Let the RATS filibuster. But the GOP better make sure that nothing else moves forward till there is a vote on Estrada. Make the RATS put their hypocrisy on display for everyone to see.

[aristeides]

Did Hatch just say something? I don't seem to be getting any audio on C-SPAN 2.

[OXENinFLA]

I just watched Hatch give the dems up to 50 hr of debateing time. THEY DURNED IT DOWN....IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rface]

a filibuster will bite the 'RATS in their own ass. Let 'em go - and I don't want some pansy-assed filibuster, I want to see it dragggggggg onnnnnnnn

[RoseofTexas]

According to CNN(just surfing the news cable) and the rest of the hypocritial liberal whores, it is a JUSTIFIED FILIBUSTER....GOSHHHHHHHHH I hope this comes back to bite them in the A** the next election round!! BIAS BASTARDS!!!

[MarkT]

Hatch is probably just as much a eunuch as Lott but Trist should step up and force the Dems to take their position public. Trist should tell the Dems to bring their flashlights and their bedrolls, because its going to be a long f*&king day - make them filibuster 24 hours a day, 7 days week until the country gets tired of seeing the Dems stop a fricking judicial appointment for the mere reason he was appointed by Bush and may be a conservative.

No 1 hour a day b.s. by the Dems and allowed by the spineless Pubbies should occur. The Dems must be forced to show their true colors.

[finnman69]

I wonder if the RATS will want to still be filibustering when the bombs drop.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for starting this thread. The Democrats in the Senate are no longer pretending to follow basic rules of decency.

Pres. Bush on Miguel Estrada late this afternoon:  "A handful of Democrats in the Senate are playing politics with his nomination and it's shameful politics." "I call upon fair play in the Senate."

 

Sen. Orrin Hatch, asked for an additional six hours of divided debate on Miguel Estrada this afternoon, proceeding directly to a vote, Sen. Dodd objects,  eight, objection, 10, objection, 20 additional hours - up to 50 hours, Chris Dodd objects to every requests.

"The Senator is telling me that no matter what I offer he will object?"

"It's apparent now that we're in the middle of a filibuster."  Sen. Orrin Hatch

Dodd and the rest have no reason to deny Miguel this confirmation. None. All their talk is hot air, BS, smear, slander, sham, vain, unworthy, dishonorable, unaccountable, sleazy, bearing false witness, lies.

 

[inkling]

Do the Dems realize how much money will be raised by the National Republican Senatorial Committee if they hold a filibuster against Estrada? I bet the PayPal at nrsc.org is going crazy right about now.

The US is in one war and about to begin another and all the Dems can do is waste time filibustering the first Hispanic nominee to the DC Circuit Court. I can't wait to see Gasbag Kennedy complaining again about Estrada's "hot Latin temper!"

Democrats step in it yet again... HA!

[onedoug]

Time for truth. RINO watch.

[11th_VA]

Here's how the Republicans can get back:

Do this about 1:30 AM, and every 2 hours there after:

3. If, at any time during the daily sessions of the Senate, a question shall be raised by any Senator as to the presence of a quorum, the Presiding Officer shall forthwith direct the Secretary to call the roll and shall announce the result, and these proceedings shall be without debate. 4. Whenever upon such roll call it shall be ascertained that a quorum is not present, a majority of the Senators present may direct the Sergeant at Arms to request, and, when necessary, to compel the attendance of the absent Senators, which order shall be determined without debate; and pending its execution, and until a quorum shall be present, no debate nor motion, except to adjourn, or to recess pursuant to a previous order entered by unanimous consent, shall be in order.

[OXENinFLA]

What is this GOING HOME stuff if you Dems Start a Filibuster you'd better be able to stay all night.

GO HATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaGrone]

Oh I see now. We have to listen indefinitely to a Senator who gave the press classified info, the Chappaquidick guy, Diane Frankenstein, and the idiot from NY who thinks he has a right to stop a nominee because that nominee doesn't think like he does.

WOW! And this is the 'Rats cream of the crop. This should cost them another three or four seats next election. HOORAY!!

[timydnuc]

Make the RATS do this thing the old time way. I 'snail mailed' both Norm Coleman (my new pubbie senator) and Bil Frist. I also emailed & called the White House to suggest that the President take the 'bully pulpit' and point out that there has never, in the history of the US Senate, been a filibuster of a judge at this level.

My part is done, I suggest all of we freepers do the same.

[dfwgator]

Say good-bye to the Hispanic vote, Rats.

[LdSentinal]

I hope Robert Byrd (D-KKK) speaks. It will probably give him warm feelings how he and Al Gore Sr. filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Byrd likes to filibuster minorities such as Estrada and then try to lure them to a tree while carrying a rope.

[solo gringo]

The demo has craped for years on the blacks now they are going to start to crap on the hispanics.Looks like they all like it because they vote for the demos,que pasa.

[snopercod]

This is so great! The RATS are alienating one of their core interest groups. Suicidal for the RATS, great for the country.

As we go to war, the RATS in the senate will be babbling to themselves and looking like the idiots they are.
