THAT'LL DO, DONKEY

Look everybody, a Democratic spine sighting!:
WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers will attempt to filibuster the nomination of Miguel Estrada for Washington's U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals before a vote on his confirmation, expected as early as Wednesday, sources close to the Democrats' game plan told Fox News.

Sources said Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- including Sen. Patrick Leahy, the ranking member, and Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Edwards of North Carolina, Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, Dianne Feinstein of California and Charles Schumer of New York -- met with Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota and his whip, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, last week to come up with the Democratic strategy for the upcoming floor battle.

Democrats say that even if they don't get the votes, they will attempt to filibuster anyway, on the theory that an uncontested loss "would be worse than no contest," the sources said.
Boy, are they sure making Gephardt look dumb or what! I hope that this sets the tone for the Democrats in congress for the rest of the session. Go after these guys. We saw what happened when you tried to cozy up to Bush leading up to the midterm elections. Now learn from that example. Go get 'em!
