Judical showdown in Senate this week
 

Any thoughts? IMO, if Bushs nominees get appointed, they are gonna try to push his anti gay legislation and anti abortion issues through. Last generation was the civil rights issue and i think our generations issue will be our privacy. but all that aside, i think a minority fillibuster is necessary for checks and balances. both parties have used filibusters, and i dont see how this judicial nominees should be exempt.

no.

I have a thought. Bill Frist is a moron.

I do agree that once the nominees are appointed, they will push the anti gay and anti abortion issues.

The filibusters issue is not one I’m all that familiar with, however, I do understand why it is used and what it is used for. That being said, really a simple yes or no vote should be the end of whether or not legislation is being passes. The blocking of such things using the filibuster tactic doesn't seem very moral for lack of a better term. Obviously the only reason the republicans are introducing the new legislation of filibusters is so they can pass what they want without the dems blocking it. Normally I’d say "well they earned the right to pass what they want since the majority in the house and senate are now republicans", but to be honest, "earned the right" is not a term I use to describe the current situation in the US government.
