They have 20% more funds, but we now have got the committee assignments which means WE move people forward.

Ever hear of Pickering? Well, he's going through the committee, even on a party-line vote, because we got one more vote than the Dems do on the Judiciary committee. Ditto for Priscilla Owen. Ditto for Miguel Estrada. Ditto for Sutton, Roberts, and others who have waited for two years for their nominations to be voted on in committee.

How much staff they have doesn't mean the stuff a dog leaves on the sidewalk. It comes down to the V-O-T-E-S in committee, which we have and they don't. It's about the C-H-A-I-R-M-A-N, who decides what the agenda is, and that is a Republican, not a RAT.

Those two matter far more than staff ratios.

Staff ratios? I didn't tune in today, but they obviously hooked you with a catch phrase. Dude, don't be such a sucker.

Think about this, though.

We only have a one-vote majority on the Judicial Committee.

And one of those votes is Arlen Specter.
