Democrats Still holding up GWs' Judicial appointments
Regain The Majority Now ^
| Now
| Senator Bill First
Posted on 06/12/2002 1:00:57 PM PDT by OPS4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has thus far nominated 102 people for seats on the federal trial and appellate courts. (P)
WHEREAS, The Democratic-controlled Senate has only confirmed 57 - nine of whom were circuit court nominees- and rejected one. (P)
WHEREAS, 88 vacancies now exist on federal courts, and 45 nominees pend before the Senate - 20 are considered judicial emergencies by the Justice Department. (P)
WHEREAS, The pace of judicial attrition is actually faster than the pace of the Senate confirmation process. (P)
WHEREAS, Only 3 of the first 11 nominees Bush selected more than a year ago have had a Senate hearing. (P)
THEREFORE, I'm asking the Senate to fulfill one of its most important duties and give a prompt hearing and vote for every person nominated to serve on the Federal Judiciary. Please click the link or cut and past it will take you to the petition. (P)

Well duh! So the pubbies sit around for 4 yrs crying about it. Do you see really any ACTION from pubbies? (The normal sheeples answer - if only we held the WH, we would have the bully pulpit, if only we had with it one house of Congress, if only, if only, if only...) I'm sick of the "Two-Party Cartel".

Vote in Giddy Dolt now and the flowers will smell better, the children will be laughing, and we'll have all the conservative judges we can shake a stick at!!
Oh yeah, almost forgot, we'll have no guns, probably a Constitutional Amendment presented for abortion on demand, half the tobacco farmers out of business here in NC, and so many seat restraints on automobile seats you'll have to leave 30 minutes earlier because it will take you that long to get out of the car!!
But it's a good idea to vote in RINOs to win back the Senate < /sarcasm>

Is this in reference to Elizabeth Dole??? Abortion on demand?? She is a pro-life candidate. She wants to ban all guns?? These are the type of extreme statements that cause conservatives to lose credibility. Elizabeth Dole will have about an 85% ACU voting record when she is in the Senate. Jesse Helms would not endorse her if she was not conservative. I have respect for Jesse Helms and his endorsements.

And soon, two of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices will be leaving.

Can't be. Trent Lott was real angry and was going to put his foot down.

Not before November, I'll bet!

Me also, but we are stuck with it because no one will join in the fight to form a Conservative Party to combat the socialist demowits and the newly formed liberal republican party of GWB. Bush is now as liberal as Algore in my book with all his spending and supporting of socialist agenda. We need a TRUE Conservative Party. True to conservatives and conservative values without all the giving in to the socialists as GW has done.

Just curious... Who would you select to lead/head that TRUE Conservative Party?

Nothing new! Remember how FDR tried to "pack" the Suprime Court?
To rule against the will of the people the Dems can't get what they want at the ballot box. So, they manipulate the courts!

How do you propose to get judges through without the Republicans having control of the Senate?

The Republicans MUST take over the Senate and the Committee chairs in November. I'd like to see that present Judicial Committee buried so deap they would never surface again. What a bunch of traitorous hypocrites!

How about:
buried so deep ... they stink up China!

To: Bogie
Take back the Senate and support consitutionalists as federal count judges. This is the ONLY way to save our Republic. If you don't think that your support and vote matters in the mid-term elections, just look at our federal courts. We either fight at the ballot box, or we fight in the streets.
