JRB is my pick too for the next appointment. IMO The "Rats" wouldn't dare treat her the way they did ALito!

Sounds to me as though Byrd has just claimed "Independence" from the Liberal interest groups.

Byrd was careful to express that his independence is limited to Supreme Court nomination.

Specter on the floor, acting as leader and asking for unanimous consent to proceed to the vote.

There is no "speak or vote" rule - it takes UC or cloture to proceed to the vote.

ROFL! Oprah fan, huh?

Now that you mention it, I believe she is. At first I thought you meant me, and I was going to take umbrage!

Specter says there are no Democrat speakers tomorrow. Asking for a vote now, but will wait for the Dems. He's basically saying, if there's no debate anymore than why not vote.
