It would be nice to have 5 more senate seats...
WE DON'T NEED 5 MORE SENATE SEATS.
The Consitution DOES NOT REQUIRE a supermajority or 60 votes to confirm judicial nominees.
It's the democrats WHO CHANGED THE SENATE RULE - but a SENATE RULE DOES NOT TRUMP THE CONSTITUTION.
Yes .. I'm yelling! When are people going to get this truth. The Constitution clearly states there are only 7 items which require a supermajority AND CONFIRMING JUDGES IS NOT - I REPEAT - IS NOT - ONE OF THEM.
It's the democrats who subverted the Constitution and broke 200 years of "advise and consent" and turned it into a requirement for 60 votes.
Even those nominees who got a floor vote but didn't get the 60 votes - HAVE ALL EXCEEDED THE 51 REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THE NOMINEE - so we have 2-3 of those nominees that have actually been confirmed but the dems would not allow it because of their stinking demand for 60 votes.
Sooooo .. here we are trying to get the nominees through again. We will do it this time - and because of this gross abuse of power by the democrats, plus their lack of concern for the LIFE of Terri - they are going to face a terrible defeat in 2006.
