Thank you for your appreciation. This guy was nominated two years ago, and my Florida Senators did NOTHING to get this guy a vote. Now, we have a 2 year window with a Republican President and Senate. Really it's only 6 months to a year because with the election next everything will slow down. I think there's a good chance Rehnquist and/or others may step down this summer. All of the above reasons are why we have to FIGHT so hard now to get Estrada, Owens, Pickering, etc confirmed. If we can get Estrada confirmed (let's shoot for 60 votes) then future battles will be half way won before they've even started.

Absolutely agree....we must continue to fight for Estrada!

Pinging other FL Freepers to help in this effort!

Fellow FL Freepers.....Please call our senators & join this effort to support the confirmation of Estrada!

Tonight Bob Dole said on Hardball that 'the Constitution gives the Senate the power to confirm judicial nominees NOT the power to filibuster them'.
