What is "loosers"?

[Mr. Peabody]

What is "loosers"?

It's when multiple items are no longer as snug as they used to be.

[Oh, Gee!!]

You know what they say, lose lips sink ships. Only loosers would disagree.

Is this a commentary on the practice of female castration?

I'm surprised you can even post since you're so far up his ass.
This wasn't a loss since we didn't have the votes you stupid idiot.

Go back to school and learn how the system works.

That should losen up the debate.

No, no; it can be a noun as in when someone loosens something; they are a "looser."

[Oh, Gee!!]

no, that would be a losener. One who losens items typically knots

[Yonivore]

I believe you're mistaken, that would be "loosener." One who loosens knots and such.

A "looser" is one who frees someone or something. A looser may, for example, loosen a knot in order to loose someone or something. A losener, however, has no ability to deliberately loose anything but must be acted upon by a looser.

Or something like that.

What the hell where the Dems supposed to do? Kinda disappointed that, what was it? 19 Dems decided for closure, but I bet it would have been a tighter if vote if the Senators thought they had the filibuster votes, or close to it. Liberals didn't lose today. We all lost. Expect affirmative action and corporate rights over those of the individual to be the first targets.


Roll Call of the Cloture Vote

The Associated Press tallied the 72-25 vote:

On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote to end the debate and a "no" vote was a vote to filibuster the nomination.

Voting "yes" were 19 Democrats and 53 Republicans.
Voting "no" were 24 Democrats and one independent.!

Democrats Yes

Akaka, Hawaii; Baucus, Mont.; Bingaman, N.M.; Byrd, W.Va.; Cantwell, Wash.; Carper, Del.; Conrad, N.D.; Dorgan, N.D.; Inouye, Hawaii; Johnson, S.D.; Kohl, Wis.; Landrieu, La.; Lieberman, Conn.; Lincoln, Ark.; Nelson, Fla.; Nelson, Neb.; Pryor, Ark.; Rockefeller, W.Va.; Salazar, Colo.

Democrats No

Bayh, Ind.; Biden, Del.; Boxer, Calif.; Clinton, N.Y.; Dayton, Minn.; Dodd, Conn.; Durbin, Ill.; Feingold, Wis.; Feinstein, Calif.; Kennedy, Mass.; Kerry, Mass.; Lautenberg, N.J.; Leahy, Vt.; Levin, Mich.; Menendez, N.J.; Mikulski, Md.; Murray, Wash.; Obama, Ill.; Reed, R.I.; Reid, Nev.; Sarbanes, Md.; Schumer, N.Y.; Stabenow, Mich.; Wyden, Ore.

Some of what we may be facing is covered well in a article from Political Affairs called The Alito Stakes (http://www.politicalaffairs.net/article/articleview/2660/1/148)


While affirmative action has been undermined and its defenders forced to fight defensive battles since the Bakke decision (1978) no one should have any doubts that a far right majority would eliminate it entirely. The Miranda and Gideon decisions, placing restrictions on police conduct and providing defendants with the right to counsel, two precedents long condemned by the judicial right, would probably be reversed. The worst abuses of the "Patriot Act," the wiretaps, searches, seizures, and preventive detentions would be upheld, encouraging police agencies to carry them even further.

The "new federalism" doctrine would be carried forward in cases sustaining the power of the president over Congress, the power of the President and/or Congress over the States, the power of both the federal and state government over the individual. What the old New Dealer Bert Gross called "friendly fascism" in the Nixon years, that is a great expansion of executive power and privilege, especially police power advancing under the cloak of constitutional forms, would advance much more rapidly with Supreme Court support.

There would be no Supreme Court to uphold the New York Times as the Court did when it published the Pentagon Papers in 1971. There would be no federal judiciary to stop a president from "getting" the Washington Post, as Richard Nixon privately swore he would do after the first Watergate revelations were published. There would be no Supreme Court to compel a president to turn over documents showing criminal acts as the Supreme Court compelled the Nixon administration to turn over transcripts of the Watergate tapes in 1974.

