Prowar Senators used the filibuster provision repeatedly this past week to win the day, and the allegedly antiwar Senators did - nothing . Friday, the Senate failed to get the votes necessary to stop a filibuster and vote on an amendment ordering most U.S. troops home from Iraq in the next nine months. The vote was 47-47, well short of the 60 required to bring debate to an end. On Thursday, the Senate blocked legislation by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) that would have cut off funding, albeit only for "combat" forces in June 2008. Now comes the news that Bush's spending supplemental for the war to be submitted to the Senate this week will amount to nearly $200 billion dollars.

Prowar Senators are on their way to using the filibuster provision a record number of times in this the 110th Congress where cloture has already been invoked 56 times.

Why not Filibuster Bush's forthcoming spending supplemental? So Bush would need 60 Senate votes.

...without paying. Most every online source I've found says that the 'poor man's copyright' won't hold up in court (mailing your work to yourself via the postal service). I know about registering your work but that's so expensive. Are there any legal alternatives?

Instead of using $3 billion dollars a week of U.S. tax payer money. And getting 3700 American troops killed.

Why not simply hire Blackwater and take over Iraq?

Just think, you could invade Iraq witha civilian militia. save our troops lives. And then since you hired Blackwater, you could move to Iraq.

what a deal. Instead you use taxpayer dollars for Iraq rather than healthcare for American citizens.

Wouldn't the wise thing for republicans be to simpl move to Iraq? they love it better than America. And they have blackwater. what could be better?

oh I know- a free ride on the American taxpayer to the tune of $100,000 per minute? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2002780385_spending03.html

and 3700 American lives wasted for a war you could have simply hired Blackwater to do?

Do us Americans a favor next war you republicans start. Leave the American troops lives alone. And he U.S. tax dollars in the U.S.

Bet the republicans can't wait to move to Iraq.

Closed minded - when anyone disagrees with a liberal.
Compromise - when you do what a liberal wants.
Freedom - when liberals get their way.
Unbiased - when it leans left.
Condescend - what a liberal does to those who don't agree with them.

That word has a bit of the old Soviet-style rhetoric quality about it and I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to exactly what these people mean by calling themselves "progressive".

I find that I'm inclined to take that word as as meaning that those folks think they're better than I am but I'm sure that couldn't possibly be the case, could it?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

My father in-law paid 10,000 to get his brother out of Elizabeth detention center after being caught by immigration for being an illegal resident. The bail as I understand it is to ensure he will come back to court when it was agreed. Now my question is: Can we request to get our money back and let them persecute him, or do we have to wait until the court day and his extraction from the country to actually get the money back. Thanks.

We get along well just didn't click. I filed for child support, and the court will send him a summons to a court hearing. He lives in a different state and I don't want to make a burden on him as he is more than willing to pay child support. Is it possible, he doesn't have to go explaining the situation or just be on the phone while the hearing takes place?

Could someone who is an avowed anti-war activist please list for me the hallmarks of your ideological stance?

Also, is there such a thing as a 'good war' (one that is unavoidable and morally justifiable)?

On the one hand, it's a great joke to pull on somebody. Obviously, these people were totally oblivious to the fact that someone (a prankster, no doubt) put the bumper sticker on their car. But on the other hand, how embarrassing! I'm torn on this one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
