal, right?
To: cars for sale
I say keep voting and let them block all the rest of the judges over and over until they recess for winter. Many of the remaining laws for the season are government social programs that I don't want passed anyway.
To: AntiJen
I'm confused. They voted, and the 39 hours are over, yet they're still discussing judicial nominees. What gives?
To: SandyInSeattle

Well, you know what, since Daschle and Pryor are being so damn agreeable, I think the GOP so NOT vote on this nomination now.
Stop the process dead in its tracks.
To: No More Gore Anymore
Try to look on the bright side - - never again will a judge nominated by any future Democrat President who has the faintest whiff of liberal stench get confirmed by the Senate unless the Democrats have 60 Senators. Sure, the Democrats, inventors of the smear tactic known as "Borking", have just flushed 214 years of Senate history down the toilet, but eventually it will come back to bite them in the rear. I think you can count on that.
Regards,
LH

The 39 hours was about the 4 who have been denied a floor vote.
