First off Pres. Bush has never said he want 100% of his Judges approved, I'm sure he'd like that but all he wants is for them to have an up or down vote in the Senate. If the dems don't like the judges they can vote nay, but since they know they don't have the votes to stop them from being approved they playing this filibuster game.Oh.. k.. now lets get started.
Bush has never said he wants 100% of his nominees approved? Has Bush said which ones he doesn't want approved? I know if I appointed nominees, I'd want them all approved, otherwise I wouldn't have nominated them. Uh.. say it like Butthead now.. uh-huh.
So what the hell does that mean anyway? He'd "like" to have them all approved, but he never actually said that? So fucking what? Christ on a shingle..
Then he goes on to say that the democrats can simply vote no in a floor vote, then acknowledges this would be futile because they don't have enough votes to stop the confirmation. Uh-huh.. duh!
So.. you're a Democrat and you know you're in that position that a floor vote will pass, and in order to block a nomination your only tool is the "within the rules" filibuster, what do you do? Do you do something meaningful and effectively block the nomination, or do you just let it go through with a weak "we tried"?
This whole issue has just become silly. With the approval rating of Congress at about 30%, don't you think the better approach would be to nominate a more moderate judge and get them confirmed?
Only in the United State can the President's approval rating hover around 40%, with Congress around 30%, and we still have right wing nutbags think there is some sort of "man-date". Yes.. America is starting to come around..
I'll check later today over at our favorite freepers blog to read his post about military men dying for lack of equipment. He'll have to get some advice about how to deal with it from the Free Republic first though. There must be some way to pin it on the Democrats.. or they'll tell him just to ignore it.
