How about by not trampling on the minority... especially a minority that can summon a majority on many of the more right-wing proposals? How is insisting on a vote trampling on the minority? .... Repubs have the majority of the votes in the Senate, House, and the White House. Yes, but the far right does not have a majority, even within the Republican Party. That's why the 'nuclear option' and arm-twisting... why do several Republican Senators say that they've been 'beat up' by the Bush cabinet? What does that have to do with getting them to "just vote dammit"? ... What else do they need to get a few judges approved? Pick judges that aren't fascist whackoes. In your opinion only. But it's not your job or priviledge to decide if they are fascist. At this point it is the Senate's job and a minority of Senators are holding up the process. The minority should not have the power to shut down the system if they don't like what's going on. The minority never does like what's going on, that's why they are the minority. The dems only have to convince a few measly Senators that these appointees are "fascist". If they can't do it, then what rights should they have to block them from taking the bench? Did it amount to 'mob rule' in your book back in the early 1990s when Newt Gengrich led the Republican minority in the exact same kind of tactics? I already said ,"I would be just as mad if the repubs pulled this crap", but you snipped it. I was too young at the time to care about Newt, but yes it was dirty politics. Did you have a point? NO, he just choose to lie....Newt G, was the speaker of the house , he had absolutely NO power in the Senate. THe liebrals are desparate and will do anything not to give up power......unfortunately, a few spineless moderate republicans don't know how to act like a majority. |
