The "Nuclear Option" heats up
Bill Frist has threatened to change the Senate rules to outlaw filibusters against judicial nominees, and now Bob Novak is saying he has the votes. Only John McCain and two other Republicans oppose this move.
I come to this from a Constitutional perspective. I don't care if Republicans are in the minority again, filibustering nominees, creating a supermajority where there is not in the Constitution is ridiculous. I hope Frist has the fortitude to set the bomb off, becuase it is time. Time to end this Constitutional malarkey, time to strip obstructionists of a weapon that that they have used to upset the balance of power in the branches of government.
Liberals have given up legislating from Congress, there they obstruct anything they don't agree with, and try to get judges who will legislate for them, pulling out hokey descisions like Roe v. Wade and Miranda v. Arizona (I'll see you in hell, Earl Warren). America must do everything in its power to get judges who believe in the Constitution on the bench, and not those who follow international law to seek their outcomes. Singapore has a law legalizing caneing for chewing gum, is the 9th Circut going to follow that one?
Come on, Dr. Strangelove, drop the bomb. The liberals don't have a Doomsday Device.
