[theboss]

1. I've lost track...which one was she?

Was she part of the deal?

[endarkenment]

2. shes part of the damn deal

and arguably the worst of the lot, although its hard to tell.

[theboss]

4. so....why are we surprised?

We knew this would happen.

[endarkenment]

6. I am not surprised I am disgusted.

What exactly was the upside of this deal? Oh never mind, we've hashed this all out and nobody is going to change his mind.

[paineinthearse]

22. The "deal" did not include Dems crossing over the aisle to side with the

rethugs.

Notice who the are, the DINO's, the usual demo lites.

Remember their names when they ask for cash or your support for re-election.

At least Feinstein voted "no"

[Freddie Stubbs]

29. Byrd is a 'DINO' and a 'demo lite?'

:shrug:

[Goldeneye]

5. Maybe she's the one that won't pass?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. All three will pass.

The "One nominee is in trouble" was just cheese for the trap.

[elperromagico]

3. Yes, she was. n/t

[KoKo]

11. that explains why Byrd had to vote for her. He brokered the deal and

he's a "man of his word." Maybe a few of the others were involved with saving the Filibuster and they had to join in.

I wish they had allowed the filibuster to go down and just walked out of the Senate in protest. But, I guess they felt "anarchy" would be unwise and dangerous. I hope to hell these ten didn't promise to go along with
putting Olsen or Asscroft on the Supreme Court though.

I hope that would go to far even for them in being true to a bargain. Sheesh.....

[rhett o rick]

17. Edited message cause i was wrrrong. The Deal was not to filibuster

making it necessary to vote for cloture. He doesn't however have to vote for her confirmation. That's where we will see whose side who is on.

[KoKo]

18. Ahhhh the "Cloture Vote." That makes a difference. I can't bear to watch

C-Span for these votes so thought it was the final vote. :crazy:

[genius]

15. She's totally pro-corporation and anti-freedom

Check out the PFAW site. They have a nice write up on her. If a corporation decides to kill it's retiring employees, based on her past history, she would rule that they had the Constitutional right to do so. She has never ruled against a corporation.

[Al-CIAda]

7. Here come the corporations, and there goes the pathetic excuse for a party

that claims to be for the people.

:nuke:

[acmejack]

8. We will see why the 10th is the second most important court.

Not a single vandal crossed party lines. Terrific...

[Plausible]

9. She's the one who

said senior citizens are cannibals on their grandchildren.
who said housing assistance for low income elderly and disabled unconstitutional.
Brown opposed effort to prevent sale of cigarettes to children.

Brown said age discrimination is not discrimination.

Voted against striking down a state anti-discminiaton law that provided a contraceptive drug benefit to women.

Brown said county did not have a right to sue electric utility for price fixing.
Brown the only member of the court to find a jury should not hear expert testimony in a domestic violence case about battered women's syndrome.

[Kindigger]

12. But , but, but.....

she's the daughter of a sharecropper! :silly:

[second edition]

10. I just hope it stops at three!

It bothers me to give them even an inch because they will use it against us later on.

[fujiyama]

26. Maybe

she should have been born a few generations ago - her along with Clarance Thomas, and maybe then she would have seen what their ancestors faced.

Knowing them, they would excuse the oppression and justify it.

[flpoljunkie]

13. The vote has been delayed until tomorrow at 5PM as Dems will use all the

time alloted to continue to oppose her. Kennedy is speaking against her nomination on the Senate at this very moment.

Not all those who voted for cloture, will be voting for Brown--most, perhaps all, will vote against her in the "up or down vote" tomorrow.

[MsUSA]

14. I'm really annoyed with some Dems talking about how they oppose

her but will vote for her anyway, it's a waste of time. D*mn I wish they'd have some balls and just stand up for the little guy just once, and I'm still so pissed about that bankruptcy bill.

[flpoljunkie]

16. Think it was Lindsay Graham who implied that Rogers could lose "up or

down vote." We will see tomorrow. When George Will says Rogers is "out of the mainstream," she is obviously way out of the mainstream.

Me, too, about the bankruptcy bill. If the Democrats do not introduce legislation to ameloriate some of its worst aspects, they can expect their grassroots fund raising to continue to be less than it should be.

[Vinca]

19. It would be nice if the Democrats would stick together, but in the end

it doesn't really matter. The pukes have the votes, we don't, bend over and take it. Maybe when they vote on her nomination some Republicans and all Democrats will vote "no." That's when it counts. (I know . . . I'm dreaming.)

[paineinthearse]

25. It's possible, don't lose faith

Snow, Collins, Hagle, Chaffee, perhaps a couple more.

[Spectral]

20. sorry to be ignorant, but what is "cloture"?

Thanks.

[theboss]

21. The end of debate

A vote cannot take place until debate is closed via cloture (60 votes).

Tomorrow, the up or down vote takes place (50 votes).

[flpoljunkie]

23. I think you meant to type she needs 51 votes to be confirmed.

[theboss]

24. Yes...sorry

51.

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. They are simply abiding by the agreement that was made

to avert the nuclear option. You didn't expect them to break their word, did you?
