Just announced...Reid is to speak on Judicial nominations..
Understanding: We're going to do it our way and have an up or down vote or else!
Sheesh! Talk about a let down.
LOL
LOL!! Highway bill -- one bill that is GUARANTEED to please every Senator! HERE COMES THE PORK!!
I agree!
Really. Mute button time.
I thank Mitch for giving us Spine. I hope to see this far more often from all Reps.
Now, I want a vote.
If someone could, please ping me if they return to Judicial nominations, Bolton, etc.. Highway pork laden bill is of little interest to me.
The RNC heard my rants three times since last thursday! Maybe they should start listening ....
How did they end the debate? Are they all calling a truce? Pubs won't go nuclear if the Rats don't ever pull the same delay tactics in the judiciary committee as the Pubs did?

Hillary is way too quiet in this...She can't afford to try and head towards the middle and be involved in such heavy politics. You have got to believe that there's no way she'll maintain her calm for 3 more years-Repubs must draw out that shrill factor we know exists. Something's gotta give sooner or later and we need to push all her red buttons until she BLOWS!
Compromise: We could change the rules....get the judges "W" appointed and then right before an election that favors democrats change them back....That way the dems could have them in place like they have requested.;^)
Thanks. Think the Pubs finally mean business this time.
Not sure where the discussion goes next other than "off-line".
Reid says "if your holding out for up or down votes on everybody on the Senate floor, then forget it" - Go Nuclear! Go Now!
McConnell (sp) is saying that if the Dems agree to a process that everybody gets an up or down vote in the Senate AND everybody gets consideration in committee, then we won't need to go Nuclear.
Holding out an up or down vote.
MoveOn.Org makes the DUMBEST commercials I have ever seen. Most of the time they don't make any sense AT ALL. That just shows how out of touch they are with the "American People".
They were in the middle of a highway Bill. Dems got off topic. Mitch solidly countered them. A motion was put to return to the highway bill.
No truce was called. But for once we saw Spine from our Reps and they called the Dems to account for every lie and political device at their use. They refused to cave.
