Well, I'll tell you what: they had damned well better start. It is OUR civil rights that are in danger. "Are you now, or have you ever been, a conservative?" was just accepted as a valid reason to reject an appointee.

Howdy

The redefinition of the advise and consent role of the senate to include an Orwellian probe into the political leanings of nominees is an unprincipled abuse of the Constitution.

We have American sons and daughters fighting and dying to preserve the Constitution, but the disordered minds of a craven pack of liberal barbarians figuratively scrawl across that priceless document with their crayons.

Intolerable.

Usurping Executive branch powers to serve momentary political expediency is the act of an unprincipled child. When unprincipled children behave poorly they are corrected, when foolish children reach out and grap a hot pan they get a painful burn. When similarly unsocialized socialists behave poorly there has to be some kind of corrective feedback.

Call Rush, call your congressfolks, make some noise here, the issue of legal sanctions for creating a constitutional crisis needs to be raised. At the very least a civil action should be brought against the senate judiciary committee by the executive branch seeking restoration of the constitutionally defined roles of the branches of government.

If we let this stand the constitution is going to gather more crayon edits, either correct the barbarians or stand by for more barbarism.

Pretty simple stuff.
