  1. Today the Senate voted 70-29 to end debate on Obama's first nominee to the federal bench.

    The vote beat a failed fillibuster attempt by the fine Senator from Alabama, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.

    The vote cleared Judge David Hamiltons path to becoming a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the seventh circuit.

    Sessions seems to get his talking points from loonies like Beck, the pig man oxy moron, Ann Coutler, etc.

    He did embrace the lies that Hamilton gave Muslims preferential treament over Christians.

    Session also thought he should serve on the Federal bench because he spent one month working for ACORN in 1979.

    Now that Senator Sessions has failed miserably at his fillibuster attempt maybe Harry Reid will grow some fuckin balls and move foward with dozens of other nominees.
