Senator Leahy is a bald faced "liar", a character assassinator, a smear monger, he is lower than any of the special interest activist groups that pull the strings of the Democratic party because he allows it. He and the other members of the Democratic House have taken up the cause of these "hate groups" instead of representing all of the American people.

What he says now:

Leahy: "I dont' look at judicial nominations through a political prism." Well that's his tale, I happen to sit on mine!

What he said just 5 years ago:

"Every Senator can vote against any nominee. Every Senator has the right...They can vote against them [in] this committee and on the floor. but it is the responsibility of the U.S. Senate to at least bring them to a vote." I also respectfully suggest that everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a shot, to have a hearing and to have a shot to be heard on the floor and have a vote on the floor."

This mans word is not worth the paper it is written on.

I Sick of Zell......he's all talk......Hey ZELL shut up or put up!

[SuziQ]

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, brushed off Miller's warning, saying, "I don't look at judicial nominations through a political prism."

The ability of this man to lie with a straight face is breathtaking! If he didn't look at judicial nominations through a political prism, Judge Pickering would be sitting on the 5th Circuit Court TODAY! Senator Depends just makes me SICK!

I hope the Dems get a REAL BIG paybak in November. I hope EVERY Repub. candidate for the Senate uses this incident like a sledgehammer against the Democrat opponent. It would be SO heavenly to wake up on Wed. after the election to see that the electorate was so pi$$ed at the Dems. that the Repubs. not only have a MAJORITY, they have a 2/3'sd majority in the Senate and a HUGE majority in the House! Hey, a girl can dream can't she?

I am Sick of Zell......he's all talk......Hey ZELL shut up or put up!

Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia warned fellow Democrats on Friday they may pay a political price in the South for preventing a Mississippi judge from getting a seat on a federal appeals court.

This is MORE than great coming from a Democrat!

[ArGee]

I don' know 'bout no payback from the Sout', but if'n I wuz Pres'dent there would surely be payback from the White House.

Shalom.

Zell, in your heart you know its right...just do it!...switch parties now...then you can go home to Young Harris, Ga. and not have to explain yourself to family and friends.

[linn37]

The eastern liberals don't like the south.He could care less what Zell Miller says.To Leahy Southerners are all backward rubes.

[Redcloak]

Let's all stare at Zell and start the chant...

Jump... Jump... Jump... Jump... Jump... Jump... Jump...

This is a disappointing to conservatives, but was to be expected. The Democrats will stop at nothing to pollute our system of government and tarnish the name of good people. They are nothing short of "sleeze" and as for Leahy, a sorry individual, pathetic at best, very desparate to cloud issues.

[davidosborne]

FORCE them to vote, knowing that AMERICA is watching.. so often we let them get away with things because they are counting on the fact that so many Americans THINK they are wasting their time...

We MUST not give up on this.... Keep the pressure on YOUR Senators to bring this vote to the FLOOR for a vote by the FULL senate !!!

DO NOT allow Sen. Leheay and his fellow LIBERALS on the Judiciary Committee to prevent this vote from going to the floor!!!

Advise and consent means 100 Senators not 10 !!!

Sign PETITION to SUPPORT Judge Pickering...

[nightdriver]

"Leahy said during 12 years on the federal bench, the judge often put his own beliefs above the law."

Of course Leahy NEVER does that, OOOOHHHHHH NNOOOOOOOO!! It's just that leaky Leahy's beliefs are different from Pickering's. Hypocritic goon!

[LaGrone]

If Zell's action was matched to his rhetoric, he would have switched parties long ago. I predict he will be a Demorat as long as he is in the Senate, all the while complaining about his fellow Rats. I am losing all respect for him.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, brushed off Miller's warning, saying, "I don't look at judicial nominations through a political prism."

Right. He doesn't look at them through a political prism, he looks at them through a political peep-hole -- and he shoots them down with a political laser.

This is Clinton's Legacy -- even awkward, hopelessly un-slick putzes like Leahy feel "empowered" to play the "what 'is' is" game.

Yo, Patso -- some folks should stick to the truth. You're no Clinton. You can lie, but not with aplomb. Frankly, you lie like a cheap rug. You make a good liar like Jack Webb would have made a good Disco King. If you had a dick, you'd be screaming in pain from having just stepped on it with both feet.

Contact your Senator about this Pickering Bickering mess.

[b4its2late]

Come on Zell. Jump to the RIGHT side of the aisle, will ya?
