Aside from the issue of the threshold for fillibusters (which threshold the Democrats will likely be above for a very long time), we want a loyal Chair in that Committee--one who will serve our Platform with regards to judicial issues.
It's bad enough that we're having to put up with the consolidation of two powers between the judicial and legislative. Our judicial branch lawmakers compromised with feminazis in several administrations to fill their pockets with our children's inheritances, but that practice stops here. The divorce/cohabitation industry is through.
Please elaborate on the "divorce cohabitation industry" and how that pertains to this particular discussion. I don't always follow every line of argument in these forums.
My general view on this subject is people are wasting a lot of energy that could used more productively elsewhere. Specter will get in line.
