Funny how Hillary never had a problem with changing the Constitution when
she and Al Gore called for the abolition of the Electoral College --
in those election years when it would serve their interests.

Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, on Monday, the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Priscilla Owen to serve as a circuit judge on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Monday will be the fourth consecutive day the Senate considers the Owen nomination.
Over the past 3 days, a number of Members, on both sides of the aisle, have come to the floor to speak on the nomination. We have conducted over 25 hours of debate, and we will continue on Monday. Moments ago, we filed a cloture motion on the nomination, and that will ripen on Tuesday of next week.
On behalf of the majority leader, I remind my colleagues the leader has announced our next rollcall vote will occur Monday afternoon at 5:30. That vote will be on a motion to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request Senators' attendance. Senator Frist will have more to say about next week's session on Monday.
See ... I told ya she would be up just in time
In his first term, her husband, who was elected with 42% of the vote, got 97% of his nominations passed by a GOP senate..go figure..
Darn, I always miss the good stuff. I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys. Great posts everybody!
my c-span isn't showing this............sigh....
Uh -- oh ... her volume is increasing...If she starts shrieking, this could be a *Golden Mike* Rush segment .. here we go .. up the decibels.
A right wing conspiracy?
Watch Hillary dig another hole. She is one of the poorest speakers ever bantered about as a potential nominee for president in the modern era. Nor is she likeable.
Hillary!: "Human nature being what it is, we have to restrain ourselves." LOLOLOL. How's Bill doing with that.
She has had dental work that is making her mouth go all funny when she talks.
Well we know one thing..... she's against the concept of Queen Hillary.
Whood a thunkit?
watch online, that's what i am doing, the kids have God knows what on in the other room.
Even money she runs over, asks for additonal time, just to P.O. Frist..whre is a "supermajority " in the Constitution?
UNLIMITED DEBATE???????
She commented on an effort to make George Washington a King....she would like that also...I am sure....
ummm... madam beast... the constitution doesn't require a super majority on judges.
"Why would you have a super majority for judges" ask HRC, and states that it has worked weill. LYING HISTORY.
