John McCain is worried that we will regret this because we won't be able to filibuster in the future. But since we never have filibustered a judge, I say let's take the chance.

I wrote Senator Frist last January after Arlen Specter started his bullshit in the very first hearing he chaired after he was confirmed. Frist was in the mid-east playing doctor. I told him we have to fight like they fight, and the Senate decorum is a distant, secondary consideration. Donks never stopped to consider it. Majority leader Klansman never let old, traditional Senate rules get in his way. He changed them in just this fashion three or four times.

Anyway, I pointed out that Frist should have known Specter wasn't trustworthy. That he's a fucking democrat. That he voted against extremely important Republican nominations. I told him that he isn't buying himself or the party any goodwill with the Donks by acting with decency and honor in seating Specter--or any other endeavor, for that matter--because they don't think that way. Honor equals foolish to Donks.

I told him his inability to hold the line on that fucking Specter makes him a wimp and that I knew he was going to be a wimp because I knew he wouldn't fight like a Donk.

But I didn't say "fucking."

Better not be a bluff. The Specter bluff was quite enough.

I sent an email letter to every single Republican Senator. Not that I thought it was going to do any good. Just wanted to get a few things of my chest. Basically telling them, politely, that they were a bunch of chicken shit jerks. I sent money to some of these jack offs specifically to avoid this judicial crap. I said that I'm a single mom of two boys and I'm not rich. Was my money wasted? I could have spent that money on my children. Thanks for nothing. Then finished with where are the President Ronald Reagans when you need them to straight out these asses!

Senator Lincoln Chaffee's office sent me back a message that they were going to ensure that Pres. Bush gets his nominees. Senator Arlen Specter's office gave me the whole we don't want to make any waves crap. Surprisely consistent and disappointingly so was Senator Norm Coleman's office. I think he wants to be President some day. Think again, dude! He's office responded in fricking circular reasoning. I read it 3 times and he never made a commitment either way. Basically the same crap as Senator Specter...Oh, we don't want to do anything that might be used against us at a later date. Shit...come to think of it... that sounds like the psudeo-republican, definitely democratic Senator McCain. And finally, to no one's surprise, Senator Bill Frist. Basic same 'ol, same 'ol.

My take, this bunch are too chicken shit to go through with their threats. And least you forget it... Dem's know, that we know, that they know, they aren't going to go through with it. So the dems will most assuredly call their bluff.

Terri...at least you got some response.

I wrote a letter to my own stinking senator, Olympia Snowe, and have thus far gotten nothing in response.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. Senator Snowe is...a bit unconcerned with what her constituents actually think.

Slublog,

Don't feel bad! I didn't even send a letter to my senators. Why? Because I live in the fucking state of California. I usually call up Barbara Boxers office in CA (not DC). I don't call Feinstein because, to her credit, her staff are always respectful and agreeable. It's hard to get angry at someone whose agreeable you know? Whether they do anything about it or not. But Boxer's office... Hell, there always good to go. Their always up for a challenge. And I love to call up and ruin her staffs day!

Sad I only get replies from Senators I'll never be able to vote for, unless they run for the highest office in the land....

But since we never have filibustered a judge, I say let's take the chance

Is that true RWS? If so, I say lets go for it.

Seems like the new Dem strategy, keeping all the tools that benefit them in the game. Like pushing to allow ex-cons to vote. I'm sure they wouldn't be concerned about it if it didn't benefit them directly.
