The Best and Worst of the Senate Marathon Debate-Post Your Ratings Here

I just watched the Landrieu hissy fit. Hatch was asking for 30 more seconds on behalf of Kay Bailey Hutchison, who was speaking at the time. As he was taking off his microphone, he mumbled something about "can't get 30 seconds around here".

I noticed how Landrieu, in addition to other things, gave a Freudian slip, just like Chuck Schumer did, when she said that these judges had been "rejected". THEY HAVEN'T BEEN REJECTED BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN VOTED ON! They're being blocked from a vote by a tyrannical minority, but they haven't been rejected. A minority can't reject a nominee, in truth. But that is their aim, of course.

I hope President Bush gives a recess appointment to Justice Brown, merely to make Mary Landrieu eat her words.

If only Suzanne Terrell had won in 2002...

Ah, and we forget that Mary L. *lied* and pretended that she would vote for these candidates.

CLINTONESQUE!

I think Senator Santorum was the star of the show, his passion, intelligence and leadership is impressive. Senator Miller gave one of the best speeches I've ever heard. I was also greatly impressed with Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Coleman - both are adept at supporting their points with facts. All in all I was very impressed with the Republican Senators - most spoke with eloquence and intelligence.

On to the other 'side' of the fence:

Overall I thought the Senate Democrats came across as arrogant, ignorant, distorting hypocrites. I don't recall a single Democrat (excluding Miller) deserving of anything other than contempt and immediate removal from office.

Senator Landrieu was especially repugnant - her shrill rantings and illogical comments remind me of Hillary Clinton.

Senator Schumer is simply a repulsive human being. There is no excuse that allows him to remain in office. His attacks on Judge Brown were ample evidence that he just doesn't give a damn about the Constitution.

In my estimation the two worst Senators were the two representing my state - NJ.

Lautenberg is an idiot - a point that he consistently drove home. His inane ramblings and feigned anger over his obvious hatred for the Constitution would be hilarious if only he wasn't so dangerous in reality. The man appeared to be both drunk and senile.

As bad as Lautenberg was, Corzine was even worse. This pompous ass had the audacity to cite Judge Brown's comment ("When government advances, freedom is imperiled.") as an example of her being too extreme to serve.

Corzine made several comments that fully exposed the lack of comprehension he has for the Constitution and it's reason for being. The fact that he is a Senator speaks volumes about the stupidity of New Jersyans in general.

This man is the epitome of every bad attribute lumped on those of wealth: he is arrogant, ignorant, snobbish and determined to prove it at every possibility.

I can't help but wondering what monikers Corzine and his ilk would heap upon men like Thomas Jefferson, Trench Coxe, James Madison, George Washington, Thomas Paine and Daniel Webster - men who've all made statements remarkably similar to Judge Brown's thoughts on the dangers of government.

It is well beyond time that someone (of power) took these two traitors to task for their comments and their beliefs. Neither is fit to serve the people, neither is fit to reside in this nation. Both would be better suited if they wore uniforms of drab brown with prominent red stars.
