FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[Jrabbit]

Those 14 senators are whackadoodles. There are too many on the left like drunk Teddy and too many on the right like Grassley that will refuse to be muzzled.

I suppose the 14 can prance around the senate floor all day saying the nuke option is gone, but saying it doesn't make it so.

ugh....the swimmer is sickening

[shield]

mcCAIN is a traitor....he's proved once again that he's a RINO...Arizona vote this bassturd out of the senate. Remember Dasshole!!!!

[OldFriend]

NOTHING HAS CHANGED......

[Bryan24]

This "agreement" was all about PR. The 7 RINOs will now be subject to the MSM's pressure to block "controversial" nominees.

[defconw]

I know I e-mailed them all the Rhino's!!

[SunshinesStormySummerSon]

Frist is a good and decent and honorable man. Quiet, consistent courage to stand up for what's right will eventually prevail.

[NeoCaveman]

Here's where the nine-judge figure comes from. Democrats killed three judges in the last session -- Estrada, Pickering and Kuhl -- through filibuster. Even though they have agreed to vote on Brown, Owen and Pryor, they haven't agreed on Saad, Myers and two others hanging fire. That leaves seven in the dust. In addition, Dem sources told the New York Times today that Republicans also have agreed to kill the Kavanagh and Haynes nominations, now before the Judiciary Committee. Hence, three judges survive -- a minimum of seven and maximum of nine go overboard.

This is not acceptable.

[Claytay]

News flash Teddy the Austin-American Statesman is a left wing fringe group.

[LisaFab]

Well you can now see that last night changed nothing. Teddy is still slamming Owens. The 'deal' could be negated as early as this morning, LOL.

[AliVeritas]

We already have (surprises). Now the dems (via scubasauce), is showing their defiance of the agreement...they never intended to go straight to a vote.
So he is rehashing history (Watered down version, of course)

[MamaLucci]

Thanks for the great link.

Call The Senate

[xsmommy]

no, it is not.

[OldFriend]

McCain's agreement will be as effective as McCain/Feingold

Keep in mind that his Mc/F law brought us the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, backfiring totally and completely on McCain.

This agreement will backfire on him too.

[Not A Snowbird]

What's he supposed to do? Tie up the RINOs and lock them in a closet?

Yes.

Okay. I've got the duct tape!

[VA is for Freepers]

Senator Allen is on Laura Inagraham's show now.

[defconw]

I don't know who's running yet, but I will find out!

[native texan]

Ol Ted just stated that the Austin American Statesman was a conservative newspaper!! Austin is the most liberal place in Texas...the newspaper is totally liberal.

[johnny7]

He's on Laura Ingrahams show right now!

[PubliusEXMachina]

When Kennedy talks about mainSTREAM I get nervous. Kenndy and water dont mix.

[traderrob6]

And you choose to believe "Dem sources"?
