3. 28-8

Where are the Dems?? This is crazy!!

[debbierlus]

5. There is no excuse for them not filibustering - NONE

I have not seen one good reason posted on the board in defense of the dems not filibustering. NOT ONE.

And, a no vote offers NO political cover for those who did not filibuster. In my eyes, a no vote is the same as a yes vote.

4. For those who understand history -after this comes a new version

of something like the Third Reich's Enabling Act, imo.

6. Most Americans don't know history other then who won American Idol

Last season...

Disgusting.

[WinkyDink]

8. If THAT.

Try asking which name they recognize: William Hung or Richard Cheney?

[Richard Steele]

7. I agree. It will be as bad, or worse.

Within a year, they will be "amending" the Constitution
to suit their whims...and the SC will just rubberstamp it all.

The Great American Experiment is over today.

9. The 'peace in our time' democrats

Lets call them, the vote yes on cloture, "Chamberland Democrats".

10. the repubs took over SCOTUS when chimpy was declared winner in 2004

You become president, you get to name SCOTUS justices, particularly when you also control a majority of the Senate.

It sucks, but its been inevitable for a while.
