This might be the biggest fight in the Senate in a generation. Or it could just be a whim. The stakes are high and I have my fingers crossed that the president will make a strong choice to go to the court.

She threatening the Senate Democrats, should any of them show any weakness towards legalized baby killing.
Where's she gonna go if a few abandon her and her ghoulish constituency?

I realize this might be asking a little much, requiring some fortitude and all, but what would happen if a Senate Majority Leader were to say the next item on the floor of the Senate will be a vote on this or these judicial nominees, no matter how long this filibuster lasts.
Another thing would be to bottle up every piece of legislation the liberals want to bring to a vote.
I realize Frist may be one of the pro abortion types, but there ought to be some band of conservatives that can use the filibuster as a club as well as the socialists can.

Senator Frist called PBA an abomination about a week ago. Check your facts.

It wasn't a question of checking the facts. I simply didn't know. The thing that I was getting at is the Democrats are always threatening filibuster unless they get everything they want. It seems to me that can be dealt with by giving them nothing, zip, nada as long as they are filibustering such things as judicial nominees.

"I realize Frist may be one of the pro abortion types..." He's not.
As prima facie evidence, do you honestly believe Tennessee would elect a pro-abort Senator?
Recall that Algore was proudly pro-life. When he was a Senator...

I realize Frist may be one of the pro abortion types,There are some wackos around here trying to leave that impression. Check out the National Right to Life Committee's page on Senator Frist:
http://www.capwiz.com/nrlc/bio/keyvotes/?id=540
He voted 100% pro-life on the key issues they cite.

Maybe we just pull the conservative version of a david souter, you know, bring in a guy who intentionally misleads everyone, gets there vote, and then does his own thing. We could have our guy out and out lie, since the libs do it all the time, and just make sure we know he is a pro-lifer. I know this is very dishonest, just a thought though.

This here is one of those situations where the conservatives are going to encounter resistance regardless of who they nominate. Unless of course they nominate the good dr kavorkian or some other GNARL Meatgrinder advocate. So the Conservative majority might as well make courageous choices and fight for it in the name of 1st Amendment Free Speech rights. Strong opposition to the Leftist THOUGHT POLICE who want ideological purity in the judiciary.
If Mr Bush wants to take a commanding lead in the polls in 2004, he will stand up and fight against the Leftist Idealogues and stop trying to play to the moderate democrats. Every time Mr Bush gives quarter to the democrats they bludgeon him mercilessly, and this alienates the more right leaning members of the conservative groups. Moderate Libertarians (Im not one) and right leaning conservatives (I MIGHT be one) will RESPECT the president for taking a stand. Do the right thing Mr President, you know what that is and we will support you. Time for Frist to use his surgical skills to go for the jugular.

Bush, don't cave on the life issue. Give us our pro-life judges.

A spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said the South Dakota lawmaker "feels it's vital that all judicial nominees be willing to faithfully respect the Constitution. That said, he will make a judgment on each individual case as it is presented to him."Where in the Constitution does it say anything about a woman's "right" to murder her unborn child? I don't believe that little bolshevik worm Daschole has ever read the Constitution.

The Court simply decided that there is a point in time before which the government cannot crawl up a woman's vagina in order to protect the life of her unborn child, on the basis of the principle that one is to be secure in one's person from unreasonable searches and seizures.

You are a disgusting piece of work.
A more workable solution in any event would be to convict and jail for a lo-o-o-o-o-o-n-g time any doctor, nurse or other person who assisted the woman to have an abortion.
It might be difficult to convict a punish a woman who was determined to end the life of her unborn child. But it would be quite appropriate to covict the Kevorkian vultures who are "crawling up her vagina" to kill the child.

you're kidding, right?
