1. Congress is now officially irrelevant.

They should pack up their tents and head home. Right after Bushie's coronation ceremony.

3. their bags will be packed for them.

wait and see.
when martial law comes down, congress will be closed for business.

4. Martial law?

Oh come on. Why would martial law need to be declared?

Are you planning something, shall we say, revolutionary?

5. martial

9. Oh, well..

When you spell it THAT way... it make more sense.

[Lerkfish]

10. nope, I'm not planning anything. The Bush administration is.

and you know where you can shove your accusation.

ah, I see you were tombstoned.
appropriate.

[Vickers]

12. You got something against revolutions?

:shrug:

Oh, and welcome to DU yadda yadda etc.....

[Laelth]

2. I thought the vote was ...

58-42.

Did I see that wrong?

(Not that it matters, really. Alito's still on the bench, and it's clear we had enough votes to filibuster. We were betrayed.)

8. I don't think this vote suggests anything about a filibuster's potential

for success. Alot of those "no" votes were nothing but political posturing from people like Lieberman. People who voted "yes" for cloture but "no" on comfirmation. Just putting up their fake front.

Of course, I wish they'd tried one anyway. Much better to put up a fight and lose than to whimper in a corner and lose. Fight and others will follow.

11. You're right -- I had a case of typing dyslexia

My apologies

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. Republicans are gloating now on CSPAN

:puke:

I wonder if the single Republican who voted No will be invited to the festivities.

7. Don't blame me I voted for Senator Kerry. (nt)
