"I've just decided that instead of filibusters of judicial nominees, hunger strikes should be required instead!"

--- Unfort it probably wouldn't work. The Dhimmicrats would just do like Jesse Jackson did when he went on a 'hunger strike' -- when he got hungry, say that someone else was doing the strike for him while he ate dinner.

Somehow when I see the loved ones of those killed in battle holding the American flag to their breasts...I have to say to myself:

"Who the H___ cares about those prisoners at Gitmo? Let them starve one by one by one." That's less we have to deal with. It's THEIR choice. Choice...the BIG WORD, remember?

Sounds like exactly what the Israelis did when some of their prisoners went on a hunger strike. Of course, Durbin and Kennedy might consider that torture.

That's exactly what the Israelis did when the Hamas, Fatah, etc. goons who were guests of the state went on a hunger strike. It worked, and terrorist leader and big talker/no action Marwan Barghouti was filmed eating surreptitiously in his cell.

180??

Well good for them.

Hope they set trays of nice aromatic food in the hallways and let it waft into their cells.

Starve yourselves all you want.

It's all due to the expensive trip congress to add more fuel to the fire that wasn't there until the DEMs created another so called mistreatment of the terrorist.

Awww! I'm really upset about the hunger strike! NOT! Sounds like the U.S. taxpayer will save some money as long the the thugs in captivity don't eat.
