FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

I make no promises.
But on Life the President is solid.
IF there were ever a time he would put his signiture to a VETO it would be on this Bill. If not now, he'll never do it.
Then it falls to the House to see if they can muster 2/3rd's they couldn't in the first vote. If not, it is dead.
We shall see .. it all comes down to trust
Something I don't have much faith in these days
Exactly. And I can flat guarantee you that there will be some sorry sum-biches if this has to happen.
I keep getting the vibes that this is going to come down very very well for the President.
(I've always been the optimistic type though... so I'm not a good one to poll)
I have no Trust in the Seven Dwarfs.
Nor will I praise them if they get religion and do the right thing.
Either way I want them gone.
Bolton vote is TOMORROW.
My daughter and son-in-law went to San Francisco to visit friends, and they kept wanting to go out and do things, but the friends said that with rent so high, they didn't DO things...the just looked at the view....
BTW, their apartment was like 600 sq ft which would be a closet in Texas!!!!
Hello Tomas. Are our military bases considered US soil? (That is a seruious question to you).
No, for American citizenship by birth, it is only required that the child have one US citizen parent. Now, this will really anger you because it makes me irate, but Mexicans, who illegally cross the border and give birth here on US soil... their babies are (gasp) American citizens!
Of course that same provsion applies to all foreigners who give birth here, legal and illegal.
Three of my g-children were born on Grand Cayman Island, sand they're all US citizens.
And you actually give any credence to Graham's words?
Well what about extraordinary circumstances, can't we just have 14 senators make an agreement that no one born in the Panama canal can be President?
Hey I'm just finding it hard to believe that one of my heros, had taken this path.
According to Graham: all of these nominees will be getting "back into the process" and he expects seven to be confirmed, with all of them getting an "up or down" vote on the floor.
kcvl ALWAYS comes thru. I think she's the best researcher on the whole of FR and we have some really fabulous researchers.
McCaine is an idiot, a traitor, and power hungry. Putting any trust in him, his buttboy Graham, or any of the other 7 Quislings, is patently ridiculous, totally without merit and sense.
opps, looks like you only have to be here 14 years.
I know that we are all still mad about this compromise and we still don't know how it is going to shake out...
It might not last until the end of this session if Rehnquist retires....LOL
BUT, let's all make a pact to make sure that the 7 dwarfs will be helped out the senate door...OK? At least it might make me feel better if we set our minds on that, instead of sitting around being mad...
I think people like Hugh Hewitt and Laura Ingraham will be with us...they both like George Allen, but I just heard Hugh Hewitt suggest John Thune for President....
President Bush's response to the deal:
"It's about time".
He wants his nominees voted on and isn't going to distract from that.
Though I agree these 7 will face some kind of political price down the road, he isn't going to do something at this time that removes focus from the judicial confirmations.
He wrote the agreement. I think he is an authority on its meaning.
LOL! Hi there.
I was born in SF, but I grew up on the Oakland side of the bay... my mother whisked me away as soon as I was old enough.
My fondest memory of San Francisco was driving across the Bay Bridge and getting caught in the middle of a Chinese New Years' parade. I got so lost I had to get back on the bridge, go back to Oakland, then turn around and try it again. Weird town.
I hope the Rats try to filibuster. It'll be the quickest proof that they are Rats....
and it will also show the RINOs in their pink underwear.
BTW... when I was an exchange student in Osaka, Japan, my host father got me sloshed on plum wine when we were out to dinner one night and I ended up singing "I left my heart in San Francisco" in front of the entire restaurant.
To this day I can't hear that song without thinking of that mortifying moment in my childhood.
I'll go to the wall with Tom DeLay and George Allen, the rest, well , we'll see!
