The Democrats want no part of being perceived in shutting down the Senate on a debate about national security, but can I tell you the truth? The truth is they care more about the judges than they care about Iran. They care more about the judges than they do national security. They care far more about it. This business of the courts, it is central to them. I'll tell you why. Even if they continue to lose elections, if they can keep the court predominantly liberal, the appellate courts and the district courts, if they can keep those courts predominantly liberal, they will have insurance against losing elections.

I believe that if the left had its way, they would eventually come up with a way for the judiciary to do away with elections and they would just retain all power.

Good rant today. I hope his optimistic view of things is right. Sometimes we tend to get a little negative about the state of affairs, but I suspect that's just the constant drumbeat from the press getting to us.

IMHO Rush proved during his program today, yet again, that he is an American treasure.

If the Democrats were b*tch-slapped in the face, they still won't recognize reality. They're America's Ostrich Party.

The Dems have squandered an awful lot of political capital over what amounts to a fairly marginal issue of some federal judges. I don't really get it. Not that judges aren't important... of course they are and especially now.

But... there's going to be bigger issues for them to spend their treasure on and maybe fairly soon. By the time a supreme court nomination comes along, they'll be played out as obstructionist and they'll have a harder time getting any traction.

I think.

I pray the Republicans have the guts to do what must be done to preserve the nation from our out-of-control federal judiciary. I am an Ohioan, I've written my two wavering political scum-mongers - my letters were not insulting, but indeed were angry - and they better show more support for the President!

"I believe that if the left had its way, they would eventually come up with a way for the judiciary to do away with elections and they would just retain all power."

They're obviously working on it:
why else would it be so important to them to retain a lock on the judiciary?

[lawdude]

I used to think Rush was a true analytical genius. Then, I realized he merely echoed my thoughts and beliefs. Well, since I ain't no genius, either is he. He is Mr. Mainstream, Ms. Flyover or Ms. home school mom.

He is us! Just listen to him for a week any you will agree.

[Bullish]

If the left had its way the whole world would turn into the USSR writ large.

Starting with America.

[crz]

Control the law and you control the nation.

Plain and simple. And that is what they are up to.

[expatpat]

if you're a minority member, black population member of this country, you see now.....Your color, your race, your minority status, your little-guy status, your story of self-reliance doesn't impress them. In fact, it threatens them.

The 'rats refuse to give their black members any major role in the Party. They are deathly afraid that the blacks may take over the Party and shut the white limousine liberals out. What would the Swimmer, and Leahy, and Boxer, et al do then?

[GOPJ]

Democrats... they've been in denial. I don't think that the reality that they have lost all these elections and this power has really set in. I think it's just now starting to. You know, their allies in the mainstream press are able to create this image that those guys still run Washington and still run the country... If they lose this filibuster business and if these nominees get on the court, I think it is going to be one of the most profound delayed reactions in all of civilization, because I think they're just now on the verge and precipice of admitting that they're actually losing, that after all these years, these losses are not a mirage. They're not temporary. They're not just quirks in the political system. They're not because slick Republican marketing and packaging -- and if they go down the tubes in this filibuster fight of theirs, which I think they're going to go down the tubes on, you're going to see... people who have been avoiding reality and in utter denial for this long who finally wake up to it overnight, it's not going to be pretty, and they are going to lash out and become even more extreme wacko and kooky.

If he's thinks it's going to be bad for the dems, wait til he see members of the MSM start to "get it". Katie, bar the door.

[TheForceOfOne]

I listened to that today and it just proves how dense they're.

These idiots may need to be caged when the truth finally kicks in and the party breaks into a free for all backstabbing wraslin match, complete with folding chairs being slammed on each others backs.

Michael Moore will silently slither up to Canada and hide.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

The courts may be more important to them at this juncture than having a majority of Senate Democrats in control, given the prospects of the future.

Rush nails it again.

[hosepipe]

Reality needs to set in with the Republicans...
i.e. Show me a republican that will turn down a government check.. Republican party today is what the democrat party used to be.. AND the democrat party has been a socialist organization.. for 40 years.. at least.. Republican Party is living on an old rep.. as is the democrat party. Neither are what they seem.. Democrats are neo-communists and the republicans are neo-socialists.. and be advised communism "IS" socialism..

[Caipirabob]

Thanks for the post! I still give rush the "hit" on his site, but it's easier to read the text here - lol!

We're ALREADY at that stage. These days it doesn't matter if you have a big electoral majority. Any legislation or ballot initiatives which go against the liberal agenda keep getting struck down by the judges. We're already at the stage where the legislature is just a figleaf covering up the reality of judicial power.

The Left does not HAVE to get legislation passed to ban guns, if they can do it with lawsuits against gun manufactorers

The LEFT does not HAVE to pass legislation against nuke power if they can win lawsuits and delay construction in court

The control of the courts is the key to the Left's power right now, along with the civil service bureaucrats they have inserted into the various agencies over the years. They will not let it go without fighting like cornered 'Rats

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
