TheAnvil 0 #1 May 10, 2005 I just read another news article about judicial filibusters. There has not been a filibuster - merely the threat of one. If the Republicans are serious about wanting the judges confirmed, they would call the Dems on their bluff and force a true filibuster. It's the smart thing to do politically as well, because then the whole nation could watch the Dems making fools of themselves filibustering on national television whilst important issues linger. Force the issue and make them actually filibuster and get the judges an up or down vote on the Senate floor. This should have been done a long time ago. I'm sick of seeing articles on the issue and even sicker of all the mindless attempted borking of the judges in question. Oh yeah. I'm a JACKASS [/rant]Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #2 May 10, 2005 Yes, they should force the issue. But it's hardly any different from the shit the GOP did during Clinton's terms. They both know the tit for tat game and it's going to continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #3 May 10, 2005 This is true. It's quite funny that several senators who were quite eloquently pontificating about the need for a full senate vote for every nominee a few years ago are now totally against it. Still, disgusting. It was wrong then and now. Give 'em a vote, dammit. I am a drunken JACKASS Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
