I am a bit surprised the EU nations are allowing the failure of the EU Constitution to disturb their alliances so much. You’d think they would be still able work through the EC as they have been for years now. Apparently not: The president of the executive European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said unless the […]

The filibuster deal was the beginning of a major PR chess game between Reps and Dems. As I posted previously, the dems have been testing a shell game with words to try and hide from the public (those sneaks!) the fact they are still filibustering by claiming the non-cloture vote is for gaining more information […]

US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales gave one of the best reasons why liberal democrats are playing a very dangerous game with GITMO and the terrorists detained there. When did the democrat party become so desparate to win elections (at any cost it seems) they would suggest closing GITMO and possibly free these known terrorists. Isn’t […]

I had commented on this truly vacuous apology the Senate issued for not stopping filibusters on laws to stop lynchings 100 years ago (like there were no other laws they could use to deal with a murder – even by a group of whacked out people?). They were part of another topic: The idea of […]

Driving from my customer site this morning I heard Laura Ingraham mention a pathetic statement by Dick ‘Dysmal’ Durbin on the Senate floor. I agree with her, this cannot go unchallenged and the people need to call politicians to task for comparing America and Americans to some of the most murderous people of the last […]

Due to the filibuster deal, the second most powerful court behind the Supreme Court is seeing a considerable shift towards conservative jurists, as reported by Shanned Coffin at Bench Memo at NRO: The Griffith confirmation continues the remaking of the D.C. Circuit, considered by many to be the most powerful appellate court short of the […]

Little Green Footballs has a post on some lunatic from the Dept of Labor under Bush’s first term. You are not going to believe what this moonbat is saying: A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief […]

While some still react to democrat posturing and spinning with resignation, others see a successful string of appellate court placements as how the filibuster ‘deal’ was good for the GOP and bad for the dems. Remember, the dems have not yet stopped any nominee – even Saad and Myers, though this still remains to be […]

And that makes six new appellate court judges since the democrats made the deal so many thought would be the end of the GOP’s power in the Senate. Ryan James has the score, which wasn’t even close. The Coalition is still Chillin’s – and toasting. Hat tip: Mark Coffey at Decision 08
