Hey, what happened to the 'Up or Down Vote'
Edited on Thu Oct-27-05 01:01 PM by Check12
I thought every judicial nominee deserved and up or down vote!
Well, so much for that talking point when they come with a nominee that will bow to their will. It's going to go nuclear in the senate and I say good. Dems we must unite and drive the stake into the heart of this administration. You know that shrub now has no choice but to nominate a zealot and we have no choice but to fight!

1. Sen. leaders (Repug) met with Bush and told them they did not want
to see a vote in the Senate. I think this was in the Wash Post a few days ago.

3. Republicans are obviously prejudiced against Christian Ladies
That's what I say.

5. Apparently
It's not quite the sacrosanct procedure they were all squawking about back at the time of the Bolton nomination. Pulls the fang on that talking point for next time.
