There are two words that describe what is going on in the Senate today over judicial nominees and filibusters: weenie wagging. Both sides are guilty. Unfortunately, the consequences of today’s “my threat is bigger than your threat” fiasco are real.
–Jane, trots off to start her day
Are you suggesting that female senators have virtual weenies? Do you think that dropping trou might solve this problem? I can think of a dozen senators off the top of my head that I would prefer remain clothed. Barack Obama is not one of them. Sigh

I think they tend to forget that someday, in some distant universe, the wheel will turn. And when that happens, they will be the ones crying that rules should not be changed for the sake of being the majority. The whole thing is pretty much a “pissing contest” pardon the language, a big game of chicken. Maybe they need to get a hint, if the minority really dislikes a nominee, maybe it says something. After all, these judges do get appointed for life.
