"They don’t want to stop a few Bush judges. They want to stop them all"

After the current war....I feel this is the next BATTLE.

I still think it's past time.

OVERHAUL AND REMOVE WHOLESALE THE FILIBUSTER OPTION FOR JUDGES SO THAT THEY ARE ALL VOTED ON BY THE WHOLE SENATE UPON NOMINATION. THAT ALL THE COMMITTEE CAN DO IS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE SENATE.

AND CLEAN UP ALL THE OTHER PROCEDURAL JUNK.

WHAT A TRAVESTY!

Traitorous liberal idiots.

Please, Father, God, break this logjam and leave rotten eggs all over all the obstructionist liberals. In Jesus' Name.

The greatest long-term effect on our society will be the leanings of our federal judges. All American who support the underlying principles upon which our country is based should support President Bush’s judicial nominations.

Since the Democrats seem destined to pick up where Hussein left off, I suggest two words to end this shameful situation. Recess appointments! If the Democrats want to play hardball, lets play hardball.

I absolutely detest recess appointments, but what else is there to do. I would appoint them, then go on national televison and explain the need for it, showing the Democrats up for what they are.

I'd refer the public to a website that provided histories and credentials. Then let the Democrats explain their obstructionist B.S.

James Car-vile was right about one thing, this is definately war!

Already posted and under discussion HERE

All the pubbies have to do is end the fake filibuster. Make the Dems appear on the floor and talk for days on end. No other bills should be considered until they allow up or down votes. The pubbies are giving the crats a major pass by not forcing the issue.

It would appear that they still can't rent a backbone even after the leadership change.

The war is going very well. Yet I must continue to ask, "WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICANS AND BUSH PREPARED TO DO???"

They have NOT taken all the steps possible to ram these nominees through. They have not stopped all other Senate business. They have not threatened pork projects of Senate Democrats as far as I know. They have not forced the Senate to stay open 24 hours a day.

Bush is slowing losing the domestic agenda to a group of radical pro-abortionists. Roe v. Wade is all this is about, and if Bush wants a legacy he MUST find a way to get them through.

The Marines can take care of them, too.
