Repugs Can't Stop Estrada Filibuster
Senate repugs failed today to break a Democratic blockade on Miguel Estrada's nomination for a federal appeals court judgeship, dealing pResident Evil his first major defeat since the GOP won control of Congress in November. The vote was 55-44, with four of the usual asslicking stooges DINOs breaking ranks: Zell Miller of Georgia, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida and John Breaux of Louisiana.

Bob Graham of Florida, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, missed the vote. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Kitten Kevorkian, said the GOP will try again later to break the filibuster, but Tom 'that's Mister Isadora to you!' Daschle warned that future votes would have the same result. - link.
