'Help'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So their assumption is that they'll have the majority 4evah?
I think it's being done for immediate political gain. The republican leader in the Senate (Bill Frist) is wanting to mount a presidential run in '08 and is under a lot of pressure from the religious right to make this move.
What it comes down to is that there are 10 judical nominees that the Democrats are threatening to fillibuster
Of course they blocked like 60 of Clinton's. Yes, this is very shortsighted since I fully expect the Republicans to lose their power position. (And don't dare disagree with me)

Yes, that.
I wonder if Cobert's thing about congress's "separation... and POWER" is still on line.
Which is what Senate Democrats (including my own Senators) tried to do, back in 96, or so.
A few of them anyway. In this case, there's a pretty decent chance it will happen. I don't think they ever had the numbers back then.
I made it to the post office this afternoon. It took me 45 minutes to mail 3 packages. I forgot that it was passport season. Grr. Next time I bring my own packaging and use the automated doohickey.

I think the Republicans are being as dirty as mud about this. I also think the Democrats are more shocked than they ought to be, that there's gambling in Casblanca.
Now the nuclear option part of it is interesting. The phase was coined by Trent Lott, used by Bill Frist, but recently the republicans have tried to move away from that phase and accuse Democrats of calling it the nuclear option.
Opportunity lost. I should have said the Republicans were being as dirty as a dirty bomb.

This is the party that back-dated the 2001 stock market drop by a couple of years, so I'm not terribly suprised.
Yeah. And the party that denied that they ever said that Iraq was an immediate threat.
