Is Coragryph Half Bright Enough To Realize Dems REFUSED to Let the Senate Vote on Bush's Judges?

Question

... repeatedly?

Get an education.

One small example ---> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6017-2004Jul22.html

Answer 1

I think Coragryph is one of the most well thought out liars on here. He defined fascism the other day and I had to look it up to realize he was lying.

He defined it as having right wing in the definition and it doesn't.

He could be a professional propagandist.

Answer 2

The fillibuster is a time-honored tradition in Washington. According to the U.S. Senate website, the Republican Party was the first to initiate a filibuster against a judicial nominee in 1968, forcing Democratic president Lyndon Johnson to withdraw the nomination of Associate Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to be chief justice. The Republican-controlled Senate blocked approximately 60 Clinton nominees through fillibusters and other means. This included strict enforcement under Clinton of the "blue slip" policy, which at the time allowed a senator from a nominee's home state to block a nominee simply by failing to turn in the blue-colored approval papers required for the nomination process.


The confirmation rate in Clinton's second term and Bush's first term are nearly identical -- 35 of Clinton's 51 nominees were confirmed, compared to 35 of Bush's 52 nominees.

Coragryph is a lot brighter than you give him credit for...

Answer 3

I wasn't aware of these particular incidents.
Which is why I asked for specific references in my posting.

Thank you for pointing them out to me.

EDIT to archangel -- I checked three dictionaries for my definition. One said "right-wing" (Princeton). One said "conservative" (New Collegiate). One said both (Dictionary of Marxism). See also the definitions by historical scholars Passamore and Weiss (link below), and by George Orwell.

So, since the terms were in the dictionaries I was quoting, how does that make me a liar? But I'm happy to look in some other dictionary if you provide a reference.

Well geez when you see a political hack with the judicial experience of a three year old wouldn't you to let them sit on one of the most important courts in the world, we need well qualified men and women who actually have experience in judicial matters not Harriet Myers, nor Al "I never tried a case" Gonzales representing our court system, not sycophants
