Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) on Thursday placed a blanket hold on all of President Barack Obama's nominees before the Senate, according to the office of Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Shelby's holds mean that the Senate cannot vote on a nominee unless the hold is broken using a cloture vote that requires 60 senators or if the senator lifts the hold.

The biggest battle of the month is not even being widely reported: the nomination of radical union lawyer Craig Becker to the NLRB. Scott Brown has said he does not know how he will vote on Becker’s cloture. It is critical people call his office at 202-224-4543 and tell him to support the fillibuster. Becker wrote a paper wherein he shows how the NLRB could give unions huge power just rhough regulation: without a single piece of legislation being passed. This anti-democratic radical mjust be stopped.

!!!! Dems grouse as Obama tacks to center Excerpt:
President Barack Obama is running into resistance from congressional Democrats over several key economic proposals — blunting the party’s ability to send a clear message to middle-class voters that Democrats feel their pain.
Obama has run into friction from fellow Democrats over plans to freeze some federal spending, to use bailout funds for small-business lending and to limit the reach of big banks.

“Repubs are growing spines?”
Nah, more than likely Shelby is just shilling for votes come re-election time.
I can’t remember if he’s up for re-election this year or in 2012, but either way he’s been in too long and has become tainted thus making him part of the problem.
It’s full time that we the people take back what is rightfully ours and send these career politicians their termination notices VIA the ballot boxes.
