OK FReeps!! It's time for US to go NUCLEAR!!!! Chose a state close by and help the pubs vote out the traitors on the next elections!!!! I pick AZ because it's close by TEXAS and I despise McVAIN!! WE MUST HELP OUR FELLOW PUBS ANYWAY WE CAN to vote out the TRAITORS!! We need to commit not only money wise but feet wise too!!
Good point I will send Rick some money!
Nope, only the RINO 7 promised that. That means that they can defeat the efforts of the rest of the Pubs, but if they get scorched by the Rats, they just might join the majority.
Plus, they would look REALLY stupid if the 7 Rats cross them which would make me happy.
We can only expect up-or-down votes. There's never been an expectation that all would be confirmed, though you'd hope so since we're in the majority.
He voted yes then flip flopped and voted no so did Biden and Kennedy!
are they in recess now?
Yes. Reccess till 2:15 PM EST.
Rush is moderating his opinion somewhat. Reads a note from Frist's office that he will pursue an up-or-down votes on ALL judges and that the nuclear option is still on the table.
I have violently resisted any urge to yell about Frist! I am staying in his corner, until the bitter end. I think he deserves it for now! I love Rick and George Allen!
No they won't. They've already said, in effect, that the "nuclear option" is unthinkable. That's why they did their treachery yesterday. (OF course they also knew there would be plenty of Republicans who would make excuses for them - like you?)
Why ... Reid has agreed to let 3 judges go ... the fireworks don't start until after that.
Reading the MOU, it appears that three nominees will get cloture, two won't, and beyond that who knows -- especially regarding SCOTUS nominees.
I am Indiana, and within rock throwing distance of Ohio! Look out DeWhiner!
I know exactly what you mean.
I talk and yell at my computer screen all the time. They will look at me with raised eyebrows or worried looks on their faces, I'm sure they are thinking, my wife/mother has lost her mind. lolol
Yep until 2:15 eastern!
Good for you!!
any SCOTUS nominee who would vote to toss Roe v Wade - will automatically activate the "extradordinary circumstances" concept. what happens to these 3 judges that pass, and the ones that don't, is damn near meaningless. will the Rs on the compromise team change their minds when they see a SCOTUS nominee being blocked? You would suspect that would have come up in the discussions on this deal. It surely did, and you can be sure that the Dems have it in their back pocket - none of these 7 will peel off when the battle for the SCOTUS is at hand. It may not happen with Rehnquist's seat, because replacing him with a conservative is an "even trade". Try and replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Owens or Brown, and watch what happens.
