DEMS ASK PRES THE IMPOSSIBLE RE FILIBUSTER BUST
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Dems are at it again: illogic to the nth degree. Figures.
This time they are demanding of the United States President George W. Bush that he bow low to their demands, as if Mr. Bush has no feel for the dirty games maneuvers of the Dems. Come on, Dems. You want to play fair, you broadcast; then let’s get with the program.
"Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada and top Judiciary Committee Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont called on Bush on Monday to oppose attempts to ban judicial filibusters.
"’We urge you to make clear to Senate Republican leaders that you do not favor the so-called "nuclear option," which would remove an important check on executive power,’ they said in a letter to the White House. ‘Instead, let us work together to identify consensus judicial candidates,’" according to the AP.
"’Let us work together. . .’" Oh yeah. Since when?
Just because the Senate Monday confirmed Mr. Bush’s first judicial nominee, 95-0, does not a cordial Dem pack make. No way. Yet the Dems are using that display case vote as their usual hospitality toward Mr. Bush’s nominees. As if the President wore blinders, right?
The Republicans have threatened they will shut down the needless, day care center mode of filibuster if Dems stop progress on the President’s judicial nominees. The Dems have threatened to counter by shutting down all Congressional action until the Republicans wise up and scrape before the Dem company of fools.
"Senators on a 95-0 vote confirmed Paul Crotty as a U.S. District judge for New York state. With Crotty's confirmation, Bush has put 205 trial and appellate judges on the federal court since becoming president.
"’It is my hope that we will be able to move other nominees to the Senate floor for confirmation,’ said Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.)."
Hope again, Senator.
You and the world know that the Dems put on a nice party show for Crotty. But they are salivating to get their fangs into the real Ten put in the trash can the last time Mr. Bush put them up for judicial seats. That trash can mode will surface again and the whole world knows it.
"Democrats have blocked 10 of Bush's 52 appeals court nominations through filibuster threats, while allowing Republicans to confirm 34 others. They have said they plan to keep blocking those 10 if they are brought up for confirmation again.
"In return, the GOP has threatened to change the Senate rules to ban filibusters of judicial nominees."
Bottom line: no one can convert the Dems to civility. No one.
Stay tuned.
