The American Spectator

John W. Schneider, III br> Bristow, Virginia /p> p> Isn’t Senator Lott the one who negotiated the deal with Democrats when he was Senate leader that gave the Democrats equal representation on all of the committees when the Republicans had the majority, though slim? Doesn’t this “deal” he’s talking about with Reid have in it the catch that the Democrats will still be able to filibuster in “extreme” cases? How long will it be before that comes back to bite Lott? Of course, every judge nominee will be an “extreme” case to the Democrats and we’ll be right back where we started. The Democrats can play Lott like a fiddle. Can’t he see that? What a foolish, foolish man. The President should have supported him in the Strom situation. It was ludicrous to give in to the media over that silly mistake, but the Republicans always do that. Silly, silly people. Now, the President may reap the whirlwind. br> — Lisa Ragusa br> San Ramon, California /p> p> Trent Lott better watch out or he may not even be a Senator for long. And Frist better get going on his option, we want an up or down vote on EVERY nominee or what is the point. br> — Elaine Kyle br> Cut & Shoot, Texas /p>

It’s stomach-churning to see one man, so intent on rehabilitating himself, that he’d sacrifice the party and assist the Democrats in their campaign to paint the Republicans as the wrong-doers in this.

The guy’s a profile in perfidy. If the real Republicans don’t thwart what he’s doing, he’ll be worse that the Democrats who obstructed. And he’ll be waving that old flag of racism by blocking Judge Rogers and sexism by blocking her and Justice Owen. And blocking Bill Pryor? This is disgusting.
