RUSH: This is yesterday. Dingy Harry held a press conference, and he talks about a meeting that he had with Bill Frist, the Republican leader in the Senate.<\/p>\n

\"\"REID: One proposal out for up-or-down votes on all but four judges, which many of us on both sides of the aisle consider to be a goal of this hyped battle over judicial nominations. It also took the nuclear option off the table, which even Ken Starr said yesterday was “damaging to the Senate as an institution and amounts, quote, to an assault on the judicial branch of government.” End of quote. This compromise would break the gridlock over these seven judges and allow us to get back to doing the people\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It would not break the deadlock over seven judges. It would break the deadlock over four of them, and that\u2019s not part of the deal, Dingy Harry. See, this is how it works. Ken Starr goes on CBS last night; he didn\u2019t just say it was an assault on the judicial branch, he said it was “radical.” He said what the Republicans in the Senate are trying to do is “a radical assault on the judicial branch of government, damaging to the Senate,” and all that sort of stuff — and here\u2019s Dingy Harry picking it up and running with it. These guys hated Ken Starr. I can\u2019t tell you how much they hated Ken Starr. They did everything they could to destroy Ken Starr. Now all of a sudden here comes Ken Starr saying things they can use and Ken Starr is a great guy! It\u2019s just not my kind of town, folks. I\u2019m telling you it just isn\u2019t my kind of town.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t explain why Starr did it. All I can do is speculate, and I think it all has to do with the DC culture trying to rebuild reputations, understanding who runs that town. If you want to have any kind of a future there and you want to have any kind of reputation, you\u2019ve gotta make sure you rip your own guys, rip your own party. The same with Newt and Hillary and this health care business. So Dingy Harry is on the march now getting allies from what would be considered Republican ranks, and here\u2019s one more Dingy Harry. Grab me sound bite two here. This is a press conference again yesterday, and here\u2019s Dingy Harry explaining what he really wants when it comes to judges.<\/p>\n

REID: This fight is not about the seven radical nominations. It\u2019s about clearing the way for a Supreme Court nominee who only needs 51 votes, not 60. They want a Clarence Thomas, not a Sandra Day O\u2019Connor or an Anthony Kennedy or a David Souter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So what? So what?<\/p>\n

REID: George Bush wants to run the Senate into a second House of Representatives, a rubber stamp for his right-wing agenda and radical judges. That\u2019s not how America works.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you see exactly what I\u2019ve been telling you all along is the case. They\u2019re worried to death that some of these nominees will make it and then be considered for Supreme Court nominations down the road — and for the first time in 214 years Dingy Harry is upset that it\u2019s going to take only 51 votes. He\u2019s acting like 60 votes to confirm a judge is the norm. It never has been. For 214 years all you needed was a simple majority on the floor of the Senate to confirm a judicial nominee. You never needed 60 until Dingy Harry and Daschle and his guys got going. Now, McCain. This is the story I was telling you about mere moments ago. “Senator McCain is urging the Senate GOP majority to cut a deal with Democrats over President Bush\u2019s nominees, even as Bill Frist warns that a confrontation over filibusters could come next week.<\/p>\n

Republican officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday McCain told fellow Republican senators at their closed-door weekly lunch that he believes Democrats will agree to a deal allowing confirmation votes on nearly all of the seven judicial candidates they blocked during Bush\u2019s first term. Democrats want their right to filibuster judicial nominees as part of any compromise. McCain said Republicans should trust assurances from Harry Reid regarding Supreme Court appointments. Privately, Reid has told Republicans he will not filibuster any Supreme Court nominee except in extreme circumstances.”<\/p>\n

