It is becoming clear the democrats have no broad support in the country for their pathetic delaying tactics. After Dysmal Durbin’s slander on our military produced polls showing only the hard core liberals sided with him, Durbin was forced to retreat and show the dems are now the party of Silly Exaggerations (think Monty Python’s […]

I have been rooting for quite a wile for Justice Janice Rogers Brown to be one of Bush’ first nominees to the supreme court, for a variety of reasons. I admire her life story, I support her views on most matters and I respect her judicial philosophy. I like the fact she is a an […]

Sorry for the light posting today – lots of meetings today, all day. The Supreme Court’s decision on eminent domain, while completely unconstitutional and dispicable, gave the GOP a huge advantage in the upcoming Supreme Court judicial nomination fights. All the GOP has to do is point to the ruling as ‘extraordinary circumstances’ to fight […]

The rumors are out again that Rehnquist will announce his retirement Monday. Which means the final stage for testing the Gang of 14 deal is coming soon RedState is now hearing from sources that the Bush adminstration does, in fact, expect Rehnquist to retire and probably to retire on Monday. The unconfirmed rumor from a […]

OK, I know we are the Coalition of The Chillin’, but are we chillin’ too much? I know it is summer, you get off work, you grab a cold one and start chillin’… Well there’s chillin’ and there’s Chillin’! How about we try again and give everyone until Saturday 6/25/05 for submissions? If we do […]

Apparently the rumors about a vote on Bolton coming were true. So hang onto your hats ladies and gentlemen, let’s see what happens in the Senate tonight! Hat Tip Redstate Debate begins at 5pm, be sure to tune in on C-Span. There’s still time to commmunicate with some key Senators. UPDATE: 7:00 PM Eastern – […]

There is a distinct possibility that the first US SC retirement could come as early as next week ,as predictions fly that Rehnquist may finally step down. Both sides are gearing up for the battle royale that will take place in the Senate: Like hostile nations on the edge of apocalypse, Washington’s political right and […]

The AP is reporting that Bush may bypass the dysfunctional senate democrats and recess appoint Bolton to his position as Ambassador to the UN. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is keeping open the possibility that President Bush will bypass the Senate to get John R. Bolton installed as U.N. ambassador temporarily if Democrats persist in […]

I am still Chillin’ but Andre Martinez, in the New Hampshire Union Leader, makes some excellent points today on why the filibuster might need to be nuked any how. These points are especially valid in light of the vacuous Senate apology for not addressing anti-lynching legislation for decades (which is still crazy, murder is murder […]
