Throwing "Sheets" Byrd under the bus, just by using his own words against him. BEAUTIFUL!

Good to see the GOP showing the 'RATS hypocrisy with factual quotes!

Obama & Durbin should split their vote on the judicial nominees so that the minority Republican in Illinois have their voice heard..(tongue planted firmly in cheek). Let's whine about having two Democrat senators and a Democrat Governor (who is fascinated with his genitals) and scream that our voices are not being heard.

May I break in again and request an update please? I haven't been able to do anything but work this morning. I've read that Rush said the compromise isn't going forward.

I read Kristol thinks their are 6 Pubs that won't vote with Frist. Personally I'd believe what Mitch McConnell said yesterday that if they need the votes they will have the votes.

Glad to quickly skim and see Hatch is doing well. Have I missed anything else of major importance?

Thanks in advance

I totally agree with your words. Everyone should be watching and see the truth. Like you said, the MSM will not report the facts.

Oh NO!! Teddy is up! :( :( EEEKKKK!!!

I should have said more, see post #962!

Although Sen Hatch was lambasting the DemonicRats pretty good.

Why did Hatch just yield to Kennedy?

Was that already a 1/2 hr?

Well, that term happens to have lots of different meanings, depending on who you ask, and what your point is.

I do believe you mean a filibuster has different stages
From a inception of a filibuster, to "death by filibuster"

Because his last position agrees with yours, he "saw the light." The very existence of this article proves that a solid argument exists that the filibuster of nominees is constitutional. Even McCarthy can argue both sides of it.

Even Frist can take both sides of it.

And DiFi has taken both sides of it.

Hmmmm... Strange how so many now are certain that it is violative of the Constitution.

Hahahaha! I'm listening to Rush on WLS and they just had a commercial for "a very special conversation with Senator Barak Obama". Maybe you could call in and suggest that? LOL!!

No. They just widen the podiums for him. They did that in '94 in his debates against Romney. He's as bloated as the government.
