Bill Clinton had 63 judicial nominess blocked.

Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 01:19 AM by Liberal_Guerilla

That's what Barbara Boxer just said on the Bernie Ward show www.kgoam810.com . Not to mention numerous filibusters against Clintons' nominees. So what's all this fuss about four whacko judicial nominees?

It seems to me that Republicans are not only bullies, liars and murderes, but also big whiners. Don't we have bigger issues to deal with? This reminds me of the freedom fries fiasco.

1. That's why they call US whiners...

They can always be counted on to project their negatives onto us.

What percentage of nominees were approved during Clinton's tenure? Does anyone know? We need to know so we can promptly strike down the rethugs when they start in with 98% (of *'s nominees) not being good enough.

4. I think that when Clinton left office

there were still 63 judicial seats unfilled. And that was after eight years not three.

3. They didn't filibuster.

They simply wouldn't even give them a hearing. The last filibuster was in the 80s correct me if I'm wrong on that...

5. Clairification: "they simply"

What I meant by that was not that it was somehow better - in fact it was much worse. Shameful in fact.

6. Dems say "We confirmed 98 percent of Bush's judges..."

"...and all we got were these lousy T-shirts."

Priceless. Keep up the fight y'all. Funny how the Repubs can hold a 30 hour debate on 4(!) judges, but wouldn't dare have a debate on going to war in Iraq or an independent 9/11 investigation.
