Sen. Boxer Calls Nomination of Supreme Court Justice " an Extraordinary Circumstance"

Fox News

[fedupjohn]

Senator Barbara Boxer appearing on Fox News this afternoon was asked about the 'Gang of Seven' deal not to Filibuster nominees unless it is Extra-ordinary circumstances; declared that "with the right to privacy and Roe v Wade on the table this is an Extra-ordinary circumstance and the Filibuster is on the table".

Well people they just moved the goal posts.

The day after the nomination confirmation vote:

W: "Hey Babs - you might want to put some ice on that."

[1Old Pro]

or was he overheard saying the same on the train?

The libs are prepared for WAR. To expect anything less is silly.

[chesley]

damn! I hope you're right. I've had it with the 'Rats and their lies and evasions and dirty tricks.

[Elpasser]

How the heck does Boxer know what an "extraordinary circumstance" is? She's not even a part of the group of 14 senators that drafted the language!!

For who...the liberal loons who are and continuing to destroy America and her values. 80% of level minded thinking Americans want the courts to stop making laws that continue to destroy all our value systems. The list goes on...one day OUR LORD will step in and stop it...and we'll say: HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN...

I guess she wasn't talking about private property... :\

This Donk bullshit is all designed to get GWBush to name a damn moderate/liberal to the Supreme Court so that Senators can avoid a nasty fight. Republican Senators are too cowardly to mix it up with the Barbra Boxer types and the Donks in general.

DONK strategy is to hold out and obstruct the Bush Judicial appointments until Hillary gets the White House.

Boxer wasn't part of the group that forged the filibuster compromise. She can have her opinion, but it is by no means that of Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, et al. So this in no way means that the original compromisors will participate in a filibuster.

Barbara Boxer has to be the most annoying person in the world inch for inch.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

This makes me feel better. The lady may be worth fighting over then.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Guess I've been reading the wrong newspapers.

[jamz]

Was Boxer part of that 14 Senator coalition? If not...what the hell do we care what that b1tch thinks?

[ImAmerican]

Has someone been nominated?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Even a blind cat catches a rat once in a while.... ;^)

and there are plenty of stinky Rats around!


(thanks and ditto)

I don't think either Boxer or other senate Dems believe they can win this one. She's just playing to the kook base, whose only concern is to oppose anything/everything Bush puts forward.

[Saundra Duffy]

If they filibuster, Frist will pull the trigger.

No, he won't. No guts.

[newcthem]

IMHO this is not a surprise, this is not breaking news, and no Frist will not "pull the trigger" As my old man would say........Frist is not only not in the game, he doesn't even know the ball is pumped up!!

[steveegg]

Guess I've been reading the wrong newspapers.

I picked the wrong week to start reading newspapers.

[Heartofsong83]

She was never part of that group of 14 anyway...she'd filibuster even a moderate nomination...

[LurkedLongEnough]

There's only one answer: Hillary is the nominee.
