Yes he was driven by the party on obstruction to make an about face on that wasn't he.

Code:
There are 93 judicial openings that Obama can now fill..You only have McConnell to blame for pushing this one over the cliff..McConnell could have allowed a few here and a few there..Now he will get 93 shoved up his ass where they belong .
Wasn't that just awful. We had a chance....and blew it.
Oh well. Ever onward through the fog.
I'll not try to change you mind. My beef is not with Obama, it is with Reid.
Germany is a perfect demonstration that social democracy and capitalism are not at all mutually exclusive. They make it all work together and there is no danger of them becoming a communist state.Modern Germany is an amalgam of pro-socialist and pro-liberty ideals. While it has adopted a few concepts that could be representative of what a Social Democracy would look like it still has a very strong Capitalist core.
Someone...if it was you I apologize for not remembering... mentioned earlier that they were wondering why Reid would make this move now, at this particular time? What's coming up to be voted on that might not have made it under the old rules? It just seems odd since we have another debt ceiling confrontation looming that you would think would be on everyone's front burner, not appointees to District courts.....Time will tell us, I guess.
Hello Polgara--to directly answer your question, one of the 3 court of appeals judges filibustered in the last week was passed 55-43 after the nuclear option..The other two will be up shortly..The other 90 federal openings out of a grand total of 873 judges, over 10%, will shortly be approved to catch up with the judicial backlog..I trust a future President Christie against this House, even if McConnell leads the Senate in 2016, unlikely since the GOP has far more seats to protect that cycle..President Christie should not have 82 cabinet/judicial appointees blocked out of an historical total of 168..This fight today has zero to do with next year..IMO, battle lines are already drawn as they have been by Cantor and his coup for 5 years..Someone...if it was you I apologize for not remembering... mentioned earlier that they were wondering why Reid would make this move now, at this particular time?

Levin realizes this move may very well come back to bite them in the butt in the near future.

and Sen. McConnell said why can't we have a straight up or down vote when in the majority--which McConnell face came first
Never suggested he wasn't a hypocrite about it, just like McConnell is now also a hypocrite from the visa versa side. I don't care though, back then, now, 100 years ago.... the whole supermajority for non-constitutionally mentioned items shouldn't be allowed.

Oh well, they can be fired soon enough.
If Janet Reno can do it, so can the next AG.
What this allows is MEL WATT, to head up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Talk about the Fox watching over the Hen House.
the government is the people. how can the people be slaves to themselves?

Mc Connell was all bark and no bite. Reid bites
I do not underestimate McConnell..I do my best to try to think like they do to anticipate their next move tomorrow..GOPers will need to get PPACA back front in center for the Sunday talk shows..
What do courts do that don't have enough judges? Does everything just back up until they can get to it?
Greetings. NIMBY. :2wave: Do you keep in touch with folks on our old site?
It all ties in. This move was to stack federal courts in order to defeat challenges to ACA regs.
So you're for nullifying the 2012 election also..
HUH? That was an unnaturally huge leap. don't know how you came up with that...So you're for nullifying the 2012 election also..