Actions like Nixon’s attempt to launch an anti-Semitic purge in the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1971 to feed his own paranoid prejudices, and the Reagan administration’s flouting of congressional resolutions by both selling arms to Iran and siphoning off some of the profits to the Nicaraguan contras, would become normal acts. A president could legally and literally get away with murder, which is the foundation of tyranny.

The U.S. government in such a context might look more and more like Greece before the colonels coup of 1967, that is, a government where widespread illegality and criminality was not checked or balanced by anything except a small section of the press and legislature that was willing to seek to uncover and expose its abuses.

Good thing Hillary jumped on the filibuster bandwagon, she's obviously got a good feel for what the American people want in a President. They are sooooo hearing what she has to say. The southpaw has come out of the closet! :lol

I'll give everyone an example of this new conservatism phenomenom has come back to bite conservatives in a$$. On a local weekend radio show in Houston recently a caller posed a question to the show. The show is called Heresay which is hosted by a conservative and liberal lawyer. The question from the caller was about medical negligence that caused the death of her spouse. Both attorneys agreed with the caller that the facts of the case showed gross negligence on behelf of the hospital and by the medical staff and told the caller she had a strong case and that a lawsuit was appropriate... but the conservative attorney said she would probably not find an attorney because of the cap on punitive damages that was passed by a state referendum. She responded that she was in favor of it until she was a victim .. the conservative attorney also agreed it was a raw deal.... an example on how alito's political leanings will come back to bite some of you.. you desreve it..

It is always amazing to me how politicos can convince people to vote against their own interests. That entire medical malpractice issue did nothing but increase profit margins for the insurance industry. However, the politicians convinced everyone that unless they voted for the caps, all the doctors would quit practicing medicine.

I agree. I think the holdings of the Court will have a conservative slant, but Roe v. Wade has been the law for quite a while now.

[Oh, Gee!!]

true, but a number of factors must come together before a case will even make its way to SCOTUS. Then, each justice's interpretation of the const. will come into play along with other judicial considerations. I would say that overturning Roe v. Wade and its progeny (irony) would be unlikely.

[FromWayDowntown]

The med mal thing is a scare tactic that worked -- sort of. Rick Perry is running ads pimping the business climate of Texas by saying that lawsuit reform has made for better health care in the state. But there's little or no corroboration for Perry's claim. A story in the January 23, 2006 edition of "Texas Lawyer" (a weekly newspaper-like periodical for lawyers) examined Perry's claims and showed that there was little connection.

For instance, proponents of the caps say that there were more doctors licensed after the caps were put in place than before. But the Texas Board of Medical Examiners' statistics show that there were 3,000 new doctors licensed between 2003-2005 (after the caps) and 3,000 new doctors licensed between 2001-2003 (before the caps). So lawsuit reform hasn't immediately produced more doctors in Texas. Likewise, those who argued for the caps said that the legislation would ensure more doctors (particularly OB/GYN) would serve in traditionally underserved areas, claiming for example that before the caps 60% of Texas counties had no OB/GYN services. Today, 60% of Texas counties have no OB/GYN services. Only major metropolitan areas are seeing any sort of increases in the rate of new doctor licensures. There's also been no apparent increase in the quality of emergency services: Texas got grades of D+ or lower in three of four categories in a report by the American College of Emergency Services, getting D+ in access to emergency care and care/patient safety; and getting a D in patient safety. The overall score for Texas was inflated by an A+ in medical liability reform.

Texas is last in the country in the overall rate of uninsured citizens, is 41st in state spending on hospital care, is 44th in certified ER docs, and is 48th in registered nurses.

About the only ones doing well with lawsuit reform in medical malpractice are doctors, whose negligence essentially goes unchecked except in the most egregious cases, and their insurers, who are coming to realize that medical malpractice cases are going the way of the buffalo.

I wouldn't either, and they'll justify it by claiming states' rights. That's what they really want - take it back to the States and let them decide.
