Harry Reid, true to form, has set the stage for yet another protracted Democrat led filibuster over the appointment of federal judges. President Bush has re-nominated each of the candidates who were prevented by the Democrats from getting an “up or down” vote by the senate last term. Shamelessly, Reid says they have been “rejected” by the senate. Of course, he knows they have not been rejected by the senate, but instead, never have been considered for approval by the full senate due to Democrat led political chicanery. He also knows that if they are given the chance, each will be confirmed by a majority of the senate.
Senator Reid appears to be unaware that one of the reasons Tom Daschle is no longer a senator is because he led the obstruction of President Bush’s nominations, -and the people of South Dakota held it against him. The people of Nevada will do the same, and Senator Reid will hopefully become former Senator Reid.
One thing needs to happen right away. The senate needs to pass a rule that cloture of a filibuster can be achieved by a simple majority vote of the senate. There really is no reason to allow 40 misguided senators to hold up the people’s business. Senator Frist needs to get it done – now.

Poor Harry is in a real pickle; what he used to believe and say vs. what he has to say now. I'm sure he must wonder how much of his soul he has sold out. If he was smart, and I don't give him that much credit; he'd let the wicked witch from the West do all the talking, the one from California, Ms Socialist 2005
