Coburn Ammendment

Posted by Eric at 9:11 pm. Filed under: General

I can’t believe it. I agree with Kos.

Roll call is over, and the amendment failed 15-82. This is becoming a gross failure by both parties and the institution of government.

…

Those who voted against these amendments have zero credibility on issues of fiscal responsibility. Zero.

Ben Barnes and Harriet Miers

Posted by Eric at 8:20 am. Filed under: General

The Miers nomination continues to stumble. Captain Ed summarizes the Ben Barnes issue that may be floating just under the surface here, and he, like many conservatives, are starting to get a bit frustrated.

Didn’t anyone think to check through all of these points before selecting Miers? I understand that the President makes his own choices and can get rather stubborn about them, but this water torture of daily missteps and revelations make it difficult for all but the most rabid partisans to continue supporting Miers’ confirmation, even for the party’s sake.

today.
