There should be a pool. First who caves first? Second, when. First one past the post on both of these should win something. I say that the Republicans cave in that they move onto other biz. or break for the recess. I say that they do this on Monday. I hope that they do not. Actually, would'nt it be great if Bush had the guts to withdraw Estrada and then nominate him for the very FIRST SC vacancy and then when the Dems howl about his zero experience on the bench, he and the Republicans could say, "Yeah well, it would be nice had he sat on the bench for two years, but this is really your issue since you denied him the seat..."
Actually ha ha, this won't happen and I support Justice Brown being tagged for the first vacancy.
Hmmm.... are you sure Corzine is talking about Estrada? Are you sure the filibuster is happening? Maybe the GOP caved and allowed the Dems to move onto other issues.
I thought during a filibuster the speeches had to be germaine to the issue at hand, although then why would Senators in the past be allowed to read the phone book. I am confused...
