BREAKING: Ignoring Deal, Frist to File for Cloture on Myers
In the deal struck yesterday evening, negotiators agreed that two judicial nominees - William G. Myers and Henry Saad - “will be filibustered or withdrawn.”
Last night, Frist indicated he would abide by the agreement:
Mr. President, a lot has been said about the uniqueness of this body. And, indeed, our Senate is unique. And we all, as individuals and collectively as a body, have a role to play in ensuring its cherished nature remains intact.
And, indeed, as demonstrated by tonight’s agreement and by the ultimate implementation of that agreement, we have done just that.
But Congress Daily PM reports that Frist has other ideas for later in the week:
Senate Majority Leader Frist will file for cloture on President Bush’s nomination of William Myers to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals later this week, according to sources on and off Capitol Hill, wasting no time in testing the resolve of 14 Republican and Democratic senators who forced at least a temporary halt to the battle over Democratic filibusters of President Bush’s judicial picks.
That didn’t take long.
This may very well begin the struggle for control of the Republican party. If the moderates win, the wingnuts will split. If the wingnuts win, the moderates will have to come to the Dems.
It's clutch time. There's about to be a battle for the future of the country, and the superstition first crowd is behind it. God, God, God. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Faith is good. Being a hypocrite is repugnant.
To these people who use the 18th Chapter of the Book of Leviticus as a vile excuse to hate gays, I say fine, but let's not be hypocrites here.
We need to alter the constitution to allow us enforce the entire Book of Leviticus.
Here are some of the great changes you can look forward to if the crazy people win...
A Federal Mandate to keep the Sabbath Holy. Don't make any plans for the weekend.
A Federal Mandate that someone who has sinned unintentionally should go to their nearest church with a bull and slaughter it. There is some more to do, but it's up to the Priest.
A Federal Mandate that requires you to go to a priest and have him check your acne to see if you need to be declared unclean. Failure to do so will result in death by stoning for ignoring the law.
A Federal Mandate that requires you to take any mildewed clothing to your local priest and have him examine the mildew. If he doesn't like the look of the mildew, you have to burn your clothes.
A Federal Mandate that requires you to not turn to Mediums or seek out spiritits, or you should consider yourself defiled. Whether watching NBC's Medium counts or not is a matter of debate.
A Federal Mandate that forbids tattoos. Sorry to those of you who were in the greek system in college. You have to die.
A Federal Mandate that forbids you from cutting the hair on the sides of your head or trimming your beard. I hope everyone likes the Grizzly Adams Look.
A Federal Mandate that requires anyone who has had relations with their spouse while the monthly visitor is in town must be deported. How you plan to enforce such a thing, I have no idea.
You see, the point is quite simple. If you choose to follow these guidelines strictly, that takes discipline and I respect you. But once you've crossed the line into feeling that these things should be crimes against the state, you're the Taliban.
I for one am against the Taliban. Why is James Dobson in favor of the Taliban?
Hmmmmm.
