Bring it on Arlen. Specter says nominees are not supposed to give their opinions on matters that might come before the court.

About President Bush-
...straight talk and deep resolve on issues that he deeply believes in. Oh yeah! I agree!!! He inspires me to deepen and stand tall for my own convictions-regardless of circumstance!

If the stories we read of the fear the Democrats have of Al Sharpton's primary campaign, an effective tactic might be to call Democratic senators and tell them that we will trade our votes for Sharpton for their votes against Estrada.

I think I'll go to the Elvis room and clean my Bushmaster .223 DCM match rifle. It's not dirty but I won't be watching Dorgan.
That sounds like a scary weapon! How could you have such a scary looking weapon? What's wrong with you! You could put an eye out! Or worse!

Bush stopped just short of calling the "Dims" a bunch of bigots.

the fact that Rather is willing to interview this brutal dictator is obscene in itself. What kind of standards has CBS fallen too? Would CBS have tried to get the big scoop on Hitler back in the 40s? Is this whole thing about ratings? Do they not care at ALL that by interviewing Saddam they give legitimacy to his reign of terror?

Specter: Estrada has had hearing before committee and has been voted out.
All Senators could pose questions to Estrada.
Democrats' Red herring: DOJ should turn over Estrada's OSG recommendations.
Reading letter saying open exchange of ideas in SG office could not take place if person worried about future publications of opinions. Signed by four former Democratic SG's and 3 former GOP SG's.
Now we have "Advise and dissent " function.

It seems to me that President Bush is always one step ahead of the game.
Like a master illusionist, he gets the opposition to focus on an apparition while the real action is deployed undetectably right under their noses. I sense huge exposures of liberal hypocrisy about to unfold.
BTW - Nice job on all the phone calls. Keep up the good work.
To: RobFromGa
Rob...just wanted to thank you for your all your great comments yesterday. You were awesome...and the Teddy Kennedy retrospective was a hoot...You know, I think the Senate should adopt a rule requiring all senators to pass a breathalyzer BEFORE they go on the Senate floor...
BTW, you asked me yesterday if Frist was "caving" because he talked about possibly having Miguel do something more to "appease" the Dems...I don't think so..he knows they won't agree to anything..so, in a sense, he's backing them into a corner.....FRist hasn't shown the bare-knuckles yet...

Specter: Stranglehold on Senate. 41 Senators holding confirmation hostage. Specter says a protocol should be established so that there are deadlines for each stage in judicial candidacies.

I love this. The "dims" are self-destructing. I hope they filabuster on prime time. Let the minorities see which party really wants to keep them "in their place."
