Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) has put an extraordinary “blanket hold” on at least 70 nominations President Obama has sent to the Senate, which means no nominations can move forward unless Senate Democrats can secure a 60-member cloture vote to break it, or until Shelby lifts the hold.

Don’t worry about it Mr. President. You don’t need to negotiate on anything. You won.

[A. Morgan]

It’s about time the demoRATs experience some of there own procedures. How does it feel, now, to be on the receiving end?

Looks like Scottie Brown is going to be busy......

Already posted this on another thread:

It appears that the projects were initially funded and then 0bama in one of his "anti-Southern hissy-fits" has de-funded them or given the money to some other State or entity [presumably a State or Entity who supports his Liberal cause of Redistributed wealth].

How about ALL of us send a postcard to our Congress members asking them to uphold the Constitution. Article 1, Section 9: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

Taxpayers Need To INSIST That A regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

Thank you, Senator Shelby from Alabama. You are smart and acting in a remarkable way in this uncertain time.

Brave, indeed. No doubt you will be pummeled by the progressives and President Obama.

Stand strong and stand tall. You are my hero today.

God bless You Senator Shelby, in Jesus name, amen.

Way to go Sen Shelby! Please keep the hold on the rat bastard demoRAT appointees by 0bozo the commie pig! Don’t cave in!

[Snickering Hound]

The Rino twins from Maine will cave...

Thank you Senator Shelby for doing what we elected you to do- uphold the Constitution. If other Republicans would follow suit,we could change things.

[MarvelynLouise]

That’s a great suggestion! If it would help, oh wait! We have sent letters, faxes and e-mails to the White House! Nevermind.

When a Republican shows some cojones we need to give em a call!
