Too bad senators couldn't be impeached!

[MamaLucci]

Bottom line, if democrats followed rules and laws, they'd cease to exist.

I have long believed that someone in the Clinton administration knows of some of Estrada's 'work product' in the SG office that could be used to criticize him. They are just pushing to get that door open a crack and VOILA! someone will 'find' it -

My guess is he must have written something about abortion. Never mind that he was just writing up research on LAW, not his own opinion.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Yes, and the point needs to be made that although all the democrat senators continue to say that he didn't answer questions, (LIE) and that they don't have enough information, that the Judiciary Committee has voted on this nomination already. The dims lost that vote!

[Carolinamom]

Whew! Just got caught up reading this thread. The comments here cut to the quick and are better than the speakers'.LOL President Bush will stay the course both in Iraq and in the senate. I do not doubt this.

[Howlin]

I have NO clue......and I thank God every single night that I cannot understand what they mean/might mean/imply! My brain won't work that way!

[Miss Marple]

They are trying to infer that he is a weirdo. It is a clever way of smearing him.

[Sacajaweau]

I'll nominate our two in New York for impeachment!!

I truly feel that I have no "moral" representation at the Senate level.

Baby killing is against my moral code. It's "murder" and nothing less.

[Miss Marple]

They keep brining up Clinton appointees. There is no doubt in my mind that Hillary is running this show.

[RamingtonStall]

The Republicans should ask each Democrat what information Estrada would need to supply in order for the individual Senator to Vote "Yes".

(a) Perhaps if he could change his name to Kennedy and forget Spanish?

(b) How about if he did (a) and then went out and assisted the butchers in the Abortion Clinic for a week?

(c) How about if he did ........

OR, is there no way that he would change his Vote?

[A Citizen Reporter]

I have to run along and get some errands done. Keep up the vigil!

[Howlin]

Do some of mine, will you?

[MamaLucci]

According to this, they can be.

[Otta B Sleepin]

My hubby's dream is that the memos will be released and discovered to contain incriminating info re: X42 and his now-senator spouse which would then be revealed to everyone. (hey, I know that's not how the media works, but it's his dream, so why not? LOL)

[Carolinamom]

Durbin on submitting questions to Estrada: "If he takes the tests and passes it"......... HUH?

[princess leah]

You have my deepest sympathy with THOSE two senators from Hell! Perhaps Rudy will run next year and oust the Schmuck!

[kcvl]

They do work for us so they need to take my calls. Blanche Lincoln's office in Little Rock, AR, is closed due to the ice storm. I was going to let them have it too. lol! Oh, well. All this anger will just have to boil over until I get someone(anyone of the RATS will do) on the phone.

Durbin and Reid are going into a Mutt and Jeff (for Frick and Frak) act. Or do we have a game of 20 Questions going on?

Listening to Ari on Fox News...he indicated there is a speech tonight by President Bush. Does anyone know what time?

Also....Ari (when asked about the CBS interview of Saddam, due to air tonight) said there will soon come a time when the media will have a choice to make. Saddam will be putting out all sorts of people to spread his message of propaganda, and the media will have to decide how much credence they will give these people, by deciding to air their comments. (that is a TOTAL paraphrase on my part)
