All night rave/reverse-filibuster in Senate

[Guest MikeSC]

Okay, I've done something I find myself doing a lot lately, throwing a subject into Google News and reading some of the more credible articles that come out (and believe me, Google reports every wacky left and right wing site out there as news.)

 

I understand what you guys are trying to say now. I don't exactly agree with it and I think you're just now pissed that it's happening to you, but I understand it. My big posting comparing what happened under Clinton to this has been removed, but I'm still curious what you guys consider never refusing a blue slip from a Judge's home state senator and thus never going to vote as being "beyond the Constitutional mandate for the Senate" or not.

Not voting on a blue ship judge is not a problem. That is simply a nicety offered to Senators. It is not required --- as SC learned when Strom's last blue slip judge was not given a hearing. They do get refused occasionally and well they should. Senators, just like anybody else, have inept friends.

 

Not getting out of committee sucks, but it's the process.

 

The filibuster goes a bit too far.
