sorry, they would serve only until 2011.
Thank you John McCain, Mike DeWine, Lindsey Graham, Trent Lott and the rest of the Senaors that betrayed by signing their name to that pact or supporting it in the shadows. Well done fools.
It's uncanny, isn't it? That had to be a political move to make it seem like Bush tried to be 'progressive' with Miers and Alito was just a secondary choice. That's the only "explanation" that keeps me from pulling out clumps of hair.
Freudian slip---prez (gag) wannabe.
Chuck's principles? What principles?
When does this bozo come up for re-election anyway?
"Harriet Miers might be the best we can get now."
Don't be so sure. Clarence Thomas was confirmed with 57 democrats in the Senate.
As for Schumer: the phrase 'pride goeth before destruction' comes to mind.
BUT, Clarence was not the 5th vote to overturn Roe (Bork would have been the 5th vote, I think)
No, it couldn't have been Bork. Bork was nominated by Reagan. After Bork we got Scalia, I think.
Let me just say this: think of dem senators from red states who want to be re-elected. W should be able to hold all 49 GOP votes. He'll only need an additional 2 (or 1 with Cheney breaking a tie). The Court is not lost.
Let me add one more thing about the Court. John Roberts, I believe, was truly an inspired choice for CJ. The Chief does not and can not tell justices how to decide, but, the Chief does have tremendous power of influence and persuasion. If you watched the Roberts hearings before the Senate, you know that he can win an argument quite well.
Chuckie Schroomer confirms yet again that the 'RATS have totally and permanently trashed all "bi-partisan" traditions of Congress, such as the long-standing presumption in favor of a President's nominees so long as they are well-qualified in objective professional terms. Now the 'RATS see everything through the lens of ideological warfare, and it does not matter how many competent judges or justices or UN Ambassadors a Republican president may nominate, these 'RATS will judge them only in relation to subservience to a left/liberal agenda.
To think of all the Republicans who blithely voted for Ginsburg and Breyer out of respect for Senate traditions..... from now on it is political warfare all the way!!
LOL
Great, NOW I understand!! :-)
LOL LOL LOL

I also hope to see a new , yet older version of the crazed Chuck Schumer who climbed to the top of a pile of rubble at Waco, exultingly holding aloft a rifle, triumphantly celebrating the murder of 7 dozen people by his Attorney General. That remains the most disgusting political image that still lingers in my mind. I hope my memory is not faulty, and that someone can confirm this. It was a long time ago, and I can find no ready reference to it.
And even if he didn't physically do it, he did it in other ways, by his grandstanding and the way he dealt with the Branch Davidians, blaming the entire thing on them.
How times change...
C. C. Schmucker/Schumer is the worst. See my # 94---do you remember this?
Now, that's a call to arms, isn't it? The people who voted him in (and the ones that didn't) now have the responsibility to watch him like a hawk and not accept any excuses. Remember, his father is the Casey in the infamous Planned Parenthood vs. Casey. If Junior does not deliver as promised, he will be a one-term Senator.
Even pro-choice Sen. Carper voted to ban partial-birth abortion and that was because we hounded him mercilessly on it. Somebody ping the PA list!
Those whom God exalts, he can also destroy. God is famous for making things go very, very wrong at the last minute... and at the worst possible time.
I am beginning to think the answer to this question is too long.
