"The Dem's have nothing else to fight/stand for. How pathetic." Aye, they've *lost* everything else.
They've lost most state governorships, most state legislatures, most voter registrations, the House, the Senate, the Presidency...and now they are down to fighting for their last hope of holding onto some of their power: the SCOTUS.
And they've been distracted from this fight. They've been spending considerable time, money, and effort attacking President Bush (a man who can't even run for his Office again) instead of gearing up for the inevitable SCOTUS fights to come...so they are late to the dance even here.
Now they're attempting to shift from attacking President Bush daily to fighting the new SCOTUS nomination...when they have a mere 44% of the Senate and 0% of the White House.
Throw me into that briar patch!
Of course we want a fight. Let them go tooth and nail after GWB's nomination; let that nominee see firsthand why liberalism is to be despised.
...And after they lose this fight and go back to bashing Bush, we'll hit them with yet *another* fight for which they aren't prepared.
It's not like the Dems can resist the bait that we keep dangling in front of them, after all. They *must* attack GWB rather than concentrate on the real fights; it's in their very nature.

That would be a good way to handle him during the hearings. Every time he regains consciousness and start yelling about a nominees conviction against abortion just tell him "slow down Ted, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!"

Ted ("The Human Zipcode") Kennedy will certainly lead the charge against whomever the President nominates. However, unlike Reid's successful filibuster, Teddy will be up against the fact that several Democrat Senators are nervous about getting reelected in 2006.
So, Teddy's gonna finding himself leading too few lemmings over the cliff, or Buicks off the bridge, if you prefer. In short, he will be loud but irrelevant.

Anyone looking for a laugh at the Senior Senator's expense should check out Boston radio host Howie Carr's special website dedicated just to Ted:

Sigh. On behalf of Massachusetts residents, I apologize for our sad and sorry contributions to the Senate. And for Dukakis. And for the Big Dig. And for our loony, left-wing Supreme Judicial Court. And for...hey, I have to get up for work tomorrow. I could be here all night.

Once again, the democrats prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are above all, the Abortion Party. Thank you, Ann Coulter for naming the Beast.
They will uphold the "right" to kill the unborn over every other consideration no matter what. And Planned Parenthood, their vanguard in the trenches, will uphold the right to victimize 12, 13, and 14 yo female children by letting their rapists walk free while aborting the evidence of the crimes.

"It's amazing that there is already confirmation of opposition, without a nominee."
That's because it doesn't matter who Bush nominates. The Dems are going to try to get as much attention as they can by jumping up and down and screaming. Reminds me of a spoiled little brat, a brat that needs a good a$$ whooping.

Many lifelong Democrats, who are Catholic, are fed up. They see Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, Durbin, Mikulski etc. as Catholics for the camera only. I've heard many comment that Democrats stand for Hollywood, abortion, Special Interest Groups, higher taxes, and Union leaders not Union workers. They may not be ready to call themselves Republican or conservative but they are not going to back Democrats. The more Kennedy talks the more turned off they are.
My parents, who remained registered Democrats into their 80's, have switched parties. It's spreading everytime Teddy boy opens his mouth.

Let's play, "Spot the Grammar Moron"! Which was written by Newsmax, and which is correct?
1. As part and parcel of the compromise, ONLY members agreed that a filibuster would be used on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, in "extraordinary circumstances."
2. As part and parcel of the compromise, members ONLY agreed that a filibuster would be used on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, in "extraordinary circumstances."
3. As part and parcel of the compromise, members agreed that ONLY a filibuster would be used on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, in "extraordinary circumstances."
4. As part and parcel of the compromise, members agreed that a filibuster would ONLY be used on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, in "extraordinary circumstances."
5. As part and parcel of the compromise, members agreed that a filibuster would be used ONLY on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, in "extraordinary circumstances."
6. As part and parcel of the compromise, members agreed that a filibuster would be used on future judges, including Supreme Court nominees, ONLY in "extraordinary circumstances."
Interestingly, except for one of the above, each is correct, and has a different meaning. Newsmax used the only one that is just plain wrong.

One day that SOB is going to drop dead right on the Senate floor. I only pray he doesn't crush a Boy Scout troop on a tour of the building.
