Sowell rightly speaks to the importance of the Senate in confirming federal judges. The GOP taking the Senate in 2014 would allow it to block some of the radical appointments Obama is making to the federal bench and should turn another far left Supreme Court nomination into a fight.
However, the GOP leadership has already signaled that a GOP majority would return to the old Senate rules effectively giving Harry Reid power to be an obstructionist and use his bullying tactics to further Obama’s agenda.
What good is a Senate win in 2014 if the Republicans give the Democrats effective veto power through the old filibuster rules?

The GOP’s weakness is only surpassed by its own stupidity.
