How are "Extra-ordinary Circumstances" defined by the moderate Senators?

[patrice]

They won't Fillibuster Alito unless there are extra-ordinary circumstances. Are all of these Indictments, some for Corruption, in BushCo, and those to come for all of the money disappeared in Iraq, part of what would be the definition of Extra-Ordinary?

1. Defn: Extraordinary circumstances

Defn:

extraordinary circumstances -- Any time a Democrat President nominates a jurist to the Supreme Court who is unsuitable to Republicans.

2. Probably an indiscrete sexual encounter....

That being about the only thing those folks think is immoral or inappropriate these days...

3. Oh, but indescrete sexual encounters are not Un-usual.

Doesn't the Extra-ordinary have to also be Un-usual?

4. I took it to mean that the Repubs in the "band of 14" or whatever

they call themselves, don't like who was nominated. Then, they grant their permission for the Dems to filibuster.

5. That would be, for example, if there were a danger of losing their seat.NT
