Schumer (D-NY) on C-SPAN2 NOW! (The Filibuster Against Estrada Has Begun)

CSPAN2 ^

[Recovering_Democrat]

Charles Schumer is rambling idiocy now about how ideology MUST be used in determining judges. Schumer laughably calls himself a moderate.

[HitmanLV]

The fact that the fools in ny elected this guy over Fonzie a few years ago makes me so happy I ditched the empire state a year ago!

[The Wizard]

as a former NYer I can confirm that chucky cheese is an asshole who only won because the democrats who stole the elction for him and the beast were in charge

[The Vast Right Wing]

Are we making the Dem's actually speak and filibuster? Let it go on for weeks, months, years, but don't give in. Make the 'Rats explain why they are filibustering this nominee when the country is on the brink of war. Make the 'Rats explain why the Senate can not take up the issue of war with Iraq while they are filibustering.

[hapy]

are the children are acting up again
yawn

Rats are so predictable. They cant' win an election and they cant shutup

[LS]

Really. If the moronic Dems think they can get traction by FILIBUSTERING A HISPANIC nominee during wartime, go for it. We'll gladly accept a 66-34 Senate in 2004, too.

[Republic]

These people are so desparate. I pity um...poor chuckie, upstaged by a genuinely bad person, the, oh gag me, junior senator, and now having to smear a good, good man because the democrats have such a fear of what the future Supreme Ct may look like, they cannot control their own penchant to ruin good lives. Let um try. They just don't know how badly they are going to be exposed with this cruel effort.

[Recovering_Democrat]

SCHUMER JUST QUOTED ANN COULTER!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[Huck]

I agree completely. Let em talk.

[The Vast Right Wing]

...Pretty Pretty Pretty, oh those whereas clauses are Pretty...

[BonnieJ]

It's tiresome the way they use the words "moderate" and "mainstream" in every situation, as if they had any idea of what those actually mean in America!

[Recovering_Democrat]

PETE DOMENICI just took to the floor and said he now knows Schumer intends to FILIBUSTER, hold up for TWO WEEKS, a vote on Mr. Estrada.

[CasearianDaoist]

Watch Guilliani take his seat in '04.

[William McKinley]

Fie on whereas clauses! Fie on filibusters! Fie on Democrats!

[Wphile]

Schumer is so out to lunch thinking he is a moderate! Ha! Nothing could be further from the truth. Come on Chuckie...what's the deal? Are you afraid to say your a left wing liberal?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Pete Domenici: "Imagine if there were a candidate named "Espinoza" that the Republicans were opposing! What would the Democrat Party senators be saying?? They'd be saying we were racists!!"

[gov_bean_ counter]

This is a trial balloon, not really born of conviction. It will end as soon as the overnight push polls expose this strategy as a loser.

[JimVT]

Typical Democrat obfuscation:

Schumer says: "The disabled community was up in arms about......" some judge.

What the heck is a disabled community?

More demo jargon for minority pockets.

Jeez....Sen. Schemer...us Irish don't want no Hispanics on the Court. How 'bout looking out for us spuds.

[Political Junkie Too]

We'll gladly accept a 66-34 Senate in 2004, too.

Maybe they'll then filibuster for another 51-49 split in the money.

I got out of NY nearly 7 years ago and it would take an act of God to ever get me to live there again.

I love North Carolina!
