The 30-Hour Marathon on 4 out of 172 Bush Judicial Nominees Rejected #2

Other thread was getting long.

Feinstein up, showing that Republicans have done secret filibusters of one or two... wouldn't even grant Clinton nominees a hearing.

point by point. Very simple for pea brained freepers to understand, eh?

to demanding for their pea brains.

she brings up the time Trent Lott waited until the Judge (forgot his name) was actually phsically ON the Senate floor and he stopped the process... made the Judge look like a fool...

from one of the chorus of Jesus Christ Superstar... Yo, Diane

"Crucify him... crucify him"

...in regard to Justice White from Missouri.

Ashcroft supported him in Committee and then railroaded him on the floor. It was an absolute disgrace.

Funny, the Republicans seem to have forgotten all about that when they're jumping all over Democrats for being anti-black because they have the nerve to object to one black nominee.

Send a case of Pampers to the Senate Republicans.

Or a box of pacifiers.

Glasses of warm milk all around?

A squadron of matronly ladies in house dresses and aprons to stroke their little balding pates and say, "There, there"?

You GO girl.

Pointing out about the unfinished VA/HUD Appropriations bill.

n/t

mop the floor with them!

how embarassing for the thugs. Oops, they are beyond embarassing.

meanest, snarkiest rightwing assholes ever to come out of the senate. I have seen him treat Senator Byrd with total disregard and utter disrespect on the Defense Finance Committee in recent months. He's the pitts, keep your eye on him tonight.

But I guess he was chosen well by the majority party. He's crusty and odious.

by repubs for their 30 hour filibuster on judges.

This is hardball!!!

and send messages of support tonight. Individual emails to Senators are fine. But is there some central Dem Senate place for us to write to the Senate?

Blocking 2.3% of Bush's judicial nominees is "obstruction," while spending eight years investigating a Democratic president, and then wasting valuable time impeaching him (on bullshit charges) is a "search for the truth."

Of course, the Repubs object. :puke:

Who looks like a giant ass now?

What a GREAT LINE!

love, love love him. He's pissed that the republicans wouldn't do the work that needed to be done for the VETERANS!

Jobs issue...excellent. 9 million unemployed.



FOX NEWS!!! Again. OMG!! This is perfect. The repubs bit off more than they can chew. They look like fools.

168-4....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

Go Durbin!

I am just in awe of him and the absolute clarity he is bringing to this debacle.

if it were in chat room format!!!

I'm sure we could all probably get on EFnet (IRC), and sit in a channel.

1) Go to www.mirc.co.uk
2) Download the program, and install it.
3) Run it, and select a username.
4) Type /server irc.esper.net
5) Upon connecting, in the same window, type /join #democraticunderground

Edit: Changed servers.

maybe you could read up a little and download mIRC software. It's an easy to use chat software that's been around for years and years. http://www.mirc.com/ There are other chat formats. But mIRC is easy to use.

I've heard this same spill from him at eight times and it never varies.

should I have held my breath and turned blue? hahahaha! He's good.

their nominiees through, and we lost 68, we're here to grind raw meat for the Fair and Balanced netowrk and the talk show hosts having more to blather on about.

...EVERY BUSH NOMINEE is a member of the Federalist Society.

GO DURBIN!!!

2%...HOLDING UP THE NATIONS BUSINESS for 2% of the nominations offered, 100% of which are members of the Federalist Society.

just made me pee myself... when he said fair and balanced

n/t

We're here to grind raw meat for the RW Fox News! Holy Shit!

We don't have time for this.

EDIT: Sessions, not Hatch.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

n/t

What an obnoxious whiny man. He has a grating voice....MUTE!

nice try butthole

pass the popcorn... look at the funny little republicans nuke themselves...

no shit. They are so pathetic.

Must be his first time.

I've just tuned in but your posts have me caught up.:yourock:

My G-D. I can't believe he said that with a straight face.

Believe it. And he complained about Bush I's nominees.

n/t

you must mean his Thorazine :)

The dems haven't nominated one, two, three, FOUR!

Evil ACLU... evil.

I'm a ACLU contributor all the way.

what the hell is up with Arlen's hair?

n/t

I turned it on mute while Sessions was talking.

confirmation process trumps the business of the country, however.

