Someone call C-SPAN and tell that ignorant Jeff Sessions

that Frist himself fillibustered a judge.

Why does he hate America?

because his own nomination to be a federal judge was rejected by the Senate.

it's "protecting the constitution and defending America".

When Democrats filibuster, it's "stalling the government" and "forcing their agenda on an America that spoke loud and strong in the last election that they want things done the republican. LOUD AND STRONG!" and "purely childish reaction to the fact that they lost" and "proves their utter disregard for the authority of the president and their unwillingness to work together with anyone."

the textile workers here AFTER they allowed their jobs to go to China and other countries. NOW we're supposed to believe that they think we need to be tougher in our trade policies. Let's burn down the house and yell fire when it's reduced to rubble.

Everyone in Alabama knows he's an idiot and we don't pay much attention to him.

I do like to call his office and say very sweetly, "I saw the Senator on the television again today. Please tell him not to do that. It's embarrassing for us back here at home." :D

who the heck votes this man into office?

after his name. Unfortunately, there are lots of them here. :(

Frist wasn’t always so opposed to filibustering judges. In 2000, he eagerly joined a coalition led by Bob Smith (R-New Hampshire) to fillibuster the nomination of Justice Richard Paez, who was nominated in 1996. The only saving grace is that Frist & co. were so out of the mainstream that the fillibuster failed and Paez was confirmed anyway.

The mention of the Clinton era suggests a potential solution to the crisis. Many of Clinton’s sixty unconfirmed nominees were blocked not by forty Senators, but by one, using a procedure known as an anonymous hold, or “blue-slipping.” (Judge Ronnie White, a moderate endorsed by Rush Limbaugh’s brother, was blue-slipped by a Senator later revealed to be John Ashcroft.)

The Democrats could agree not to filibuster any judges if the ability to blue-slip judges is restored. It would then take only one Democrat, not forty, to block all of Bush’s twenty egregious re-nominees—and many more besides. I wonder if the Republicans will take them up on it.
