Look at my PREVIOUS THREAD! Wannna do something about it or would rather sit there and whine about how the judges have hijacked lawmaking in America. FromNewsMax

ALERT: The far-leftists at MoveOn.org are at it again -- and this time, they want to stop President Bush from nominating solid conservative judges to the Supreme Court and other federal seats. So WE need to stop THEM, by getting Senators to change one Senate rule -- and stopping their "judicial filibuster". Now you can send YOUR Blast Faxes NOW to the U.S. Senate! On March 16th, MoveOn.org held a rally in Washington, DC, to support the Democrats' UNCONSTITUTIONAL filibustering of President Bush's judicial nominees. Leading the charge at MoveOn's rally was Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd (D-WV) -- the same Sen. Byrd who once said regarding filibuster rules, "This Congress is not obliged to be bound by the dead hand of the past." In fact, it was Sen. Byrd who led the charge to establish new Senate precedents in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1987 -- including a number of precedents that were designed specifically to stop filibusters. So once again, the folks on the left are nothing more than blatant hypocrites. But of course, that's not keeping them from trying to stop the Senate from fulfilling its constitutional duty to "advise and consent" on the President's nominees... so now it's up to YOU and ME to STOP MoveOn.org and their partners-in-crime in the Senate. Now is a GREAT time for you to take a stand against judicial tyranny and Democrat obstructionism. We need to make OUR voices heard LOUDER than the far left's voices. The only reason liberal senators are filibustering these nominees is because they know that each one has the majority support necessary for confirmation. This is typical of liberals -- if they can't win playing by the rules, they change the rules, and that's precisely what they've done with this new concept of "judicial filibusters". Confirmation of a judicial nominee only requires 51 votes, and there are 55 Republican senators. But ending a filibuster requires 60 votes. Senators need to know that you expect them to do their jobs, which includes voting on the confirmation of each judicial nominee. If they oppose one of President Bush's nominees, they have the right to vote against confirmation, in an up-or-down vote before the full Senate. But they do NOT have a right to prevent the Senate from voting at all. |
