Too bad the Republicans did not have the guts to Bork each and every Clintler appointee.

The RATS have proven again that they are scheming liars, and we need to get this information out to GOP activists around the country.

Pickering. Owen. Estrada. Shedd. And dozens in limbo.

[rudypoot]

Tell me again why Trent Lott agreed to "share power" with these petty criminals?

[TLI]

"I am struck by the irony," Hatch said at the meeting, "that several members of this committee who support the rule-breaking removal of the Shedd nomination talk a good game about the importance of judges following the law and not ignoring it when it would suit them to do so. Today we learn that such talk is just talk."

Why, they are not lying, they are just communists,... err.. Democrats!

[PetroniDE]

It is a ******* outrage that it has even taken this long for Shedd to have a vote in the first place.

President Bush should RECESS APPOINT ALL NOMINEES that have waited six months or longer for hearings at the first opportunity after January 3, 2003. Time to play hardball with the commies.

[LiteKeeper]

bump to keep track of this issue

[ZULU]

Wasn'T Leahy a communist or socialist before he decided the DemocRATs were a better vehicle for his views?

Bush should simply stop nominating candidates to the federal courts until Congress hopefully changes composition or the DemocRATs see reason.

Thanks to the success of this behavior, we have that freal Souter on the Supreme Court.

[ladyinred]

This is getting more and more evil. The President must do the recess appointments, or we will never get any judges into place. The evidence that liberal judges are ignoring law and ruling in partisan political ways is mounting. This has gone on too long, and the White House must act when the Congress recesses.

"In my 48 years in the United States Senate, I have never been treated in such a manner," Thurmond read from a prepared statement. "You assured me on numerous occasions that Judge Shedd would get a vote, and that is all that I have ever asked of you. I have waited patiently for over 17 months, and I have extended every courtesy to you
Where is the headline:

Democrats lie to Senior Citizens!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Even Thurmond, the terribly frail 99-year-old Republican who once chaired the committee and made Shedd its chief counsel, made an appearance at the meeting to express his anger.

God Bless ol' Strom.

And may Leahy rot in H#!!.

[hgro]

Kwesi Mfume , a convicted felon.

[Quix]

HIDEOUS BOSTARDS

[nightdriver]

"On October 2, the Congressional Black Caucus sent a letter to Leahy repeating earlier charges that Shedd's record shows "a pattern of insensitivity toward the issues that most affect minorities."

Of course there aren't any specifics about just what constitutes "insensitivity," only the sound of liberals whining.

I've just re-read my copy of the Constitution and I have failed again to find anything in there about judges being required to be "sensitive."

[CaptRon]

Kwesi Mfume wrote Leahy a letter saying that "Judge Shedd's membership to [sic] the Fourth Circuit would further radicalize a court that has practiced judicial activism in a manner that hurts racial and ethnic minorities and disenfranchised Americans

And how would that be? By applying the law even handedly without bowing to special interests?

[Cicero]

Leahy can do this, of course, because the media will tolerate lies and corruption. News of this is appearing on National Review and a few other conservative sources. But the great unwashed public doesn't even know that there is a holdup on appointing judges, because the major media have never told them about it. At most, a few people have heard that there is some sort of partisan deadlock, probably because Bush is trying to appoint racist judges.

[pgkdan]

I am sick and tired of trying to work with these anti-American, obstructionist and petty sneaks. I wish President Bush would make a slew of recess appointments and be done with it.

My God...we need to take back the Senate.
