It has been clear for months that the Senate as presently constituted does not want to, and will not, confirm constitutionalist judges.

There are 30 votes AT THE MOST for Brown, Owens, and other similar judges. The reason for all the fussin' and fightin' is that the 25 Republicans who would vote "no" if they were free are afraid of the folks back home (as well they should be).

The "filibuster" has been for them a dream, since they can "support" the President by voting "aye" on a cloture motion which is certain to fail, so that they then are relieved of the task of betraying President Bush in public.

WE NEED MORE CONSERVATIVE SENATORS-or we need to get about serious consideration of our God-given alternatives.

Oh, come on! There are over 50 votes for each of those judicial nominees. Maybe Chafee and the Maine gals and a couple of other RINOs would vote against them, but there would be at least 50 Republicans plus Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska voting for Brown, Owens and the others.
