The Republicans are in the majority, aren't they?

Then why don't they act like it. A total of 14 moderate ( read squeamish ) Senators have reached a compromise that avoids a vote on the Constitutional option that would have guaranteed a yes/no vote on all of President Bush's judicial nominees. Now really, why do you think the Dems wanted this? Of course, because they know that ALL, not some, all of the Presidents nominees would be confirmed by a up/down vote as mandated by the Constitution. Now only 3 of the nominees will get a vote and others will not and the rest are in limbo. Plus the filbuster is preserved. Oh joy! What a great deal guys. I am sure you will all hear from your constituents on this one. The Dems promise ( oh goodie ) that they will not filibuster any judicial nominees except in, now get this, "extraordinary circumstances." So that means the next time a conservative is nominated. When are the going to learn.

It really is shocking how limp-wristed and stupid the Republicans are. They had them right where they wanted them and let them get away. They deserve whatever happens to them now. All they have done is emboldened the Dems.

Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends). Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation. Fifty-percent (50%) are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
