Republicans Fail to Force Senate Vote on Bolton's U.N. Nomination
Senate Democrats once again blocked the nomination of John R. Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations this evening, rejecting pressure from President Bush to give Mr. Bolton a vote on his confirmation.
The Republican leadership's attempt to shut off debate and move to actual confirmation fell six votes short of the 60 required. Today's vote of 54 to 38 was reminiscent of a vote last month, when Mr. Bolton's backers failed by four votes to shut off debate.
The next phase of the long-running fight over Mr. Bolton is not immediately clear. There was some conjecture today that President Bush might choose to install him as ambassador through a temporary appointment while Congress is in recess.
Three Democrats - Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana - voted to end debate. A Republican, George Voinovich of Ohio, crossed party lines and voted to keep the filibuster going.
Get on those three halfwits and remind them who pays their electoral bill, and send another pat to Voinovich, crossing the floor on a filibuster, especially when he didn't have to, needs love.
And the margin has grown, from 4 to 6 votes. Its not much, but its not nothing.
When you push on the immovable object long and hard enough, it gives a fraction. Keep it up folks, the ball will start rolling soon.
