This is great news and should invoke cloture for the filibuster to allow a vote which will confirm Mr. Estrada!
Hi, PKM! The press conference was held in DC and shown on C-Span. A few fun facts: Barbara Boxer received so many pro-Miguel calls this past week that she's not taking calls in Ca., and the grassroots support for Miguel is strong nationwide!
Freepers still need to call our Senators. Sen. Graham's office was staying out of the fight last week (Fla. hot potato), but now they're telling callers that Democrats won't support Miguel because he may be the President's nominee for the USSC. In other words, "Miguel's so qualified we can't allow him a vote" (Graham as weasel and rat).
