Janice Rogers Brown confirmed

56-44. All Republicans and Uncle Ben Nelson voted for the most extreme right-wing judge in modern memory. She will serve on the D.C. Court of Appeals. A stepping stone to the Supreme Court. But don't worry, this is not an "extraordinary circumstance." The Dems "victory" on the filibuster deal is a gift that just keeps on giving.

The deal on judges is...

Mostly a victory for Dems 656 votes - 64 %
Mostly a defeat for Dems 365 votes - 35 %

No comment necessary. Except to say this why the Democratic party is in the state it's in.

Schumer (none / 0)

I watched a bit of Schumer's speech. He called the majority a bunch of yes men. I like Schumer's way of handling himself. He's getting better and better.

Re: Schumer (none / 0)

I don't think Schumer's comment did much to advance his cause. Neither he nor any of the other leading Democratic Senators voted against any of Clinton's nominees, or those of previous Democratic Presidents for the few that have been around that long. The opposition party always has more problems with a President's nominees - it's just that when they have a Senate majority, they can do something about.

Re: Schumer (none / 0)

only 2 republicans have voted against the Bush Wish list. And these nominees are anything but "conservative".

At least she's off the CA SupremeCourt (none / 0)

see my post on the topic of Arnold's pick for a State Supreme Court justice once Janice Rogers Brown goes off to DC.
