Yeppers...they want to get more cases under O'Connor...but, it isn't gonna happen...
Frist said yesterday...it is NOT going to be postponed.
I like how Leahy keeps saying this is the THIRD nominee for this seat (because Roberts was originally the nominee for this seat).
Democrats will of course put it over a week. They say they will be nice, get a month delay from december, get another week delay at the 1st of january, act all lovey-dovey, and then when it's time to live up to their end of the bargain they renege on the deal.
They did this with the Roberts hearing.
Leahy says this is becauase they are all doing this because of Martin Luther King day, as if that is some sort of surprise that popped up at the last minute that they couldn't expect.
I don't know why Specter doesn't say "let's just have the hearing on next THURSDAY then, so you can have your weekend."
Specter should fault Leahy for not being able to control his own caucus.
