Jon Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate, warned president-elect Barack Obama that he would filibuster U.S. Supreme Court appointments if those nominees were too liberal.

I was thinking that if our generous hosts in the area don't sober up and retract their offers, we could pile in on them for one night, and then piss off to a more rustic environment to party for a couple of days.
But I still think we're going to need some rooms.
Of course, I'd be perfectly happy to pitch my tent in someone's back yard, but I'm not sure how the neighbors would take that

Oh, I get that, but we can handle sleeping in the tent, if nothing else. We're quite cozy.
Or: Maybe we could rent a couple of small campers and park them somewhere? That would handle ten or so, if we can get our hands on them.

As great as it was to see Rahm's creature Tim Mahoney go down in FL-16 yesterday (along with fellow fake Dems Nick Lampson and Don Cazayoux) it's mind boggling how many conservative Democrats were recruited in this cycle. (Please don't say "But he doesn't run the DCCC any more." He's still on the recruitment committee, which is "run" by one of his shills, Artur Davis and how much sway he has over Chris Van Hollen is only an argument about degree.) So let's remember Rahm Emanuel when we start watching the votes roll in from Bobby Bright (AL), Parker Griffith (AL), Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ), Suzanne Kosmas (FL), Debbie Halvorson (IL), Frank Kratovil (MD), Harry Teague (NM), Michael McMahon (NY), Steve Dreihaus (OH), John Boccieri (OH), Gerald Connolly (VA), and Glenn Nye (VA)-- a dozen new voices against progressive values and ideals.
My emotions aren't all that mixed. Obama's ties to the Democratic Leadership Council have been very disturbing for years. So has his close friendship with DLC Leading Light Emanuel and his approval if not active involvement in Emanuel's campaign to recruit harsher and harsher conservatives as local Democratic candidates. Commenter Mark Gisleson recently dismissed Obama's ties to the DLC on the specious grounds that Obama had demanded the DLC stop using his name. But Emanuel is still his best bud and his voting record still shows all those embarrassing alliances with Rahm's corporate agenda. Not to mention that little meeting with Wall Street honchos weeks before the election to assure them that they had nothing to worry about from an Obama presidency. Next to those actions, Mark, a PR move like removing his name from a politically unpopular list (the Dem base hates the DLC) doesn't have a lot of weight.
And now Emanuel is liable to be COS - the WH post with the closest and most personal access to the president, and the launching pad for Dick Cheney's career as the ultimate insider and master WH gamesplayer - controlling access and pushing agendas. This is not a comforting thought. The most powerful forces in the conservative wing of the Democratic party are already lining up to make sure BO stays with their agenda, a slightly milder version of Bush's imperialistic, corporate-friendly policies, no matter how badly they've failed or how loudly we demand a different course. We got this guy elected and they want to make sure he ignores us.

As long as Obama makes Republicans scramble in dread of the next mid-terms and then picks good-looking people with photogenic children and the ability to answer questions with slick evasion--progressive but pretending to be center-right a bonus--then he will have no problem getting them confirmed.

Or the thousands that gathered to celebrate at schools all over the country: such as the University of Wisconsin, the University of Michigan, UC-Berkeley, the University of Minnesota, the University of Pennsylvania , and Penn State.

I second this! If Kyl wants to filibuster, make him go through a Mr Smith Fuckin' Goes to Washington filibuster, his bladder full, sweat pouring down his face, throat dry and cracking. Let Bachmann spew sixteen hours of crap just to make sure that some evolution-lovin' judge doesn't get nominated. Post the C-SPAN coverage of the madness on Youtube, and see a filibuster-proof majority ensue.
