Pryor Goes Forward for Full Senate Vote

From CNN:

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10 to 8 Thursday to send the nomination of former Alabama Attorney General William Pryor, Jr. to the Senate floor.

The vote adds Pryor's name to the list of four other judicial nominations passed out of the committee -- all on the same party-line vote -- and brings the Senate ever closer to a showdown over the Democrats' use of filibusters to block President Bush's nominations.

Several Republican senators -- including Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist -- have at the least intimated that Democrats are applying a "religious" test to the president's nominees, rejecting them for their personal views.

Sorry to hear this; Pryor stinks. At least four of the previously rejected Bush candidates reek they're so rotten.

But there's more. Bush already pushed Pryor in during a recess appointment that is normally considered too heavy-handed to do.

Another issue - a large one - is that the GOP's new favored whine is "you're against people of faith", like the comment here about using religion as a litmus test. But the GOP does the same. They're constantly pointing at Dems and saying "Godless heathen" (also a litmus test). And then, of course, the great, pious, moralizing sleazebags go home and bang their girlfriend - or with some of these GOP - much younger boyfriend - before heading back to the spouse.

I can't wait until we hear what a good Christian Newt is. Like the time he served one wife with divorce papers just as she was coming out of surgery having her breast removed. Since then, he had that affair with an intern (that didn't get NEARLY as much play in the so-called liberal media as when Clinton did it), and divorced at least one additional wife. Yes, he and Rudy have said, "I do" more often than most of those Godless heathen Dems.
