[ken5050]

Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...

NOTEPAD!..aha!! that's it....kewl...I've been using POST-ITS..no wonder I have a prob..

[Howlin]

but watching Norm Coleman get a dressing-down from the likes of British scum like Galloway gives me trepidation.

Norm Coleman is not a fool; he let him rant for a reason.

[Txsleuth]

Oh man, Don Nickles is on Fox just going on and on about what injustice was done to Miguel Estrada---

He shouldn't have retired---dang, I like him!!

[Bahbah]

your take on Coleman's hearing yesterday

Coleman made several appearances after the hearing. In all of them he was smiling like the cat that ate the canary :)

[Dad yer funny]

yup , yer correct-a mundo , let us not forget Norm commes from a household where much was said [and shouted,no doubt] big Brooklyn absorb & debate style

[JustaCowgirl]

Love it, C-SPAN soap operas!

Red staters indeed. They want to be re-elected above all else.

[Howlin]

Exactly!

[ken5050]

see #56..I think he comes back...

[Howlin]

Chaplain Barry Black leads the prayer to start the session.

It wasn't Coleman's intent to debate Galloway but to have his comments on record. Coleman remarked that though Galloway was colorful he's not credible. As a prosecutor, Coleman is setting the stage, so to speak. More, much more to come, IMHO.

[cyncooper]

We'll see... but watching Norm Coleman get a dressing-down from the likes of British scum like Galloway gives me trepidation.

Cheer up. Coleman emerged the winner in that.

[Howlin]

I wish we knew who they were!

[OXENinFLA]

Leahy is just lying through his teeth........

Finally a caller got through that said that once judges got to the floor they deserved a vote. Leahy came back w/ the 61 Clinton judges that were "held up in committee"

[Sacajaweau]

It's a great tactic. Works well on little children who more often than not...Catch themselves while trying to escape.

[OXENinFLA]

Here we go!

[Txsleuth]

LOL---I thought for a second, you meant Don Nickles!!!

[Dad yer funny]

yup , and Fat Teddy Wetbrain will also be on the SPEED channel , driving stunt cars for Joey Chitwood's Hell Drivers

[OXENinFLA]

Frist up, Brownback is the Chair......

[mathluv]

I loved it when he said he had been in the senate for 24 years, and that it has only been the last 2 years that judges were filibustered. ... the voice of experience.
