Reid, Schumer and Leahy begging for 'compromise'. Don't know if they will dump Reid, but Mitch McConnell is cleaning their clock right now.

Fortas was a little different. His character was attacked not his views. That old hidden past thing. I forgot what it was about. It was a mixed bag of things.....
President Lyndon Johnson nominated Associate Justice Abe Fortas to be Chief Justice in June 1968. A bipartisan coalition of Senators soon formed to oppose Justice Fortas's elevation. The reasons were varied. Some opposed the nomination because Justice Fortas often joined the "progressive" Earl Warren wing of the activist Supreme Court. Other Senators opposed Fortas because of his admission before the Judiciary Committee that he remained involved in White House political affairs even while serving on the Supreme Court, including advising the President regarding the Vietnam War and recent race-riots in Detroit. When it was discovered that Justice Fortas had accepted $15,000 (more than $75,000 in 2001 dollars) from controversial sources to teach a nine-week academic course, support further deteriorated. Yet as the heated 1968 election season continued, some Democrats were wary of defeating Fortas if that meant leaving the nomination to soon-to-be-President-elect Richard Nixon.

Question is -- will the 'Rats go "all in" on a losing hand, or will they get out while they still can? If the Dems don't filibuster .. their base will be TICKED
If they do follow through with a filibuster ... the they are screwed in the future
The real question is .. will the Pubbie stand strong and not lose their spines
The Better stand strong!

I was 21 the day Reagan was shot and both my brother (XJarhead) and I saw the broadcast -- we couldn't believe that Haig was that ignorant of the Constitution and the Law!

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that it was used intra-committee during Carter's administration.

will the 'Rats go "all in" on a losing hand, or will they get out while they still can? They'd be smart to make as few ways as possible....but know their leadership they'd rather draw attention to their dirty underware and blame someone else for soiling it.

No, the aide did not hang up on me. We actually had a very good, cordial discussion. I felt like he was writing down notes of what I said. I was careful to get my point across without sounding smarmy or rude.

The Byrd option? LOLIs that the one where we all go out and burn crosses?
