"We cannot ask a [judicial] candidate what he would do; and if we did and he should answer, we should only despise him for it." So sermonized President Abraham Lincoln to Rep. George S. Boutwell.."

 
LET MIGUEL HAVE HIS VOTE!!!

Keeping the heat on, bump!

The dumb-o-crats want a more moral person along the lines of bent willie, the lying BJ pervert, who soiled the peoples house by just being there.

I prefer dim-o-cruds but thats neither here nor there

I must agree.

The vote would probably be much more lopsided though. I'm thinking 75 for, after all the sewage drains off the Senate floor. I also think that the Republicans are going to stand firm on the filibuster.

The RATS are digging a hole for themselves on this one, a hole they most likely can't get out of. A good guage of this is how Hillary responds. If you'll notice, she's keeping a low profile and letting the other RATS fall on the sword for her. This sword is double edged for the RATS. The cutting will start very soon if they don't relent. Of course, I hope and pray that they don't. With each day they become, "Dumb & Dumber". From my view point, you're looking good boys and girls, just keep it up.

While I share your sentiments I might remind you that this battle is more like a chess game than a SlaughterAnythingThatMoves video game. Finese and strategy is crucial since you have to deal with the huge number of dumbasses within the American people.

Remember Discretion is the Better Part of Valor.

The Freep for the day is Rush Limbaugh. Rush gets around 20 million listeners a day. He drawn a lot of attention lately with Daschle, Clinton, and the NY Times writing about him...

So, we need to encourage him to keep talking about Estrada. Here is the info:

YOU can call The Rush Limbaugh Show program line between 12 Noon and 3PM Eastern Time at: 1-800-282-2882

You can e-mail Rush at: rush@eibnet.com

You can fax Rush at: 212-563-9166

You can write Rush at:
The Rush Limbaugh Show
2 Penn Plaza
New York, NY 10121

Everyone, it only takes a second to do this, let's show some support for Miguel and get this guy confirmed!

…. when Republican Orrin Hatch or Utah says, “I'll stay here ‘til hell freezes over” -- well, things don't look good.

Of course when Senators say, “hell freezes over”, they actually mean until the wife gives them enough grief to move on.

FREEPers, I have created the ultimate Estrada activism thread. On it you will find ways to contact Senators, newsspapers, radio/tv people, organizations etc. Go there and help support Estrada. Keep the thread bumped until we get him confirmed.

let's create some more cracks in the filibuster!

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada and Owen, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.
