* doesn't like that mean ol' "obstructionist" Edwards
Although Edwards is not specifically named in this article, we know he had a hand in the keeping the wingnuts who are named, off the bench. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be in the Dem. minority in the Senate right now. Despite their best efforts, this corrupt admin. finds another way to deteriorate the judiciary.

I so hope that Edwards will win the nomination and have full opportunity to tell the American people in language that they will understand what this kind of action means for their lives.

"And Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee (news - web sites), said, "Actions like this show the American people that this White House will stop at nothing to try to turn the independent federal judiciary into an arm of the Republican Party."

Besides Pickering and Pryor, Democrats also have used filibusters to block the Bush's appeals court nominations of Judge Priscilla Owen, Hispanic lawyer Miguel Estrada and judges Carolyn Kuhl and Janice Rogers Brown. Estrada withdrew his nomination in September.

1. Man, we have to get Bush out of office
Hopefully we can legally raise more then 45 million dollars because it is going to take ALOT more then that to do it!

2. One more reason to vote for Edwards.
Just imagine a Bush Supreme Court nominee!

We need to win in Novemeber and Edwards is the guy to do it.
