BREAKING: Schumer and Feinstein Will Vote For Mukasey
11.02.07 -- 4:44PM
By David Kurtz

According to CNN, Sens. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) will vote for the confirmation of Michael Mukasey as attorney general.

The move by the two Judiciary Committee Democrats all but assures that the nomination will make it to the Senate floor where confirmation is expected.

Roll Call (sub. req.) also confirming.

1. Of course they will

But on the other hand, could we expect anybody better from Bush?

[dysfunctional press]

2. it's almost cute how some people think that there's still an opposition party in this country.

corporatists RULE!

[Whisp]

13. no kidding. not cute at all, tho.

thoroughly disgusted, YET AGAIN. I had to embellish my Disgusted Meter so many times....

how much More to See what is Really Happening?

[debbierlus]

24. You know, I almost had hope on this one, silly me

FUCK THEM

[Exultant Democracy]

26. I know, it's a joke. We are in the same boat as the Russians, our guys just have better PR.

[Frances]

3. Feinstein is my senator, but all I get is a busy signal

when I try to call. I am against Mukassey.

[movonne]

4. BREAKING!!! they are both asshole repugs..and have been all

along..schumer, feinstein, lieberman....and probably many more...our party has been invaded by these scums...

[Swamp Rat]

5. Rhymes with "yuck"

[buff2]

6. I knew it.

They always put on a fake fight but in the end Bu$hitler always gets what he wants. We have no one representing us. No one.

[Beelzebud]

7. Why bother.. really. It's getting fucking old.

[LSK]

8. HEY CHUCK, IN 6 MONTHS YOU ARE GOING TO BE KICKING YOURSELF

DONT YOU FUCKING LEARN?

[Xipe Totec]

9. When are they up for re-election?

I see that neither of these chicken shits are up for re-election in 2008.

They better not think that we will forget; they're going to be mighty surprised when they come up before the voters again.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. And if anybody is surprised bout this kabuki theater...

[Solly Mack]

11. No doubt their kids have been kidnapped and threatened with anthrax

not to mention being blackmailed

Do you really have to ask?

[opihimoimoi]

12. And here I thought they had COMMON SENSE...no such luck

[spanone]

14. i have no respect for the democrats whatsoever

[aquart]

Aren't YOU a Democrat?

If not, why are you here?

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. With friends like that..................n/t

[slowry]

16. Fuck Ralph n/t

[hatrack]

17. Whew! For a minute I thought the Littlest President wouldn't get what he wanted!

But I knew that Di-Fi wouldn't let us down!

And Schumer voting for him too - that's just like a really neat BONUS vote!`

USA! USA! USA! USA!

[MoonRiver]

18. Invasion of the progressive snatchers is on at the DNC!

[AndyTiedye]

19. I Got Through to Her San Francisco Office and Sent Email

NO!!!!

[MoonRiver]

20. The question is,

DOES SHE CARE? Series.

[AndyTiedye]

21. Bush** Took Her for a Ride (on AF1)

He probably played some of the highlights of her own telephone calls and emails over the past few years.




He may have also pointed out to her how unpleasant it is to die in an airplane crash, like Senator Wellstone:



And he would have also reminded her of the recent executive orders regarding continuity of "government", which make no provision for Congress.

[MoonRiver]

25. Yes, it's a little house of horrors for all our compromised "Democrats."

Time to go in search of the non-dead.

[debbierlus]

22. I will be giving Mr Schumer a call & pledging to help find a progressive replacement for him

SELL OUT!

[Gregorian]

23. Why do I waste my time calling her? She doesn't listen.

I hate Feinstein. She turned into a turd when she hit the big time. As a mayor, she was great. But I'm probably not going to even bother calling her office any more. She is oblivious to her constituency. I say that with all confindence since we are the most liberal constituency in the nation. Screw her!

[greeneyedboy]

27. are they worried about a recess appointment or what? n/t
