LIVE Senate Thread: Judge Janice Rogers Brown CONFIRMED!!! (FINAL TALLY: AYES 56, NAYS 43)

I love all three, Owen, Brown and Pryor. I can't wait until Pryor is confirmed.

The more Democrats attacked Brown, the more I liked her. She was called an "extremist" so many times, that the word lost its force. She seems to be judicious in her court opinions, so she could only be attacked by misrepresenting her opinions.

On a more personal level, her private thought process is almost identical to mind.

It's about time she got confirmed. Who's next up?

I can't wait till Pryors confirmed either

Because a certain person in our state is going to be put on the spot for his opposition to the old judge.

But seriously, Pryor is a good man, and he'll make a fine Supreme Court Justice one day.

You know, sometimes I wonder about our enemies' brain power. They really aren't that smart, are they? Bolton is a damn UN nominee. Do I want him in? Yeah, of course. But would I rather have judges? You betcha. We'll STILL get Bolton, but only after the battlefield is littered with the bodies of the Dems on these judges.

I shouldn't have said it's "not good". I meant not surprising or an increase over previous cloture votes.

I concur with a couple other posters who think the dems are flexing to deny cloture on some nominees not specifically agreed to in the deal, so that's why I kicked off my comments you objected to in the manner I did.

And then the option will be on the table.

Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

She should be nominated to the SC.

All that happened in the "deal" is that the minority party has a way to continue to filibuster if they choose.

Just like they did before this deal.

Nothing has changed, except now two judges have been confirmed.

anything else gonna happen in the senate today? CSPAN didn't cut away from the quorum call yet, and they're usually quick to do so.

Dems are screaming for people to hit the polls about Dean on Lou Dobbs...feel free freepers.

Roll call vote finally up:

Jumping Jim Jeffords was the Senator not voting. I thought it was the ailing Inouye.

Good point. You know the value of common sense and pragmatism.

Don't know Levin is shredding Dean, I am going to go swimming and eat pizza!

Peep Prep
Have you ever wondered which came first, the marshmallow or the Peep? Well, we've got the answer. Follow along on our tour of the Just Born, Inc., candy plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and you'll know a lot more about those cute little chick and bunny peeps that show up in your Easter basket every year.

1. Mixing and Whipping

A mixture of marshmallow, sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and a few other special ingredients are whipped into a marshmallowy goo that will become the shaped candy figures.

2. Coloring the Sugar

All sugar starts out white. Since yellow Peeps were being made the day we visited, yellow food coloring was added through that little arm outside the barrel. The barrel rotates like a cement mixer to color all the sugar.

3. Spreading the Sugar

Sugar is loaded into a spreader (the gray piece in the background) by hand. The spreader distributes the sugar all across the conveyor belt that the candy will ride during production.

Fun Fact
Just Born, Inc., produces 1.2 billion marshmallow goodies each year for all occasions -- that's a heap of Peeps. Chicks and bunnies are the most popular shapes and are made year-round at the plant.

Peep Population
4. Peeps Are Made
No photos are allowed of the machinery that actually pumps the marshmallow into the right shape. That's top secret. We can tell you that it's basically the same technology that was developed in the 1950s by the Just Born company.

5. Bring on the Breeze

Naked Peeps make their way along the conveyor belt (yes, they travel backward the whole way!) toward the wind tunnel. This is where air will whip the sugar around so that it sticks evenly to the warm, wet marshmallow.

6. Recycling the Sugar

The sugar-coated candies slide off a solid conveyor belt on to a grated one that lets extra sugar fall through. That sugar will be reused.

Fun Fact
In 1953, Peeps were made by hand with a pastry tube. Making one Peep took about 27 hours. Today, Peeps can be made in just six minutes.

Peep Packaging
7. The Eyes Have It

This machine gives the Peeps their peepers, which are actually tiny dots of an edible wax. The machine can pump out 3,800 eyes per minute.

8. Hop in the Box

The final stage of the conveyor takes the candies through a very cold area so they can firm up enough to easily frop off the conveyor belt and into boxes. As you can see, chicks stick together five at a time. When it comes to bunnies, it's four per box.

9. It's a Wrap

The next stop for the boxes of candy is a wrapping station. Boxes are sealed with plastic wrap, either individually, two at a time, or three at a time.

Fun Fact
Peeps chicks come in five colors, listed here in order of popularity: yellow, pink, lavender, blue, and white.

Peeps Hit the Road
10. Ready to Ship

Finally, the packaged chicks are placed in cardboard boxes for shipping. Peeps are sold in 30 countries around the world.

Fun Fact
Just Born is named for Sam Born, who grew up in Russia and came to America in 1910. He started his business with a small candy shop in New York City. The company's headquarters has been in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, since 1932.

City Pulse (Lansing) ^ | June 8, 2005 | Andrew Engel
A protest organized June 1 by MoveOn, a liberal political action committee, drew about 20 people to the Michigan Avenue office of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton. Demonstrators protested Rogers’ ties to embattled House Majority Leader Tom Delay. There was only one problem: They had the wrong Mike Rogers. Whoops.

Maybe some day the senators will wake up and see that C-SPAN is showing the senators spots and the voters will remember all of the wasted time and money. I just wish that they would originate not imitate
