Senate Democrats reject justice department nominee Debo Adegbile

[badgate]

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.

I'm certain Beau Biden's campaign of 'Coons didn't vote for somebody linked to Mumia' will play well in suburban Philadelphia.

You mean suburban Delaware? The state is so small there is literally one suburb.

Much of the state is in the Philadelphia media market - Coons voted against it for the same reason Casey did.

Gotcha. But in the context of a primary challenge who cares how it plays in PA. And the argument would be a lot less glib than "Coons didn't vote for somebody linked to Mumia."

Debo is simply too controversial to be nominated. It is unfortunate Reid brought this to the floor and allowed Obama and many conservative Dems be embarrassed over this.

Alberto  Gonzales, Condi Rice, and Samuel Alito were all very controversial, but that didn't stop Bush from getting them confirmed. It would have only taken 41 Democrats to block any of those.

It's a shame because I'd hoped he might replace Breyer.

Harry can you imagine the headlines if Casey really supported this guy?

Who cares? No one will remember this in 2018 either way...

Casey is constantly looking over his shoulder in fear. He thinks Pennsylvania is Mississippi.

Exactly.  Harry god bless your idealism and principles, and I mean that sincerely, but they won't let him live it down in 50 years, much less the next time he's up for election.  That's just not how it works here.

Isn't Pennsylvania basically Philly and Pittsburgh with Mississippi in between?

Well there's a dab of civilization around the Harrisburgh/Lancaster area, but pretty much, yeah.

Actually, other than Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a lot like Arkansas....

Bush faced less racism than Obama does, so he could be more chosey than Obama.

^and Democrats were a much more deferential opposition than Republicans have been to President Obama.

Republican obstructionism makes both parties look bad. Why were Democrats so absolutely pathetic in standing up to Bush?

No.
