"The agreement signed by 14 senators said future judicial nominees should "only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances," with each Democratic senator holding the discretion to decide when those conditions had been met."
And would someone in this group of 14 slimeballs and lunatics like to define WHAT EXACTLY are "extraordinary circumstances" for me, please? I mean, since it's obviously not judges that burn flags... Must be those psychotic ones that think minors need parental permission to terminate pregnancies or something way out of the "main stream" like that. (Please not drippage of sarcasm.)
"Republicans said they would oppose any attempt to make changes in the application of filibuster rules.
"I don't like it. I think we should have an up-or-down vote on all of these fine individuals," Hutchison, R-Texas, told FOX News. "I do think, however, that it's not over. I do think there will be a chance some of these others [nominees] will be in that same position ... it's good news for three people who have waited patiently and who have not been treated well but it's not a principled decision … Democrats need to keep their word."
Wow, just when I thought good ol' Kay had fallen off the deep end lately, she does something good! You get 'em girl! Show 'em what Texans are made of!!!
..Bit naive, though, on the last bit...
"But Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist on Tuesday said the so-called "nuclear option" is by no means history if the "routine obstruction" he says has characterized the Democrats' behavior in regards to judges in the past few years continues. That option, called the "constitutional option" by Republicans, is what Frist threatened Democrats with in order to halt filibustering of judicial nominees so that the nominees could get an up-or-down vote.
"The constitutional option remains on the table ... I will not hesitate to use it if it's necessary, it will be used as a last resort," Frist vowed."
I'd say sometime around NOW is "last resort" time...
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid responded by saying: "I'm disappointed there's still these threats of the nuclear option, it's gone, let's do the Senate's business."
Personally, I think Frist can take "Dirty Harry"... Now THAT would be an interesting day of getting down to "business" in the Senate... ;) ;)