\"\"What the hell! Would somebody explain to me, after looking at what they\u2019re saying about these seven nominees, who in the world that Bush sends up is not going to be called an extreme nominee or an extreme circumstance? And McCain wants us to take this deal. “Some Republicans claim that Reid has offered to make sure that even if there is a filibuster against a Supreme Court nominee, it will fail, but Reid\u2019s aides vehemently deny that he has made such a proposal.” So even after this meeting, Frist said, “Nah, we are going to go ahead with this because we need floor votes on all seven of these nominees.” So that\u2019s the latest on that. McCain: “Please, please! Make a deal with Dingy Harry. He\u2019s promised he won\u2019t filibuster Supreme Court nominees except in extreme circumstances,” which, you know, you just have to wonder. Do these people in the Senate, do some of these Republicans not pay attention to what the Democrats are doing? How can you miss this? I\u2019m getting the point here I can\u2019t explain it anymore. I\u2019m getting to the point it\u2019s defying all logic. It doesn\u2019t make any sense.<\/p>\n

How can the people closest to these Democrats in the Senate, the Republicans, how can the people who work with them and get treated the way they are by them daily not see them as they are? How in the world do you think these are people you can make a deal with? Why would you want to make a deal with them when the deal is their deal, when the deal says three of these seven are extreme; you\u2019ve gotta ditch \u2019em? Well, I know one answer is called 2008, and this is where you get into– This is what a lot of this is, except in Starr\u2019s case I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to run for president, but we know Newt is toying with the idea, and McCain said (paraphrasing): “Yeah, I want to be president. I\u2019m going to run. I\u2019m just not going to do it now,” and he\u2019s been chiding John Kerry for being too eager about all this.<\/p>\n

There is news of a different sort coming out of Washington and that is about John Bolton, President Bush\u2019s nominee for UN ambassador. “Bolton has gained momentum despite weeks of intense investigation with at least one wavering Republican now falling into line with the White House.” That would be Senator Lincoln Chafee. He told the Associated Press yesterday that he “reluctantly would support Bolton when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee votes Thursday on whether to recommend Bolton\u2019s confirmation by the full Senate. Democrats are looking ahead to a close committee vote, said they had not yet decided whether they would filibuster the nomination if it got to the Senate.” This is starting to become a joke now. You know, this is almost like the Republicans up there are the biggest bunch of blind bats and dunces that we\u2019ve ever encountered. I mean, can\u2019t they see what\u2019s right in front of their nose?<\/p>\n

“Senator Biden said yesterday that Democrats would not stall the committee vote but said he would push the panel\u2019s chairman, Richard Lugar, to hold off until Democrats received information they had requested from the State Department and the National Security Agency.” Another committee Democrat, Christopher Dodd, he of waitress sandwich fame with Senator Kennedy, said, “We got another couple days. I\u2019m optimistic that we\u2019ll get a good committee vote. If we don\u2019t then we\u2019ll decide about a filibuster,” said Dodd who commented after committee Democrats met for more than an hour Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Chafee said that despite his apprehensions, he decided to support the nominee because he believes Bush or any chief executive should be able to choose his own team. “I won\u2019t deny a lot of the information certainly brings great pause but I fight the administration on so many issues. This is one I\u2019ve been with them on to appoint their team. I\u2019m not going to fight the administration on this.” Now, I\u2019ve been thinking about this, too. What really is it that upsets these people about John Bolton? I think it\u2019s real simple. I think he\u2019s a man. He\u2019s not a wuss. He\u2019s not a girlie man.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not a wimp. He\u2019s not one of these guys that worries about, you know, all these feelings. “Can\u2019t hurt feelings!” You know, he\u2019s a guy that worries about getting the job done — and if you can\u2019t do the job, then we\u2019re going to get somebody in here who can. He\u2019s an old-fashioned man. Just a plain old-fashioned capital M, capital A, capital N, man. Now they\u2019re making fun of his mustache and the way he looks, but to hell with that! The way he acts, he\u2019s an old-fashioned man. I think he\u2019s intimidating. I think he\u2019s too decisive. I think he\u2019s too certain of himself. He doesn\u2019t see enough nuance. He doesn\u2019t understand. Plus he\u2019s Bush\u2019s guy, and his nomination actually is about much more than him; it\u2019s about Bush\u2019s foreign policy, and the Democrats trying to sabotage that as well as our relationship with the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Now, this is Wednesday, anything can happen tomorrow. Anything can happen the rest of the day. These Democrats could say, “Ah, we\u2019re not going to do this. Go ahead and have a vote.” We\u2019ll believe it when it happens, the same thing as if it was reported — well, Voinovich still on the fence, but we\u2019ll wait and see. Lugar thinks he\u2019s got the votes here or we wouldn\u2019t be having the vote; bottom line.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m sitting here; I\u2019m fuming. I thought we weren\u2019t supposed to “attack judges.” When DeLay or me or anybody talks about the need to rein in the judiciary, why, we\u2019re accused of fomenting violence against these people, right? And yet here\u2019s Dingy Harry and all these Democrats that can run around and call these people radical and say that they sound like “Islamic Jihadists.” I thought we weren\u2019t supposed to criticize or attack judges! Several of these nominees are sitting lower-court judges, including two of whom are elected state Supreme Court justices.<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019re elected, and so we\u2019ve got the Democrats out there virtually trashing them, trying to destroy them, giving speeches where they sound like Islamic Jihadists. They\u2019re radical. They\u2019re like Clarence Thomas. I guess it\u2019s okay to attack Clarence Thomas as well. As for McCain, would somebody tell me, would just one person tell me why should McCain\u2019s Republican colleagues in the Senate care what he says? He doesn\u2019t care what they say.<\/p>\n

