Hatch up after 89-0 win for last nominee.

[Howlin]

I've love to see that!

[VRWC_minion]

Hatch is firing back. Using a letter so that he can address Daschle directly.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Hatch is addressing committee rules now, in the form of a letter he wrote to Daschle.

[justshe]

Ohhhhh........Hatch or Brit? Hatch or Brit? Can someone give updates on Hatch?

[votelife]

who was the last nominee??

[LisaFab]

I, to this day, have not forgiven Rita Cosby. I think my heart, literally, stopped.

And to this day, I am sick of coverage of the SCOTUS vote never including this line from the actual decision:

Seven Justices of the Court agree that there are constitutional problems with the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court that demand a remedy.

[Howlin]

What letter?

[Cboldt]

The misconstruction of the SCOTUS decision is evidence of BIAS.

[RobFromGa]

Horn was just confirmed for a lower court.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Hatch wrote a letter to Daschle last Friday. In it he told shrimpy that maybe he was misinformed about Judiciary Committee Rules, because he had never been on the J.C. LOL!

[justshe]

AMEN!!!!!

[Miss Marple]

"shrimpy"

HAHAHAHAHA!

[Mo1]

Tiny Tom is getting so tiny, pretty soon we will be able to fit him in a match box, place him on the fireplace mantel and forget about him.

FREEPERS. This is the strategy among Dems. Let Bush appoint lots of people to the lower courts. EVERY DEM VOTES FOR THEM. That way they get their numbers up so they can say, I voted for 97% of Bush's nominees. To the uninformed independants, this sounds reasonable. But, then they obstruct, delay, obstruct, so nominees for Appeals courts, don't get votes. This keeps their no votes down, and the District courts can always be overturned by the Appeals and the Supremes.

Don't let the Dems fool us! This is a judicial ideolgocical/constitutional WAR!

[spokeshave]

Simple....re-submitt Estrada to a lower court then bump him up a notch at a time....

[LisaFab]

BIAS in the objective media? Well shut my mouth :-)

Equal protection my foot! That case was open and shut based on the CONSTITUTION - Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 1.

Hillary! rises attired in 'Ole Crusty' rises to discuss another topic and is smashed by Hatch!

[Mo1]

There is Hellary .. RIGHT ON TIME!!!

[Cboldt]

Whoa. Hatch just objected to Hillary's attempt to introduce a bill!!
