not real encouraging to hear this stuff from our 'team' of warriors in the senate;

"Miguel Estrada could lose," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.

"I feel sorry for his family. I feel sorry for him. I only hope that if they succeed in denying him this, that he will not assume that we are like that," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M.

sounds to me like they haven't learned to play hardball yet. Arrest democrat wives for lobbying, deny a few building permits on legal grounds , call a few friends at the banks and have loan portfolios cancelled in their home states, aka "kicking ass" and then throw a few grandkids or mistresses in jail over the weekend for DRUG use... and watch them vote for an end to the fillibuster poste haste.

Pubbies aren't really too smart about actually pulling the levers of power.... though they do genuflect when they point to them and say "lookie here now son, WE have the levers of power!"
Have them? Yes, without a doubt.
Have the courage or wisdom on how to USE them? H$LL no.
