Republicans do not see the contradiction in their arguments..

[kentuck]

...over the filibuster... Will George Bush be the only president to get all his judicial appointment thru? Why is that? The Repubs argue that the rule has always been there for an "up or down" vote for judges. IF that were the case, why did Clinton, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, and every other president in history not get all their nominations thru?? Because they are changing the rules...and they are lying about it. The Great Leader, for the first time in history, will get all his judges? Why?

1. Good point Kentuck

I've been "seeing red" over the Up or down vote Bull and it completely blinded me to that contradiction......

[CWebster]

2. Because they are so brazen

they believe they operate above the rule of law and without any accountabilty.

[RobertSeattle]

3. Lifetime appointments should require a supermajority to get through

These yahoos are going to change their tune so fast it will feel like whiplash when the DEM's control the Presidency and the Senate soon...

[kentuck]

6. Probably between the November of the election and January...

when the new majority will take over.

[tritsofme]

10. I agree with you, but the Constitution should be amended

to that end.

Just the same as if the Republicans want to get rid of the judicial filibuster, they should formally change the rules.

4. Dubya wants to be a dictator and dictators get everything they want

[Wapsie B]

5. People like Bob Dole have come out and warned the neocons

about going too far with this. What they love now may very well bite them in the ass big time down the road.

[SCDem]

8. Well Elizabeth Dole is still Senator for NC

has he told his wife this. Does she plan on voting against the filibuster.... I bet not.

[leftofthedial]

7. because since the coup of 2000

there are no rules

and reality is inoperative to the religiously insane.

[TheGunslinger]

9. Because they want "MORE POWER! ARR! ARR! ARR!"

[Jade Fox]

11. They believe they are at the beginning of The Thousand Year Reign....

of Conservatism, and that no Democrat will ever be elected President
again. Seriously. These guys have bought their own bull, and think the
only reason someone like Clinton got elected twice was because of
the "liberal media". Now that they've got the media under control, they
think the entire US population will reveal its true identity as
religious-based conservatives.

Its hard to say which is stronger in the Neocons: arrogance or stupidity.
