[Choose Ye This Day]

The problem is many, not all, of the people that are expressing anger are simply angry people. Even if they got what they wanted, and in reality they really don't want it, they would still be unhappy. There is a class of people on both sides that thrive on outrage.

With all due repect, I believe that the MAJORITY of us who are angry about the filibuster issue are normally pretty low-key. But it is understandably frustrating to see the minority party, which has lost big in the last three election cycles, now control the momentum of our judicial appointments. We won. We are in control. Our President has the right to nominate good judges and have them voted on.

Amendment: We are *supposed to be* in control.

While there can't be an example of judicial appointment, there are many other appointments we held up as the minority party in the 90's. Sure it's frustrating. But then again, we got Scalia and Thomas through the morass. So why can't we do it with the others. Oh and sometimes even they manage to torque off the FR masses.
