They voted to filibuster their own party's nominee because the nominee did his job and got a client spared from the death penalty? Time for some primary challenges to these DINOs. Especially to Casey and Coons, who are from blue states.

Your line in the sand for considering someone a DINO is if they vote against an Obama nominee?

If anything Casey should be primaried for his stance on Roe v. Wade.
Well we can't do anything about Coons, but hopefully this will encourage Beau Biden to try and primary Coons this year. He at least would vote the way the Obama Administration would want him to, of course. Casey and Coons are also both responsible for supporting more sanctions on Iran, so I've pretty much lost all trust I've had in them on their failed voting records. Pryor is getting lucky because the deadline in his state passed last week, but I would love to see him beat by Tom Cotton. Heitkamp and Manchin are also no surprise, and John Walsh is in his first weeks and this is what he wants to be initially known for? Shame.

I have to commend Reid though. He gets a lot of hate from his own party from those who don't understand Senate procedures, but is willing to move past that and do the vote swap when necessary because of the lackluster performances of some of his terrible Democratic colleagues. 

Unfortunately, Fox News is now having a field day like MSNBC was the moment the Christie scandal broke. They've been criticizing this guy since day one and I wouldn't be shocked if anyone who heard about Adegbile on there mistook him for Mumia Abu-Jamal himself considering how much they showed his face while talking about Adegbile. God forbid they actually judge Adegbile off of their credentials though, right? Even so, Adegbile is a total FF for fighting for Abu-Jamal's death sentence to be overturned and sentence to be further reduced. It's a mere scare tactic and those handful of Democrats bought into it since they care more about their re-election than a well-experienced lawyer who has knowledge of voting rights heading the federal civil rights division.
