Sorry for the rant, but I had to let it out somehow.

[Founding Father]

The senate should just have a vote--forget the rules, just vote. What are the dems going to do--go to court? Can't, the courts will not intervene in parlimentary legislative matters. Vote, have the judges take a seat and tell the dems to go to ----

[Reagan79]

"OK. So now most of the Senators on the Democrat side will be gone...what are you going to do about it? Are you, as SERVENTS of the PEOPLE going to do your job, or are you going to go visit some influencial members of industry and get some free lap dances? What is it going to be?"

My guess is the latter.

[Physicist]

They still need 60 votes to break the filibuster, even if the Democrats go. They still need 51 votes for the nuclear option, and they don't have them.

[Stopislamnow]

Just need to keep it in session, call for cloture votes every 5 hours from now until the election in 04.

Extreme? Yah, but doable. It'll keep them from leaving Washington, nothing else will get done, no spending bills will pass, saving billions of taxpayer dollars.

Shooooooooie! This is what we need!

[Coroner]

Maybe the dems are fleeing DC because their friends in Al Quaida tipped them off to stay out of DC, NY and LA!!!!

[deport]

Don't blow a gasket...... rupture a gut...... pull a muscle..... get the vapors....... or break out in hives....

Tomorrow the sun rise in the east, shine it's life giving light and it will be a nice day....... have a nice one

[vannrox]

The point is this...any Democrat who stays in Washington this weekend risks losing a huge cut of the $15 Million from George Soros.

When it comes to Money, Democrats are even worse than Republicans. They will sell their own for some of that cash. No democrat will want to fight the nomination process while everyone else is out getting money and sex from the big Democrat Donor Mills.

Why can't the Reppubies just hold a vote, if it is over 51, then send the Justices to their appointed benches and be done with it. Send them to where ever Mr. President Bush appointed them. What can the demons do about it?? Tell them that their silly fillibuster doesn't count in this instance and be done with it! Move on!

[Republic]

hmmm...that would be stupendous! They could say they REFUSE to break with the constitutional standard set for advise and consent. They could do the up or down vote and shock the hell out of this nation! (And assure their seats in the next election cycle!)

[The Mayor]

Keep it going!..Keep it going!..Keep it going!..Keep it going!..Keep it going!..Keep it going!..Keep it going!..
going!..going!..going!going!..going.... going!..going!..!

[squidly]

That's what I don't understand. This "filibuster" isn't preventing a vote. Hold the damn vote.

No problem! We all know the feeling.

[expatpat]

The problem is that, by Senate rules, they can't vote until debate has been finished, and it takes 60 to end the debate.

[MichiganCheese]

Teddy Kennedy will have the shakes by morning...

Demoncrapts are harder on minorities and women that are conservatives than white males..........look at the record!

[Terry Mross]

The republicans need to grow a pair and kick the republicans who vote against a rule change off their committees. Then let them go home and explain to their consitutients why they're not bringing home the bacon. Either that or simply give the rats back the majority.
