force Harry Ried be the one to pull the nuclear trigger…of course it’ll never happen because we’ll have Lindsey Graham pontificating about what a disgraceful pick the nominee is just before he votes to send him to the bench!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

…But, seriously – why should we care?!

We all *know* that the Senate GOP will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about things like this. There will be no filibuster. There will be no retaliation on the GOP side. And, in fact, probably up to 10 GOP Senators will even vote for every nominee like this (and worse).

This really is an “elections have consequences” result.
And not just Obama’s and Reid’s and Pelosi’s elections. It’s also the election of every “comity is the most important aspect of the Senate!1!” old coot that is presently a member of the Senate’s GOP caucus.

The horse is already out of the barn on this kind of thing. And it will take at least 3 years (more like 6+ on the Senate GOP end…) to fix it.

There’s almost no point in talking about it until election season…

The Dems are good political tacticians. With such an overwhelming majority in the Senate, they are packing the judiciary.

Are we surprised by this?

For those R and Independent voters in VA, NC, MT, NH, NM, CO, WA, MO and elsewhere who chose to SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER in the 2006 and 2008 elections, and express their displeasure with the GOP by voting against sitting GOP Senators—-well, this is what you get.

If you get buyers remorse after electing a member of the House of Representatives, you can fix your mistake two years later. Not so for the Senate.

By the time we get our next real chance to take back the Senate (2012?), expect Pat Leahy and Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer—cold, calculating political tacticians all—to have packed the federal benches as fully as possible with ACLU acolytes. All with lifetime appointments.

It stinks, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We should expect a hostile federal judiciary for the next decade, at least. Let’s hope we plan our legislative strategies accordingly.

for a change. Craig Williams looks like a darn good prospect. Please go here- http://www.votewilliams2010.com/about to make up your own mind. I for one will support him. Furry Murry needs to go.

Any help from everyone would be great.

I plan to let my Senators in Florida know my opposition to this appointment. I am personally familiar with a then Attorney Butler when he defended homicide cases for the State Public Defenders Office in Milwaukee and later when he became a judge in Milwaukee’s Municipal Court. Liberal Louis was never a match in the homicide cases he defended in that he could not defeat the……..truth! He later was a Circuit Judge in Milwaukee County and then went on to the Wisconsin Supreme Court where he endeared himself so much he was subsequently defeated in Wisconsin, a state I believe to be as blue as blue can be. Why would we want him returned to the judiciary through the “back door of political appointment”! How sad it is and how sad it will be if such appointments are not strongly opposed.

the meaning of FASCISM in the dictionary and you will see, it is alive and well in D.C. It wouldn’t be a problem, if it only affected the hot air bags, but it effects all of us! KICK THE BUMS OUT for breaking their oath of office, to protect and defend the Constitution of the U.S. from all enemies, from without and within, our borders. This is but one more example of the elitism embedded in our Congress today.
Clean sweep the house, dust out the Senate, but don’t forget the bureau’s where the czar’s and others are, bring us back, to,a Government of ,by and for the People!

Support our troops!
