This just occurred to me a little while ago. What about forcing the Dems hands another way? The House could draw up articles of impeachment for large numbers of liberal federal judges on the grounds that they have violated their oaths of office by issuing tortured misinterpretations of clear laws. No filibuster in the House. The Senate would then have to vote to impeach or not to impeach those judges. I'm pretty sure there's no filibuster on impeachment votes either. Not that the Dems wouldn't try...

The impeachment articles could be withdrawn when the President's court nominees get the up or down votes they are constitutionally required to get.

The Congress already has the authority to disband or restructure all the courts under the Supreme Court. Why not just abolish all the courts and start over?

Article III Section I

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

very cool idea; while not quite as nuclear in Human Events they talk about the House taking a more active role in judges and in highlighting judicial activism... Myself, I'd like to see ads next year saying, do we want 's judges making rulings outlawing the pledge of alegience? Mix in with children in classrooms, etc...Vote Bush who believes in the values that make America great!

There are not 70 votes in the House for that.
