The Democrats led by the vile Ted Kennedy made nominations into a dirty. game.

Obama will pick a young black female nominee........

Or a Muslim. I’m serious.

[fhayek]

NOW he cares about Senate procedures?

What goes around comes around.

[AFreeBird]

Like the rules matter any more to the denizens of DC.

[newfreep]

watch for Corker and CanuckTed will take care of that cloture thing...again.

LOL!

Yes, I don’t believe McConnell for even a second.

Maybe I will be surprised, but I doubt it.

[Nik Naym]

Your words are spot on, Sir, spot on.

-- Does "Borking" count as a filibuster? --

I'd say no, Bork was knocked out of contention in committee. Others would say that counts as a filibuster. All depends on how one defines "filibuster."

And hopefully the dead Fat Teddy Kennedy (who was instrumental in that travesty) is still slowly turning on a spit over the hottest flame in Hell as Robert Bork is even now, still rejoicing in the Presence of God.

Absolutely right. If we block this nomination Jeb won’t be elected. Don’t worry the GOP knows what it’s doing.

“Mitch is uniparty, and on our side it is the party of the cavers.”

You mean the party of the cadavers. Yes, I’m that cynical.

[elcid1970]

“..Bork was voted down, but he did get a confirmation vote in the full Senate.”

And such was the nation’s enormous loss. Teddy the Swimmer is feeling his reward, even as we speak.

Why her?

39 will cave in 3, 2, ...

[gg188]

Repubs will cave like a cheap suitcase.

[gg188]

And while Cruzers know nothing, care to know nothing, don’t want to learn anything about “fast track” or for that matter TPP, this is a SERIOUSLY BAD ISSUE, equal at least to the disaster that NAFTA has been. Heidi spoke in support of fast track authority this week, naturally. We’re screwed unless conservatives get EDUCATED to GLOBALISM-—which is the threat of the 21st century that communism was in the 20th century.

0bama/Hillary/Bernie gets a 5-4 rubber stamp brigade and it might not matter if any Republican holds office again.