In fact, McCain has built a political career stiffing his Republican colleagues if you ask me. Why should everybody care what he says? Because he\u2019s approved and has the DC establishment seal of approval. Next, who gets to define extreme nominees? Hmm? Radical Democrats like Reid, Boxer, Hillary, Schumer and Leahy? You know damn well they\u2019re the ones that will define extreme nominees. They get to define what\u2019s extreme, when Bush is authorized under the Constitution to make these nominations. I don\u2019t know if the Republicans even have the gravitas to run the Senate.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Joe in New York City. Hi, Joe. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I have to take exception to your apparent assumption that Ken Starr\u2019s position on the whole judicial filibuster thing is just a contrived device to curry favor with the media or the liberals or wherever you seem to think it is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, this is great. Another guy who doesn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no. What do you mean?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Like I said, you know, it\u2019s one thing to oppose killing the filibustering of judges because of something. It\u2019s quite another thing to describe what the Republicans are doing as radical. It\u2019s not radical what the Republicans want to do. The nuclear option is not radical. What the Democrats are doing is radical. I\u2019m not upset with Starr. He can disagree, whatever he wants. It\u2019s the way he goes about and attacks the Republicans that falls in lockstep with the Democrats that I\u2019m suspicious of.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you\u2019re a little bit ahead of me because I didn\u2019t actually see the interview. He may have described it as radical, but if that\u2019s what you\u2019re complaining about then perhaps you have a point. But I still don\u2019t see — he may even honestly believe that it\u2019s a radical idea that may be, if nothing else, possibly imprudent. I don\u2019t know how Senate procedures work but if there\u2019s a major —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well I do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that he may disagree with.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. All right. This is the kind of guy that they\u2019d like to have in the United Nations. This is gobbledygook. I have to tell you, this is mashed potatoes. We gotta give everybody the benefit of the doubt. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He can say whatever he wants to say but to set out to attack what the Republicans are doing as radical, come on now. He doesn\u2019t have to go that far. He doesn\u2019t have to do that. It\u2019s amazing. What the Republicans are doing is radical. Nominating originalist judges is radical. What Harry Reid and the others are saying — how come nobody is calling me and talking to me about how dangerous the rhetoric is coming out of Harry Reid and Patrick Leahy? How come nobody is worried about the fact that Leahy is calling Janice Rogers Brown, the judge from California on the Supreme Court out there, an Islamic Jihadist?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re supposed to give Leahy the benefit of the doubt on that, too? (doing impression) “Well, maybe he just has a very strong sense of disagreement.” Well, we\u2019re not supposed to be able to attack judges in this country. I thought that was the lesson that popped up after Schiavo. I think the call screener is in on the action. I think they\u2019re trying to push me over the edge here today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
