[TheBigB]

10 to 1 he starts ranting about that damn Herbert Hoover next.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Schumer is saying this is Bad....public is on our side!

[Not A Snowbird]

Did he say, "comedy" in the senate? Or commity?

[Mo1]

So they are really saying the Majority of the American people are Radical religious right extremists. LOL

Apparently since they voted for these republicans in office

[Bahbah]

Now Leahey is talking about a compromise. Gee .. they sure have changed their tone

It's what they always do. When they lose, they try to get our side to give up something. AND OUR SIDE DOES IT. PLEASE, NOT THIS TIME. Oh, no, they believe their own contrived poll. I think they know better.

[truthkeeper]

Oh please, PLEASE rip it apart!

[Eagle of Liberty]

Schumer wearing a different suit from earlier today.

[kcvl]

I SMELL FEAR!!!

[Mo1]

Chuckie is now pleading with the other side for a compromise

[deport]

Abe Fortas when LBJ nominated him for Chief Justice to replace Earl Warren. However it was a bipartisan debate and the cloture vote failed by a margin of 45-43. Twenty-four Republicans and nineteen Democrats voted against the cloture motion - with ten Republicans and thirty-five Democrats in favor of cutting off debate. President Johnson then withdrew the nomination.

The Senate has never blocked by filibuster a nominee to any lower court.

People with winning hands go for victory. People with losing hands go for compromise.

[Digger]

Notice the Dems didn't start hyperventilating till we flooded washington following the blocking of Bolton scaring the Reps in WA with mass revolt. We, the grassroots of the Republican base, shifted the momentum on the issue back where it belongs. It's up to the Republicans to do their job and VOTE now.

Thank all of the talk show hosts for staying with it & especially Laura Ingrham. She not only talked it but pushed for ACTION. Good Luck today, Laura on your operation. It's evident that we will win this.

[jonsie]

I believe he meant Frist.

[bertmerc1]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Are you saying the Republicans used the filibuster on judicial nominees in the past?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I SMELL FEAR!!!

I love it!

[kcvl]

Schumer is saying this is Bad....public is on our side!

Maybe in his world.

[ken5050]

When McConnell compliments you.. the Dems..look out.also, note that it is Mitch, and NOT Frist, who is responding to Reid..a not-so-subtle put down

[Mo1]

I SMELL FEAR!!!

The Pubbies best not back down!!

[deport]

I can't believe there is no plan in place as to the WHEN?

---

You know this how?.... just because one hasn't been made public doesn't mean one isn't in place.

[OXENinFLA]

I'll have to read the rest of this tomorrow...gotta go...
