Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he and Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., will announce Wednesday morning when confirmation hearings on chief justice nominee John Roberts will start, but he indicated they would likely begin on Monday.

"Judge Roberts will be confirmed before the start of the Supreme Court's term," Frist predicted confidently. The court convenes on Oct. 3 for its 2005-2006 term.

Frist said he would stick with his previously announced plan to hold a Senate floor vote on the Roberts nomination no later than the last week of September "in order to get him confirmed in time for the start of the Supreme Court's term."

“The attention of the Senate should be on the tragedies still unfolding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina,” said Ralph Neas, president of People for the American Way, a liberal group which opposed Roberts’s nomination to be associate justice and now opposes his nomination to be chief justice. “With the stakes now even higher for the nation, it would be irresponsible for the Senate Judiciary Committee to conduct confirmation hearings this week.” Neas said, “There should be no rush” to conduct hearings on the successors to Rehnquist and retiring Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

1. priorities

It's interesting how the Republican theme of the week is that "now is not the time" for discussing accountability for the Gulf coast fiasco since there is so much emergency work to be done, but they can spare all the time they want to ram this through.

2. I contacted both my senators (Dem females)

and told them not to support ANY of the chimps nominees. He has no idea as to how to appoint the appropriate person for the job, as evidenced by the last week's events.

3. Thas right: this is too subtle RE: TRAGEDIES:: 'GET THE NIGRAS':

Ok: the gloves are off. The racist card is on the table. Who's going to play it? WE ARE.

This is the big hidden agenda: "WELL, THEY WASN'T WORTH KEEPIN ANYWAY....LESS WELFARE CHECKS TO ISSUE."

I'm a white cracker from Atlanta and I know what I'm talking about. All those times I stood in line and glared at the guy making racist comments about the 'negras.'

Come on: I DARE DU'ers to carry this over into the freeper blogs.

CRANK IT:

Dear President Bush: I know that the New Orleans matter was a terrible tragedy, but God must know what he's doing. Certainly you could not have anticipated that levee breaking. <aybe the Good Lord will be coming back soon and this is what we have to expect. Dr. Rice stated as much today.

Now, however, we have a lot of Black people who are without housing and I wonder how this is going to affect our taxes? Certainly, we don't want them to be left out in the cold. On the other hand, this has the potential to really wreak havoc on our economic structure.

Accordingly, I am hopeful that you will continue to try and obtain tax cuts for people who have businesses so that business owners can make jobs available to Black people and they can save their money which is the American way.

(maybe this is too subtle?)

Sincerely,
