You go first.
hasn’t worked for anyone yet.
No, I think not, but they should have been shouting en masse about this to the public. We barely heard a peep.
No. That is symbolic and useless. Make it hurt. The GOP should deny “unanimous consent” every time it is requested. make the Senate read everything, vote on everything, and do everything by the book, without any shortcuts. The House should cut funding to any court with a judge approved through the shortcut, and the cut should match the salary of the marginal judge, with no negotiations on those cuts.
The GOP protest, which could extend into the weekend, will throw a wrench in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) hopes of wrapping up legislative business for 2013 as soon as possible. Republicans will delay a final vote on Cornelia Pillard, one of President Obama’s picks for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, until about 1 a.m. Thursday.Thanks Cincinatus' Wife.
yeah huh
Sarge, given the orientation of the mainstream media, how do we know the Republicans didn't sound off on this? In fact many of them did sound off, but their message never got out. If the roles had been reversed the media would have handled the matter immediately for the Democrats.
The media is the real enemy. They bury anything unfavorable to the liberal side, ignore liberal lies and hypocrisy, and distort conservative messages beyond recognition.
Girls, girls, girls ...... come on. <sigh>
This is so stupid. Like he said, do something.
During the 2012 Republican convention, Mark Halperin, formerly of TIME and before that a Clinton staffer (how many Clinton staffers are "journalists" now?), came on to Charlie Rose's set in the PBS prebends in the convention hall and gloated that nobody would see either the Romney "introduction to the voters" video the GOP had put together, nor the great speech by Clint Eastwood.
Halperin, chapped by Clint's bravura performance, promised Charlie that whatever the GOP message was, would get so sliced, diced, and spun-up by Halperin's evil 'RatMedia towel buddies as to be utterly incomprehensible to the electorate. (Call that coverage "accurate, but deliberately FUBAR".)
