Pickering Filibuster
GOP Fails to Break Pickering Filibuster? It’d be laughable if it were not so sad. What Filibuster?
“GOP Fails to Break Pickering Filibuster Threat” is more accurate. If they keep calling the threat an actual filibuster no one has to stand up and read the phone book for hours or days…
We know the whole issue against Pickering is political, they are trying to stop as many key nominations as possible in the hope of taking back the White House in 2004. Again, Zell Miller (why is he a Democrat again?) is speaking out against his own party:
“Pickering has been the victim by inaccurate race baiting and political trash talk by the news media, members of Congress and Washington’s liberal elite,” said Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. “Judge Pickering’s critics continue to unfairly label him a racist and segregationist. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
