Sen. Inhofe (R-Okla) just now "filibuster... this is not going to happen"

[Hissyspit]

Said people get desperate when they're "liberal agenda" is under fire.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

1. Fuck you, Inhofe.

Fuck you, you heartless, misogynic, pitifully pathetic excuse for a human being.

:grr:

[madokie]

22. I second that

[Blue Poppy]

2. Abortion on demand....

he just reminded me that I need to make my appointment for my weekly abortion.
:sarcasm:

[wryter2000]

10. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[Vincardog]

3. It is because the LIBERRRRAL agenda is in the way.

It does not have anything to do with Commander Bunny Pants wanting to be above the law.

[HootieMcBoob]

17. I guess Justice Roberts is a proponent of the "liberal agenda"

He was confirmed.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. It's A Fairly Accurate Statement.

"liberal agenda" = "freedom, civil liberties and integrity"

So people generally should get desperate when those things are under fire.

[Justitia]

5. translation: "I'm shitting my pants, they might actually pull it off" nt

[radio4progressives]

6. i heard that and i gave him the finger and said fuck you! ( to my tv)

arrgghhh

[OKNancy]

7. He's the stupidest of all - really, he ranks

number one in stupid. He's a hateful, lazy, worthless piece of crap.

[Hissyspit]

14. He's rambling. Said some nonsense about how he would not hold future

Democrats to a "litmus test" if Democrats do it, because he won't stoop to their level.

Yeah, right.

Liar.

[HootieMcBoob]

19. The only litmus test is held by the far right that controls the gop

Remember Harriet Miers? Why wasn't she allowed an up or down vote? She was nominated by the President of the United States. Not one Democrat voted against her or suggested a filibuster. Why wasn't she even allowed to be voted on? These people are so full of shit it's pathetic. They are the biggest bunch of lying hypocrites imaginable.

[wryter2000]

8. You speak for Democrats now?

Asshole.

To tell you the truth, it sounds like whistling past the graveyard to me.

[El Supremo]

9. "I've been married 46 years...

and I do what I'm told."

Just like you do with the Repubic Party!

[Plaid Adder]

11. Yeah, let's remember he justified the Abu Ghraib torture.

Seriously:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/plaidder/04/22.html

"Of all the frightening things I've heard over the past two weeks, what scared me most was Senator Inhofe's performance on Tuesday morning...nothing could be worse than watching a United States senator get up in front of his colleagues, Major General Taguba, and the world, and use up his alloted time by delivering a long, loud, unrepentant justification of what was done to the prisoners at Abu Ghraib. According to him, apparently, as long as someone is suspected of having harmed the coalition forces, it is perfectly acceptable to strip him naked, put a bag over his head, and set the attack dogs on him.

This is acceptable, according to Senator Inhofe, because it's not as bad as what Saddam Hussein used to do. He went so far as to say that he had no doubt every prisoner in Abu Ghraib woke up every morning "thanking Allah" that the Americans were running the prison and not Saddam Hussein, because we haven't - so far as anyone knows - resorted to doing things like putting an electric drill through a prisoner's hand, or cutting off body parts.

So this is where public discourse in this country is now. It's all right for us to torture people, as long as we don't torture them quite as depravedly as Saddam Hussein did."

So. He's not from my planet, I'm not taking his advice.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[DemInDistress]

12. he's scared shit...so he floats bogus claims...alito is out !!!

FILIBUSTER THIS GUY TO DEATH,,,.... DEMS IN DC TODAY DREW THE LINE AND OPPOSED THE JUDGE WHO PERMITS STRIP SEARCHING 10 YEAR OLD GIRLS.... ALITO FOUND OUT TO BE A PERVERT HIMSELF..

[calazini]

13. that's what you think!

Does anyone give a crap what this asshole thinks? I sure as hell don't.

[Blue Poppy]

15. It's painful listening to this idiot...

who's up next? Anyone know?

(plus he has a pronunciation problem, kinda like *)

[Botany]

16. Come on Sen. Inhofe ..... get on record support Alito.

Alito is perjurer. End of story.
He promised NOT TO SIT ON ANY CASES THAT REGARDED VANGUARD (HE HAD ALMOST $500,000
OF STOCK WITH THEM) BUT WHEN A CASE THAT PERTAINED TO VANGUARD CAME IN FRONT OF
HIS COURT .... HE HEARD IT AND RULED IN FAVOR OF VANGUARD.

That is the story we need to get out.

[politicat]

18. Blah, blah, blah.... As long as he babbles, there's no cloture vote.

I love the mute button. I feel sorry for the senators in the room who have to listen to him, though.

[LSK]

20. cloture vote is officially at 4:30pm on Monday

Frist announced it a few hours ago.

[mvd]

21. LOL

I say they're desperate that the word filibuster was even used. Remember, this is an election year, and their extreme agenda will be out there to see.

[Hissyspit]

23. Sen. Jeff Sessions: Bush and policy had nothing to do with Abu Ghraib

torture. If he actually believes that he is an idiot. Of course, he may not actually believe that, he's just saying that.

[AZBlue]

24. He made my skin crawl.

[Hissyspit]

25. He is like something from a horror movie! n/t
