Everytime someone thinks that this Republican Senate is going to fold, you are going to hear from me.

Senator Frist is in charge and is prepared to continue this as long as it takes. In order to help Republicans in the Senate, we need to give them our support -- call, fax, phone with that support and tell them to keep going until Estrada is on the Bench!

On the other hand, call your DemocRAT Senators and tell them to vote for cloture. We have the votes to pass the nomination and we need only a few more DemocRAT votes to invoke cloture. Let's see if we can help flip some of these RATs. They don't have to vote for Estrada -- just vote to end the filibuster.

If you all remember during the Ashcroft hearings, Senator Feingold (D-WI) did the honorable thing and voted to allow the Ashcroft nomination to go the floor of the Senate even though he had not plans to vote for him.

Now no more "Republicans are going to cave on here" -- time to give the Republican Senators and Miguel Estrada our support. We cannot lose this nomination because we have a SCOTUS nomination probably in the near future. We need to show we can WIN!

I propose a strategy. They all seem to be saying they need answers to questions. What about a motion that calls for a question and answer period with reasonable restrictions Estrada followed by a vote.

The rats may be painting themselves into a corner.

Good for you, nice to hear there are so many that are NOT as 'skeptical' as I am. I have done what I can, emailed, called (hard to get through), and finally, I just spent $15.00 faxing 20 gimmies with a protest. We need to win this one......BIG TIME!
