"THE PRESIDENT NAILS THE DEMS!"

SMACKDOWN!!!

Thanks for the ping. I missed it this morning.

[Wait4Truth]

I just read that article. Can't stand that woman. President Bush has nominated several other Hispanics, too, as well as the black conservative woman. He is going to drive the Dems nuts...

[Wait4Truth]

You're welcome, dixie! I just wanted everyone to know that the President is going to make the RATS pay a price for thier partisan games.

[deport]

She is just riding the fence..... not sure which way to fall at this time..... But I it maybe that the dems will carry this forward a little further and then let the vote happen. Some things can be done behind the scenes that will bring it to a close.....

What does the "GIFT" say will happen with this?

[MeekOneGOP]

I wonder if this might get mainstream media coverage? I surely think not. That also is a disgrace !

Yet a handful of Democratic senators, for partisan reasons, are attempting to prevent any vote at all on highly qualified nominees. One of these nomiees is Miguel Estrada, my selection for the D.C. Court of Appeals. I submitted his nomination in May of 2001, and Miguel Estrada has been waiting ever since. That's almost two years, and that's a disgrace.

Miguel Estrada's credentials are impecable. He has served in the Justice Department under Presidents of both political parties. He has argued 15 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, and he has earned the American Bar Association's highest mark, a unaimous rating of well qualified.

Miguel Estrada is an exceptional nominee for the federal bench. He also has a remarkable personal story. He came to America from Honduras as a teenager, speaking little English. Within a few years, he had graduated from high honors from Columbia College and Harvard Law School. Miguel Estrada then served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as a federal prosecutor in New York, and as assistant to the solicitor general of the United States.

< snip >

Some senators who once insisted that every appeals court nominee deserves a vote have abandoned that principle for partisan politics. Their tactics are unfair to the good man I have nominated, and unfaithful to the Senate's own obligations. I call on the Senate Democratic leadership to stop playing politics, and permit a vote on Miguel Estrada's nomination.

Thanks for the post and the ping...

[TLBSHOW]

Then you better get people in there that can even say his name right. What am I talking about? Well the other night
on cspan debate on the subject the rats made us look like idiots and our guy couldn't even say his name right let alone debate the subject I will let Sandra fill you in on it if she is around right now.

[deport]

The gift has spoken.... lol.

Nothing as usual..... just let me get someone else to tell you what my gift says....

[TLBSHOW]

Since I was alerted to it from Sandra I will let her tell the story. Thanks!

[Wait4Truth]

What does the "GIFT" say will happen with this?

GIFT? What did I miss? I have no idea what you mean! LOL!

[Bullish]

The more dems obstruct, the more people wake up to the fact that they must go. This will backfire on democrats.

It proves they're pretty darn stupid.

[TLBSHOW]

Did you see Bill O'Reilly last night? We best get Get ready for another big problem.

[McGavin999]

He's absolutely right. To deny the man a vote, because they know he will win, is disgraceful and demeaning. The man is obviously well qualified and he's being denied a vote. If that isn't discrimination, nothing is.

[deport]

GIFT? What did I miss? I have no idea what you mean! LOL!

It's the ever seeing, all knowing, prognosticator TLBSHOW. He claims he has a "GIFT" and is never wrong..... Them Ratty Rats are something else.

[blackie]

I like being succinct ... those words are succinctly appropriate. :)

Saddam is toast!

Lock 'n Load!

[solo gringo]

To the republican senators 'BE PROUD BE STRONG BE READY'

[buffyt]

Another "Axis of Evil" exists, and it is within the Democratic party.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! The DEMONcRAT party indeed.

[Republic]

Thanks for the ping! HURRAH! Glad our main man is getting behind his nomination like these. Estrada is going to make it-and Daschle and Hitlery can stick it!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for this ping, Wait4Truth! I'm sending out letters to the editor to my state papers, contacting national groups, thanking our Senators.

If our busy President is pushing so hard for Miguel with all he has on his shoulders, the least we can do is light a fire under our Senators and neighbors.

Senators:

"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 A VOTE!!!

[jackbill]

THE PRESIDENT NAILS THE DEMS!

Yes he did. And now it's our turn. The Senate will be back in session next week and we need to bombard the DemocRATs with Fax's, phone calls and e-mails.

The message should be: Free Miguel Estrada!

THANK YOU Mr. Presdident!
