168-4 (What are we going to do with these Republicans?)
Posted: Nov 13th 2003, 1:56 am
So the Republicans are holding a 30 hour marathon, trying to bully the Democrats into letting them vote the 4 ultra conservative judges into the nations courts.
I think I heard they are doing it to make a point on how the democrats are using filibusters to block these nominations. Boo Hoo. I'm watching some of it on CSPAN now, and the Democrats are wiping the floor with them. Really showing how absolutely childish the R's are being. The Democrats have allowed votes on 168 other judges, but won't allow these 4. 98%. 98%. And its not enough for the R's. They're pitching a fit. And spending 30 hours (using our $$$) pitching this fit.
They forget they only hold 51% of the congress. They really really need to remember that those 49% have a voice too. And that voice is mopping the floor with them tonight. How childish of the R's. Shame on them.
Majority rule, Minority rights. The majority needs to remember the minority has rights. And the fact that they don't hold the majority by much, so they better f##kin act like it!
