BUSH: his nomination is being delayed and stalled by democratic senators - been delayed for 2 years for purely political reasons - applying double standard - asking questions no one has ever been forced to answer - by blocking they are flaunting the tradition of the us senate - ABA gave him highest ratings - unfair double standard - failing to give an up or down vote - i will stnad by that mans side until he is sworn in as a judge

[maica]

"I will stand by that man's side until he is sworn is as a Justice for America"

[Consort]

[Cold Heat]

My power was restored about a hour ago. Good thing too, cuz my batteries in the laptop were down to 7 percent.

[MJY1288]

GWB just said the Democrats in the Senate are flaunting the U.S. Constitution. And said he will stand by this man's side until he is sworn in.

President Bush is coming on STRONG for Estrada. "These Senators are blocking this nomination for purely political reasons and are thwarting the purposed of the Constitution.

"I will stand by that man's side until he is sworn in as a Judge."

Oh.... and GOOD MORNING, all!

Thanks for the ping, Howlin

[ACAC]

Bush: I will stand by that man until he is sworn in as a federal judge!

[TLBSHOW]

have we gone 24/7 yet?

[leadpenny]

LOL! You're on the phone with your Mom, watching a muted TV and posting on FR. Do FReepers need help, or what?

[Recovering_Democrat]

While President Bush was speaking to the Latino Coaltion, I tried to call my Senators. ALL CIRCUITS ARE BUSY!

America is SPEAKING OUT to their Senate: VOTE ON ESTRADA!

[Diana Rose]

I remember as a child hearing about I think it was Strom reading from his Mother's Cook book during a filibuster. May be someone should send the Clinton Legacy Cook book.

[MamaLucci]

Naming names....saying the democrats in the senate are unfairly holding Estrada to a double standard. Quoted Alexander Hamilton as saying that the senate should only fight presidential nominees to the federal bench if they are "unfit". "NO ONE", GW said, is saying that M Estrada is unfit. Loud applause.

[fightinJAG]

wow - Bush Loyalty Alert!

[syriacus]

Dorgan is another one of the "hair impaired" Democrats.

I've often thought Biden was brain-impaired because they placed the hair plugs too deeply into his swollen head.

[justshe]

LOL.....support....not help..SUPPORT!

[wasp69]

"Poisoning the debate with baseless, accusations demeans the nomination process."

And that has stopped your criminal scumbag party when, Senator? F@#king hypocrites all. I sincerely hope they keep this kind of behavior up right into the 2004 election cycle. For that matter, I hope they keep bill and hil in charge. The best legacy bill can ever lay claim to is a historic change in the balance of power in DC. I think I could handle a super majority in 2004.

New official DNC tie

A man can never have too many ties. This fits them well on those moody days. (With sincerest apologies to family and fans of The Stooges)

[princess leah]

I am praying for laryngitis for all Senate Democrats (except those who have committed to vote for Estrada) so that they will have to stop this nonsense! How must Mr. Estrada feel sitting patiently by with the dems treating him so outrageously. He has done NOTHING to merit this contemptuous behavior from those whose own lives COULD NOT bear up under the slightest inquiry!

Re: All circuits busy

More likely, the "virtual march" on Washington by the anti-american anti-war crowd jamming the phones.

[Poser]

Today is the day peace creeps are supposed to jam the Washington phones. That's why you can't get through.

I put all of the senate emails in one column so you can cut and paste them into your email program. Some don't have published email.
