If Reid and gang continue to filibuster them, I'm game!

GO NUCLEAR! (Response to NRO Editorial)

Excerpt:

On the other hand, there is the "nuclear option". Unfortunately, the "nuclear option" appears to be the only option at this point. The next four years are likely to provide an historic opportunity for a conservative President, George W. Bush, to shape a Supreme Court comprised of a few more "strict constructionists"; a Supreme Court which values the rule of law, the separation of powers, and American tradition.

This opportunity must not be squandered.

As for the soon-to-be-outraged Democrats? Well, is there really any doubt that the party that invented "Borking" and has beaten the process down to the disgraceful low-point we now have would "go nuclear" if the shoes were on the other feet? Please.... OF COURSE they would.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest or Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Wait and see. I don't think they have the er... fortitude to do this. They never even demanded a real filibuster. These were "Gentlemen's Filibusters." They were allowed to do other business and come back to the filibuster later. Either it's a filibuster or ya don't come back.

Thanks for the ping.

Thanks for reading and for your kind words!

I have thought for the past two years that the single most important domestic issue in the recent Presidential election was the judiciary, and especially the Supreme Court. We need to keep our eyes wide open.

Just an excellent piece o' writing that I just happen to agree with. I also took a quick look at the thread you linked for some additional background and it looks like we're in good company on FR.

I would add that our Pubbie senators need to keep front and center, this ain't about them. They were sent there to do a job for the people that sent 'em -- that's us. The unprecedented gains in the last 3 election cycles should give 'em some additional backbone - we'll see. It could be they are so accustomed to being losers, they haven't gotten the hang of "winning" yet. Add to that, the Dims are a vicious bunch that are hell bent on socializing America. A more wild-eyed group we aren't likely to see in our lifetimes. Logical, rational, linear arguments won't, and can't, work on 'em. Raw constitutional power is what it will take, and our senators are on obligated to exercise it on our behalf.

Could the nuclear option precede a polar shift in the electorate? I'm betting it can and this scares the bejeebers out of the Dims. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch o' socialists.

Thanky fer the pink Meek.
