A dumping ground for the inane...

This whole thing bothers me a bit. I’ve never understood why so many republicans in

the Senate have such a huge problem with anyone but them using the filibuster on the nominations of judges. Here’s the thing, Democrats have the right to filibuster judges if they don’t agree with a Republican nomination. In fact, it’s their duty as a Senator to do so. It’s what they’re supposed to do. What’s great is that I was checking in on a couple of the judges rep. were trying to push through. One of the judges believes that (this is my understanding of what they said) slavery was the best thing that ever happened to white people. Another believed (again, this is my understanding) that a woman’s place was to please her husband. Those are pretty archaic beliefs for judges who would preside over any part of the law. Actually, I would expect this from a Mississippi circuit court in the ‘60, but never any court now. Especially a high court. My favorite quote from the article is this, “’If the Democrat Party continues this, they are going to pay another price in '06,’ said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.” Wow. That’s a threat, if I’m not mistaken. Another great quote is from the beckon of morality and ethical stand points, Trent Lott, “If they don't stop this and we don't come up with some reasonable solution, we will just have to get it on.” Oh, Trent Lott, you’re such a hate-filled man. I love you.
