I just sent her a fax thanking her for allowing the full Senate to vote and hoping that she will continue to support the nomination. It would be great to see this move forward!

“Every now and then, Feinstein will exhibit some reason. Shes not as moonbatty as Boxer is.”
Especially if you illegally got your husband military contracts and the inquisition of the AG by the left isn’t panning out the way you expected it to.

The decision inflamed liberal activists for its pointed use of the word homosexual instead of gay.
It doesn’t take much to get these people mad.
What happens when you call them sodomites?

Don't think for a second that Feinstein exhibited a brief flash of lucidity. There were gears turning behind the scenes in this den of poltroons. The RINO contingent probably agreed to cave on another issue that's simmering on the back burner, in exchange for her vote. That's why Congress has been a pool of stagnant water for decades.

I think this was a move purely to avoid energizing the GOP base. It was possibly made in consultation with the Clintons. It also could have been that she was in fact chosen by the Dims in the Senate as the committee member who could most afford this vote.

Nice touch of you to do so.
I don’t know what has got into her lately, but one hopes that maybe she will be encouraged enough to actually seek even more praise from us.
To: JLS
She’s minding her P’s and Q’s in hopes of staying out of the pokey for enriching herself with military contracts.

Whatever her reason for this vote, it is a safe bet that it is self-serving. Principles didn’t come into it.

I suspect she’s trying not to get her house raided like Stevens, with FBI looking for stuff on the military construction contracts.

The Democrats obstructionism is a disgrace and is an example of politics at its worst, said Giuliani in a statement on Democratic opposition to Southwick. Our courts should not be compromised because of partisans who are forgoing their Constitutional responsibilities in order to pursue a political agenda. I am sorry to all Freepers, but this as close to what I would say as any candidate got.

" Somebodys got the goods on Feinstein."Or promised her something.
To: LdSentinal
Over the past several weeks, senior Republican members of the Senate Appropriations Committee have put pressure on Feinstein... Wow, this is a tough one. Not! Appropriations? Think about it. It's simple vote-trading, probably to funnel more federal money into her husband's CA businesses. At the extreme, maybe she's playing nice to avoid some awkward ethics quesions on the same subject.
