Political Quotes

“Assume that, and I am sure some in this country would like to see this happen, in the next election President Bush is overwhelmingly defeated at the polls, after his defeat at the polls in November, President Bush nominates a judge to a circuit court after the election, and that the Senate happens to be in a lame-duck session after the election. He would nominate a judge to the circuit court. Let's also assume when President Bush gets defeated, not only does he get defeated but the Republicans lose control of the Senate. It is a huge win by the Democrats. Assume all that happens. President Bush, in the face of that, comes out after the election, nominates a judge to the circuit court and the Republicans jam that person through committee, get him to the floor and try to move a vote on that nomination to confirm him prior to the end when the Republicans would lose control and a new Democrat President is in place. Does the Senator believe your side of the aisle would confirm that nominee like that?”
