Good morning, fellow political junkies. I'm starting the thread early, because I'll be out and about for much of the morning. Follow along, and comment here, as usual..

Another nail in the last bastion of leftist power, the judiciary.

That's just so typical for Sheets...to support Owen (white female) and oppose Brown (black female), BTW didn't he also oppose Thurgood Marshall? Yep. I guess those old Klan habits are hard to break.

You know, they just got done saying Janice Rogers Brown's nomination would be the end of western civilization as we know it.

How can they say that any future nominee falls under "extraordinary circumstances"?

Likely the Senator from Hawaii!

[traderrob6]

who abstained?

[AMDG]

Pryor Cloture vote now - up or down vote for tomorrow if cloture invoked

[Txsleuth]

I was with my Chase gr-daughter---did Obama vote yes or no?

[Lancey Howard]

Wow!
Frist shot right in there and said "Good, it's about time, and now onto Prior."
He looks like a man in charge.

[tiredoflaundry]

[AliVeritas]

[hipaatwo]

[RoseofTexas]

Daniel Inouye from Hawaii has been out sick for a while.

[AliVeritas]

LOL

[tiredoflaundry]

osama obama was a No

[colorado tanker]

Salazar was such a big mistake. He's going to play the Daschle game and be a Washington liberal and Colorado moderate. But six years from now no one will remember this vote, except guys like us.
