Another day where that wimp Harry Reid doesn't bring Dawn Johnson's nomination
to the floor for even a cloture vote. Shes already made it out of committee. Yet this wimp has yet to bring her up for a vote. I don't understand why liberals aren't outraged. Especially the ones so caught up in Torture Prosecutions.

1. I've loathed Reid for a very long time - I think a lot of us have.

2. I didn't fully understand the hold up, but this is ridiculous. I wonder
what the hold up is? Do they go around checking for support first?

3. Reid can be a jackass

but I suspect the Franken hold up the major issue Lugar is only one from the GOP who's come out in support of her. You're probably looking at a very close vote.

5. So make them filibuster. He should at least be able to get enough votes for Cloture
and then just need 51 votes

He doesn't want to embarrass the new guy.

6. Maybe- but Reid's proven so incompetent and timid that it could be anything