OMG he just shot himself in his own foot

98% to 59% that sure is fair and balanced.

He brought up Reid, complained about him holding up Senate business.

Hey, Magic Bullet, he wouldn't have done that if you idiots weren't going to pull this bullshit!

:boring:

:boring:

Specter is no Byrd. He needs to sit his cheeks down.

regarding Clinton's confirmations, did u all miss that?

a temper tantrum cause they can't get their own way... even when they are in the majority

I would.

what did he say? My son was talking to me. Grrrrrrrr.

n/t

this would be a great sitcom or I'm sure a SNL skit.

of the Senate has this happened... I'll scream... They didn't mind making history when they impeached Clinton for getting a BJ...

(yes I know... old news but it still sticks in my craw)

I get up to use the bathroom and come back to some guy not getting arrested? :wtf:

now. Please!

n/t

Durbin rocked the house, though.

n/t

wait, he used a big word! Nostradamus!!! wow! :boring:

I am SURE Hannity will blaber about that tomorrow.

I wonder what she'll have to say about the judges being confirmed in her husbands administration?

another loser trying to discredit the numbers. Numbers don't lie, liars lie.

He just called this session a MARATHON.

Spector says he hopes this MARATHON attracts ATTENTION.

Repeating Durbin calling this MARATHON nothing but THEATER.

He's basically repeating the Democratic Talking Points regarding this stupid session.

Well, this person wants him to go away!

n/t

Does he ever have anything to say? I swear, he's got to be the most boring senator in the Senate.

Comparing the fillibuster to going thru a stop sign? This guy would send Jesus to a bar stool!

A junior senator without a brain. Cornyn believes he special cuz junior and him are from Texas.

the Senate Leader what we wanted....by 60%....but, of course, he ignored that! LOSER!

It means that they're not right-wing kooks!

what about the 68 blue slipped by you thugs scumbag?

not 168-4 but 0-4 according to the Constitution. Huh? It's not right, it's not fair (wha wha) - ooohhhhh - he said downward spiral!!!!

since 1789? for crissakes... just cause he was born then...

talk about going for the hail mary... can we get 60 votes together here to shut these screballs up?

on filibusters....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You did it first so you are wrong! waaaaaaaaaaaaah! unbelievable.

What that says is that the option of using a filibuster is very seldom used. Apparently, it's only been used during the administration of the only president that was appointed instead of elected.

Bad, bad democrats! :spank:

public speaking. All 10's to Thugs 7's.

think he'll mention Thurmond's MARATHON filibuster?

for almost 24 hours, wasn't it?

to be exact

want some cheese with that whine Cornyn?

fools

Then why is Jr in the WH? Can't believe they'd tout it that way.

What about the damned Patriot Act, asshole?

And who are the southern politicians now..why the republicans. Those southern dem from the 30's-60's went to the other party.

Revisionist history.

I've never every seen Zell Miller on the floor in the senate and I watch it daily.

deleted because of its idiosyncrasy.

to filibuster their RW judges but they can spend 8 damn years and $60,000,000 to investigate Clinton. THAT'S OK. :eyes:

Not KBH - bleeech! I have got to move out of Texas.

so Britt Hume could televise it.

Sad and hilarious at the same time.

He is nauseating!

He's whining about how Democrats are "abusing" the Constitution. Remember, these Republicans are the same assholes who absued the impeachment clause by trying to remove a twice-elected president over a silly sex scandal in 1998, got their buddies on the Supreme Court to shut down the Florida recount (preventing the winner of the 2000 election from taking office), and just last month abused the recall provision in California so they could remove a twice-elected governor and replace him with an illiterate movie star. Not to mention the redistricting fiasco in Texas.

Now they're outraged because we dare to use the filibuster to stop their extreme judicial nominees? Give me a break.

time to visit Max Factor honey, and do something about that necklace. And WHERE IS YO FLAG PIN BIATCH?

Talking about adhering to the Constitution 100%.

How'd she vote on the Patriot Act and Iraq Resolution again...?

Objection.....Surprise! The senate is a farce! How true. :nuke:

as he wonders why the people feel so disconnected from the govt, I want to smack him. His bloodless perusal of that puzzle gives a clue to the problem.
