3. The fact that so many voted "No" or "I don't know" reflects perfectly on..
Edited on Wed Jan-11-06 09:08 PM by Selatius
how far right this nation, as well as the Democratic Party, has been pulled.

6. Sen. Box turtle Cornyn said he will be, but with less than the 78 votes
that Roberts received. Hell, yes, it matters. Say hello to Emperor Bush** and goodbye to your rights, destroyed by a unitary executive Dimson** and his minions. I need a drink.

8. Ill tell you the answer when I find out
if we have enough votes to filibuster this creep.

IMO I feel there are a few Dems in name only who will vote scalito in , like those who voted for the bankruptcy bill and CAFTA.

9. I see him breezing right on in.
With little opposition. I'm slowly coming around to thinking that the game is over and America is gone. I don't want it to be true and I keep hoping that the November elections will prove me wrong but I am very cynical now. November is our very last chance.

10. The democrats will probably cave in
I voted yes, but my heart is saying no. Bush wants him so he will vote to let him have unlimited power; and to withhold elections while a war is in progress; hence, we will have perpetual war.
Oh, how I'd like to be wrong about this! :headbang:

24. I say it will mainly be a party line vote.
Yes, there might be some defections on either side, but it will mainly be a party line vote. The margin of votes will probably be as close as the margin of votes in the Thomas confirmation vote.

25. Yes
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 07:54 PM by fujiyama
I would say that more or less all hope is lost for the next 25 years.

Hey, and I thought the country dodged a bullet when Bush did not get the chance to appoint a SC justice. Once Bush got another term though, it was quite obvious the nation was fucked for atleast another quarter century.

Insisted. I think they may win again.
