Yes, and America is prepared to put many more of these obstructionists back in power. They don't work or have worked for the problem children (like Kasich and Lehmans), but 20% of Americans are just plain stupid, and 40% more are gullible, as evidenced by many of the posts here.
Perhaps people at large don'tcare whetehror not the Judiciary functions.
With 45 nominees awaiting action and with republicans making sure to use every delaying tactic they can come up with and they can come up with a lot of them republicans have made to working of the Senate a big fat joke. Unfortunately it is for from funny. We have incompetence at its best from Bush republicans who sure know all about obstruction. Since republicans have done nothing to help the country in ANY WAY it is amazing that any sane American would want republicans to be in charge. I sure don't.
This is another perfect example of how Republicans are not supporting their president---and not doing their jobs. President Obama deserves the support of all of us.
dibbs, I guess you missed the part of the article that said Obama had only nominated 33 judges. Kinda hard to confirm over 100 judges when Obuma has only nominated 33. Of course it must be tough nominating judges when you're busy destroying the economy, golfing, etc.
Good job, CBS on giving another misleading title to support your socialist puppet.

Not much point in nominating any more when you can't get the ones you have nominated through. Seriously, what would be the point?
There has been nothing that republicans in Congress have not obstructed. Every tiny issue that should not have been obstructed has been obstructed. All the important appointments that should have sailed through have been obstructed. If republicans think these disgusting republicans can govern worth a darn they are dreaming. We have the most hateful and unconcerned republican politicians in the government right now. While they make horrible accusations that are lies they are keeping important positions in the country from being filled. They keep the government from doing the most important work that we need done. Republicans who want these hateful and vindictive republicans in power deserve them. They will make sure the rich are served and that the rest of the country continues to decline. Nothing will be done to solve the problems that President Obama and Democrats have been working on determinedly. Just those policies for the corporations that republican politicians want to worry about.
It is not the opposition party's 'JOB' to support the initiatives the President puts forth. In fact, if they don't believe he is headed the correct direction for the voters who put them in office, it is their JOB to do everything in their power to stop him. Don't you know how the two-party system works?

It has nothing to do with what direction he's going in. It has to do with the fact that he's DEMOCRAT, and BLACK. The guy can do nothing right. It's impossible to be 100% wrong, 100% of the time. There is more going on that just what he's saying and doing.
by ffoulkes-2009 September 7, 2010 4:55 AM EDT Erasmus, Maybe their SHOULD be more than 2 viable parties, but since there are not, it is a 2 party system.
Well, something needs to be done about it, or your country is doomed. How long do you think that your country is going to survive with all this hatred?
Republicans should calm down -they will NEVER lose-dems did not filibuster their idiotic wars,tax cuts for the rich-destroyed the public option in healthcare on their own & will soon vote to reduce soc sec,medicare & pensions to pay for the rich tax cuts-they suck in the bribes ,EXACTLY like the republicans from lobbyists& sell out the USA-REPULICRATS ALL !
by AlanW21126p September 6, 2010 3:54 PM EDT Nope, you are wrong. America is not sick. Rather, she is simply just waking up after a long hangover from the Obama Kool-Aid.
No, you are wrong. America became sick under the Bush Administration. It is just now beginning the long process of recovery. People are too impatient and expect things to happen over night.
Bush almost succeeded in destroying your country. If the Republicans gain control, that will be the end of America. It will not return to it's former glory. It is touch and go whether it would anyways, even with Obama, but in the hands of Republicans, ain't no way.
I'm not a Democrat, or a Republican. When your elections were going on, I didn't think that Obama or McCain would make a good President. BUT, out of the two, Obama was the better choice. All McCain would have been doing is looking for another war.
Now since the election, I have witnessed all the bullcrap going on and I can now see that it isn't just about "McCain" not getting in, it's about ANY Republican getting in. I have always hated LABELS. In Canada, it is hard to put anyone under a SPECIFIC label, because things just aren't that cut and dried. In America, however, you can. I can see that the Republicans are the cause of the "sickness", the "hatred", and if allowed back in, they WILL destory the country. They don't care about all the people, just themselves. They are the corrupt.
American is NOT sick. There are some sick people--and they are called far-right ignorant extremists and they are being manipulated by The Republicans---to get their vote.

America is sick. The Republicans are causing that sickness. You know how particular people can bring out the worst in others? Well that is what they are doing. There is this constant chaos. A constant back and forth spewing of hatred. They are causing unrest. America is DIVIDED.

...if they can't have their way, they would rather see everything go down in ruins.
Perhaps people at large don'tcare whetehror not the Judiciary functions.
AND they will be attempting to re-install the SAME K-street pocket lining policies that they did LAST time they were in power.
LMAOROTFL.
