Comments and discussion of the live coverage of the continuing Estrada filibuster.

[RobFromGa]

The 'Beast Speaks...

Untold Americans race for the Remote.

[Iwo Jima]

Horn was just confirmed for a lower court.

Lower than what? A district court is a district court.

[CathyRyan]

The Beast is on. Now I need a drink.

[Carolinamom]

Hillary up. Told ya! She's so predictable.

[Mo1]

Hatch just objected to Hellary's motion .. LOL

[RobFromGa]

She wants to talk about Kicking Saddam's ass.

[A Citizen Reporter]

OH NO! It's Hilary! We need a screen capture of this look she's got going on here. It's a new variation of her infamous layered look, under ole crusty.

[spokeshave]

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

Hope he also sprinkled Holy Water in her direction

[Howlin]

Oh, she wants to know how long and how many troops it will take and how much money.

I don't remember Clinton telling us any of that about Kosovo.

[VRWC_minion]

The battle on both sides has nothing to do with Estrada. This is battle over who is running the senate. Estrada is the lightening rod.

[aristeides]

Hillary up.

It's prime time, isn't it?

[RobFromGa]

Hillary:

She says she actually has spoken to one of her constituents.

[Cboldt]

She's so predictable.

She has substituted "Uh" for "You know." Hardly predictable - Heheheh

[VRWC_minion]

She doesn't sound like she expected Hatch to object. The rats are really afraid of keeping this debate going.

[LisaFab]

If one more Dem asks "What will the war cost...how many troops?," I will go INSANE!

Why don't we just send Saddam a list of our projected supply costs and the rosters and troop numbers we'll be using? Grrr.

[spokeshave]

was shrillary ruled out of order....how fitting...

[Iwo Jima]

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

Not an option. There is no "lower court." The district court to which he is nominated is as low as it gets in the federal court system.

[Mo1]

She looks like she is having another bad hair day

[votelife]

I just read Biden said he's voted for 1400 judges in his career and only 16 no's.

Well, statistics are meaningless. The ones he voted no on are probably, Bork, Thomas, soon to be Estrada, etc.

What Biden doesn't tell you is what did his role on the Judiciary committe play in STOPPING conservatives from EVEN GETTING A VOTE, ie what they are doing to Estrada right now!

[RobFromGa]

and tank um, um equipment. She's got a sharp military mind.

...And bang-bang guns, and pointy sticks...
