The Senate has approved 98% of Bush's court appointments...

[loudnclear]

Are 4 appointees more important than medicare, healthcare, government operations? this is the question the Dems should be asking everytime they get access to the media.

1. Heard the RW and NPR this morning playing the race and religion cards...

...on the four filibustered nominations (anti-black, anti hispanic, anti Catholic.)

My question:
...what is the racial makeup of the 168 appointments approved?

2. Good question

On the Anti Catholic bigotry charge. "So you'd approve a judge who followed the Pope's admonition to abandon Capitol Punishment? A judge who declared his adament opposal to capitol punsihment?

I think there are 10 judges who are black and 9 who are hispanic, but I might be using old data.

Edited to add. Hmmm Opposal is not a word. I meant to say Opposition.

3. But they want 100% !

Forget about all those Clinton judges they refused to let out of committee...

4. I wonder the same thing.

This seems incredibly petty of the Repuglicans. This is being led by Rick Sanetarium(crazy right wing nut)!

5. What the heck!

The Dems have allowed 98% to go through??

Maybe they do deserve to be kept up for 30 hours.

6. Dems answer with a roar....YES!

These are lifetime appointments, LIFETIME, good for the dems for finally standing up to something.
