Senator Feinstein to Vote No on Cloture for the Nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today announced that she will vote no on cloture regarding the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
“Based on a very long and thoughtful analysis of the record and transcript, which I tried to indicate in my floor statement yesterday, I’ve decided that I will vote no on cloture.”
"I know I saw that somewhere...and I was just laughing..but, I wonder if some of these dems are waiting for rigged up poll results."
The Times will probably produce a poll.
He had said earlier this week he would vote yes for Alito. Now apparently he's not sure.
REID AND FEINGOLD will both Support Filibuster according to the Dark Forces just now.
Feh! And to think that as a lowly 'Frisco supervisor she got catapaulted onto the national stage by a Twinkie-crazed ex-cop/fireman!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Love that tagline. ;OD
Thanks,I still worry:)
Exactly. I am not sure why people are getting all worked up. Kerry is playing the Koz Kidz and DUmmies like the fools they are. I like it because it will make the vote for Alito on Tuesday that much of a bigger victory for Bush. I think Kerry is on Rove's payroll.
It goes way beyond not subscribing to the NYT. It's all the other smaller city newspapers, such as mine: San Antonio Express News, who use the NYT, WP & LAT as their national and international news sources, and throw the Associated Press into the mix as well. It's far more insidious than not buying a NYT newspaper. Just look at the source of every news article you read to see how bad it is in the print media.
Now Her Shrillness is on board the filibuster bandwagon.
George Allen is on hannity discussing this now
I doubt it. Why do we suddenly believe what we read on the DU?
By the way, the DUers have been phoning Senators all week, and probably annoying the Hell out of most of them.
Okay. I didn't think the individual was saying that Frist should go nuclear unless a filibuster was undertaken. I may have been mistaken.
At any rate, I very much doubt that Frist is going to even think about using a nuclear option unless the Dims start a filibuster.
I'm just a little sceptical of DU to get something right.
New Jersey is Liberal Dem, but once in a while they get fed up with it and vote contrarian.
Philadephia. right next to New Jersey. is the home of the Third Circuit where Alito serves, and Alito was born and raised in New Jersey. Therefore, Menendez would be voting against pretty much a homegrown, hometown boy.
But as much of a snake as he is, I don't think that would stop him. What good is it to get to the Senate, only to be ostracized and kept off of good committee assignments, etc., because you are a Dem voting for Alito?
I don't count on Menendez. I saw him operate in the House and thought he was despicable.
This is probably the only time that some hre on FR and Moveon.org would be in agreement on something...BRING ON THE NUKES! THEN WE'LL HAVE 3 years (and possibly many more) to STUFF the courts, baby!...And rightfully blame it on the Dems for starting the NUKE WAR in the first place.
Why are they coming out saying this
Non of these Senators are part of the Gang of 14
It doesn't matter how Clinton, Dodd, Reid or Fienstein vote
With the exception of selective foreign policy stances, e.g. Israel, Castro, etc., he has almost no redeeming virtues.
The guy is a schmuck.
Perhaps not quite as bad as Lousenberg, or Toricelli, but it's only a difference of degree.
