It's Priscilla Owen. Cantwell is so stupid that she can't even spell her name right.

Wasnm't Patti..it was the OTHER one from Washington..
To: Mo1
It was Maria Cantwell that Hillary! held the fundraiser for. The DC chapter freeped her, I remember because all Hillary! served was appetizers and cheap wine, and set up bathrooms in the back. The guests couldn't even go through her house!

IIRC Only until the next session. The president can give an appointee a new recess appointment if the Senate has not voted on him by the time his first recess appointment has run out.
To: VRWC_minion
I think he is using the judge issues as a method to divide and conquer the senate rats. I concur - think this was a well thoughtout strategy from the beginning. Think Estrada was sent up first as a wedge issue to turn the Hispanic vote (or at least a part of it) against the RATs. It could be happening if the callers on Rush today represent the sentiment of the Latio voters.
To: ken5050
Sen Frist is up to something is right -- no way are they giving in especially since Cantwell just went after Pickering and Owens. I don't care if nothing gets passed until this nomination of Estrada is allowed a vote. Besides if they cannot vote, they cannot spend our money!
I want to hang the RATs out to dry for 2004!

I just called Hatch's office also, as well as Bob Bennett's office and Bill Frist.
To: PhiKapMom
Cantwell reading polls. Interesting. She and others are sounding less and less confidant and more and more shrill and tentative.
I hope the R's can pick up the same signs of wavering that I am observing. If they fold too quit they could be folding right before the rats cave.

The more I think about it .. I think the DC Chapter Freep her house that night
Hey FreeTheHostages .. do you remember if the DC Chapter Freeped Hillary's house the night of Maria Cantwell's fundraiser awhile back?

Has anybody seen any polling numbers on the reaction to the filibuster?
To: VRWC_minion
Then the GOP should run ads of the NARAL dinner where Kate Michaelman said that she expects every Dem senator will filabuster ....that comment will come back to haunt them
To: hoosiermama
I am not sure on judges if it that or not. Personally I say stand and fight! Might as well because we will not get another judge confirmed if we don't win this one!

because everyone knows that liberals only support killing babies. None else.
NO MS. Cantwell you are alarming. She's bought and paid for by the Clinton/Clinton/Mcauliffe machine.
Being in financial straights, who rides to her defence? Hillary Clinton. That has to cost a lot.
How can this woman speak of privacy when she wants private writings released?
They are a walking contradiction.

Re: Poll
I haven't, but we may know by next week.
To: maica
Yeah and I wish that the Catholic president wanna be's would get a letter from the Pope informing them that they've been ex-communicated for their murderous views. Oh yeah, and they need to cc that letter to Gray-out Davis too.

I am with you -- I think their voices have changed -- all we need to do is hang in there some more. Their poll numbers cannot be good in the Hispanic Community. Whoever thought I would be on the side of LULAC? Certainly not me!
