Not according to the Democrats

Sam F. — 5/28/2005 10:52:34 PM (archived)

But Democrats said it's not about politics, or even about Mr. Bolton anymore. They said their filibuster is an attempt to protect the institution of the Senate against a strong and overreaching administration.

Yeah, America, the UN and the entire world must be saved from Bush the Ironfisted and his overreaching cabal of neocons and cowboys. More and more every day, the Democrats look like sore losers.

        "Advise and consent" does not mean "rubber stamp". - Mary Anne - 5/26/2005 11:06:39 PM
        
        Of course it doesn't mean rubber stamp. - Scott Evil - 5/27/2005 2:44:36 PM
