I really think it would be a mistake to appoint Estrada as a recess appointment.Now President might make some other recess appointments. I have noticed mainstream news is not paying much attention to the fillibuster so I am not sure the Dems are gaining much from the filibuster. The longer it goes on the more obstructionist and stupid they look.Not that they would have to go far or do much to accomplish that feat.

The dems are not gaining anything from the filibuster. Actually, from the Hispanic people who called Rush today, the Hispanic community is totally put out over the way the dems are handling Estrada.

Frist may have some indication that the fight is already over because a lot of dems are going to be jumping ship. I'd hold my opinion until we find out what Frist is up to.

Frist may be wanting members to go home and deal with the onslaught of Hispanic voters' telephone calls; and they may just change their minds on how they should vote - especially those members who are coming up for reelection.

Well, the mainstream media isn't going to focus on anything that makes the dems look bad...

But if it were Pubbies filibustering a Dem Hispanic judge, it would be wall-towall coverage. Dems know they can get away with this because with no coverage it's like committing a crime when the lights are out.

You are correct, this must go on and on! The end result is what I said on another thread!

Estrada gets in and the rats will be known as the racist! Well I said more but the threads up to 600 posts and I will look for it.

THIS IS THE OUT COME ON THIS MATTER

1. Estrada is going to be voted in

2. democrats are going to be forever known as the party that shut down the govt at a time of war

3. democrats are going to be known as racist over this matter...........

THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE......as long as the GOP does not cave and gets the message out every second it can,,,,,,,

right, no recess appointment. Win this in an up or down vote.
