5. BOXER PULLS NO PUNCHES!
Everyone, EVERYONE should see this - man does she tell it like it is!
She's giving a GREAT analysis of the whole judicial filibuster deal.
Barbara Boxer pulls no punches!

8. She's schooling them on the republican led filibusters of judges
on the Senate Floor ....:woohoo:

"when they say they(R's) have never filibustered
judges on the Senate floor tell them They are making it
up."

Thank goodness for Senator Boxer

9. Janice R. Brown is way outside the mainstream to the extreme
"she's living on another planet"

10. She's bringing up WHY Janice Rogers Brown should NOT be approved
This is wonderful! "The Story of Janice Rogers Brown: - against mimimum wage and protections for the poor & elderly, says managers can use racial slurs against employees - Boxers says Brown is "living on another planet!", and it's RIGHT to STOP her! YEAH!!!

12. it's a great presentation
This is devastating - there are so many reasons to oppose Brown on the court, and she's outlining every one. How any Republican could put the entire workings of the Senate on the line for the likes of Janice Rogers Brown is just insane.

Boxer is just terrific. Terrific.

16. I was watching her on CSPAN last night
and she was all upset about a racially charged cartoon about her and Condi and Powell. But then she upheld the 1st amendment. So I guess that's her reason for saying that managers can use slurs against employees.

17. "Send us someone else
and we will be delighted to work with you. "

Superb speech.

I've been saying all along that Bush would not lose face if he presented 10 others based on suggestions. Boxer is right.
