Every now and then, Feinstein will exhibit some reason. She’s not as moonbatty as Boxer is.

The decision inflamed liberal activists for its pointed use of the word “homosexual” instead of “gay.”

They they'd really hate to hear what I call them.

[So Circumstanced]

Never thought I’d say it, but “kudos to Feinstein”.

It doesn't take much to get these people mad.

I think I just saw a pig outside my second-floor window.

Hmmm, this is the second time in recent history that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Dianne Feinstein.

[gidget7]

ummmmmmmm News flash for the writers of this article, and Leahy, Southwick is not controversial, the Demoncrats and their opinions are.

Kind of puts the beat down on senator Skru-mer

And just where was this leadership when the GOP was in the majority? Both chambers’ Republicans fight like dogs when outnumbered, and roll over like sleeping cats when they run things.

Oh, cruel fate. A small toast to the senior Senator from California. Blind pig/acorn moment, or someone’s got the goods on her husband.

In one case, Southwick joined a narrow majority to uphold the reinstatement of a white state employee who had lost his job for using a racial slur.

STATE employee > First Amendment rules > correct decision.

In another, he joined a decision to award custody of an 8-year-old child to her father instead of her bisexual mother. The decision inflamed liberal activists for its pointed use of the word “homosexual” instead of “gay.”

Social libertarian that I am, I can't get too worked about that one either. The kid had to go to one parent or the other. Unless the dad was clearly unfit in some way, in a culture like Mississippi's, it's probably easier for the kid to live in a home that's less likely to be a target of anti-gay criticism and teasing. And it's appropriate to use technical terms in a legal decision.

Wow, the queers and fagots homosexuals are real sensitive, aren't they.

“The Democrats’ obstructionism is a disgrace and is an example of politics at its worst,” said Giuliani in a statement on Democratic opposition to Southwick. “Our courts should not be compromised because of partisans who are forgoing their Constitutional responsibilities in order to pursue a political agenda.”

I am sorry to all Freepers, but this as close to what I would say as any candidate got.

Over the past several weeks, senior Republican members of the Senate Appropriations Committee have put pressure on Feinstein...

Wow, this is a tough one. Not! Appropriations? Think about it. It's simple vote-trading, probably to funnel more federal money into her husband's CA businesses. At the extreme, maybe she's playing nice to avoid some awkward ethics quesions on the same subject.
