Go Cruz and Lee.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Since Harry Reid got rid of the filibuster for presidential nominees, can anything be done to stop this from being forced through during the lame duck session?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Please be so! Please be so! Please be so!

[ErnBatavia]

Probably not.....but look for him to ram through a rules-reversal just at the end of the year.

[Viennacon]

Time.

They have a lot to do, and she is required to have a hearing. One of Reid’s aids has said that she won’t be confirmed in the lame duck

[jazusamo]

I honestly don’t know but have a hunch not, unless a Senator can put a hold on a nominee and lengthen the process.

In the exit poll Judicial Watch analyzed, some 70% of Americans - and over 50% of Hispanics and Blacks - approve of VoterID.

Cruz, Lee et.al. need to hammer home that she believes VoterID is racist.

Today, while Americans are still listening and not caught up in holiday planning and stuff.

I like this. That’s what I have been saying, hold any confirmation up

until the new Congress comes in. We need to know her background other than reading one headliners for her affirmation.

[Hugin]

However, lawmakers will return for the final few months of businesses of the current session next week.

"Final few months"? Not even two.

[jazusamo]

I noticed that too, Mario needs to get informed.

[fhayek]

I ask, because I don't know. I thought the filibuster was stopped for judicial nominees. Does this apply to all appointees?

[jazusamo]

Yes, all but SCOTUS justices.

I hope is not confirmed, quickly or otherwise, but I wonder why it should take months to interview her. Most times when a confirmation hearing is televised, it doesn’t last even as long as a tennis match. A few vague questions (with some exceptions) , a few vague answers (with hopefully, some exceptions) and it’s over before dinner. This is not a Supreme Court decision that requires Court Clerks, or is it?

[Rome2000]

No

Nevertheless, come January 3rd, the party is over for the communist Democrat Party in Congress and their comrade in the WH.

[Vision]

Agreed. And she's unqualified.

[Ann Archy]

Lynch, Sharpton in semi drag, PROBABLY is as corrupt for the “JUST US” Dept. as Holder.

[Ann Archy]

I wouldn’t believe ANYTHING from the Reid camp. Of COURSE they will try to ram her through.

[Ann Archy]

Good point!! EVERONE and EVRYTHING requires an ID EXCEPT for VOTING....and it’s only the Democrats who don’t want it!! WHY???? VOTE FRAUD!! Vote Early and Often is their slogan.

[Sacajaweau]

Holder has done his damage but let him stay in the hot seat...especially now
