Sen. Hatch:
"Why is it that they're not being fair to the President's nominee?"
"I'm calling on my colleagues on the other side and to realize that this is dangerous stuff that they're playing with here."
"Advise and consent doesn't mean advise and obstruct."
"If they succeed in this they will have established an un-Constitutional precident."
"It's taking away a great deal of the President's power."
"That's really going to cause problems around here like we've never even dreamed of before."
It's unfair to Miguel Estrada, unfair to the President who nominated him, unfair to the Republican party.."
"It's taking away a great deal of the President's power."That's today's Dem. Senate.
Boo.....they said the Senator from Minnesota was going to speak - I was expecting Norm Coleman!
Instead there's Mark Dayton :-(
There were some committee fights after the Repubs took to Dems to the cleaners this last election. It must be intertwined with this somehow. Anyone know if it was a Judiciary Committee fight??
You know, I wonder if Senator Hatch is going to start cussing soon. He looks furious.
