Thank you so much for this very valuable information. I think part of the frustration we feel out here in the public is that we are not privy to the "plan". But we also know you cannot reveal a lot of what's going on.

We are also aware that the President is orchestrating this plan and I think it's good that the repubs seem to be working together for a change.

Now that I understand how this is all being viewed - and even though I wish more could be done sooner - I do understand.

thanks for your comments; I don't know what Bush's solution to this filibuster mess is, however his past comments suggest he won't take this lying down. I do know that our best course of action (which I've been doing) is to contact Bush/Frist/etc and share the anger with them. Tapping on our keyboards here doesn't do any good.

I'd sure rather be in Bush's position politically on this issue than Daschle's. We need to remember how UNPRECENTED this attack on a president's nominating power is. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg was approved with many Republican votes! The Dems are trying to REWRITE the confirmation process and its our job (and Rush and Hannity and FR and other sites) to make sure that America hears the truth. Maybe part of Bush's plan is to use this issue to END Daschle's political career. It frustrates me to not know what the final plan is, but look, Bush just nominated Janice Brown, I think we can be confident there is a plan in store!

SD is a very conservative state and won't take kindly to this obstruction. Daschle only manages to get elected by promising pork and blurring the differences between the two parties. Pro-life and Pro-gun are two major issues in SD and the blocking of conservative nominees goes to that heart of that issue. I'd be happy to delay the confirmation of these appeals court nominees to see Daschle defeated or scared into retirement. I think this is a sentiment all Freepers can agree on!

Now freepers, call your senators and call Frist, write Bush, and call the talk shows!
