"You don't have to say it; they know," she said. "They know, because Patrick Leahy has been in the forefront of saying they would never filibuster judges in the past."


But Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican, said he doesn't want to match the Democrats with filibuster for filibuster.

Just checking in. No cogent thought is possible as my husband insisted on shots of takillya after dinner out. Just had to see the car chase and how it ended :-) Onward to post my 1 post witty? daft? replies on interesting threads.

"I would not want our side to stoop to levels they've stooped to," he said. "I think that filibusters [on judges] should be broken, because they fly in the face of the Constitution itself."

If not for Rush they would of wimped out this week! Good show on Friday that is a fact. Rush does not just go along with stupid things they do.

Like I said before, I think this is a political calculation that's gotten out of hand.

They are trying to make the rats look bad, but they are over doing it and shooting themselves in the foot.

That or our antiques in the Senate don't have the "right stuff" (probably all in a hurry to go play in the Senate Massage & Sauna we the people just renovated for them)

OR, a combination of the above..

[TLBSHOW]

and this is so important too.

[Jhoffa_]

Yeah, throwing their hands in the air won't cut it this time.

They are going to have to actually do something.

At this point, everyone already knows it's a partisan foodfight. Now they had better win it or there will be plenty of blame for both sides.

[Jhoffa_]

PS: These little half measures that are supposed to "expose" the rats partisanship on the matter are worthless.

We KNOW it's partisan already. Now just go win it for us.

We wants ears and scalps!

Been reading this one for two days now.

Do you remember the Clinton "enablers"??? Anything Slick did was good, was ok??? Well we have some pub "enablers" here on FR.

They seem to think the pubs do no wrong and are outwitting the dems. What sorry individuals. The usual suspects.

Well we have some pub "enablers" here on FR

They best get their heads out of their behinds because Fox News reported that The President is in the low 40s for registerd voters for the re-election.

Senator Roberts;

Then as the questioning by Brit continued; "Just how serious are the Republican Senators in keeping the Senate in extended session in order to force a hard filibuster"? The good Senator, chest out and bristling, resorted to classical North Korean rhetoric to avoid a straight-forward answer. Brit continued by asking the same question in four attempts at a clear answer. The good Senator obviously ( I say obviously rather then CLEARLY) had an agenda that did not include answering the question that was being asked.

In a past candid interview long ago, Tony Snow had explained the scenario of the questioner and the questioned. The show's host would not press for a straight answer beyond three or four attempts if the politico being questioned clearly didn't want to answer. You know, like a gentlemen's agreement.

Rush was lied to by whoever called him and said the Fox story was false.

Truth hurts!

[RobFromGa]

Nice job, Helen. Glad to help.
