After spending time in Philadelphia, Boston and Washington D.C., I am more persuaded that the system of government that we operate under is as close to perfect that can be had on this planet. However, it is people that corrupt the system through their greed and selfish motives.
Tonight, the Republican Senate majority has called a 30-hour session to bring a serious matter to the attention of the American people. Over the course of the past year, the Democrat minority has stomped all over the U.S. Constitution by breaking the rules of the Senate in their intent to not allow a cloture vote on the President\’s nominees to the judiciary.
It is the first time in the history of our Nation that the minority party has attempted to change the rules to their advantage, forsaking the adherence to the Constitution that has gone before for nearly 230 years. There is no problem with attempting to filibuster discussion on a nominee for a period of time. However, there is NO precedent for filibustering an up or down vote on a President\’s judicial nominee. Well, the Democrats are changing the rules… again.
I hope the Republicans do everything within their power to take control of this situation and allow the nominations of these judges to come to a Senate up or down vote. The story is making news.
Hey, you Democrats… when are you going to figure out that you are on the wrong side of what is right for America? Do you doubt it? Perhaps you should pick up a copy of A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat by Zell Miller. Zell is a lifelong democrat, has served in the Georgia State Senate, as a two-term Governor and now in the U.S. Senate. He is the only democrat I know of that has the courage to stand up and tell the truth about his own political party. Highly recommended for those of you still in denial about what the beloved Democrat party has become.
Smell the coffee? Time to wake up…
