As the hand-wringing over judicial filibusters continues its tedious course in Washington, Senators McCain, Hagel, Snowe, Warner and Chafee have become the “Litany of Losers” to the majority voters of 2004.
The e-mail appeals via a convenient link in “Beyond the News” may be helpful—if they are successful in connecting to the senators. Last night, I received two failure notices on e-mails sent to Senators Warner and Chafee.
The people of the U.S. voted for change in Washington. We elected a Republican majority for many reasons, a key one being the rescue of our judiciary from the reactionary to the rational, the return to the rule of law rather than the clutch of emotion.
And We The People are fed-up and furious that those Senators we worked hard to put into office are refusing to represent us on this issue.
We don’t care what will happen with majorities in 3, 5, or 8 years. We want the Senate to take care of today’s business, and today’s business is getting the judicial nominees approved by an up-or-down vote. Stop acting like Democrats, jealous of your power and any potential threat to it.
Stiffen up those marshmallow spines and get this done for us. If you fail, enjoy your Capitol perks while you can. The voters who elected you want to see judicial nominees receive their proper simple majority votes. If they don’t receive their fair votes, come 2006 and 2008, the party is over.
And I do mean the Republican party.
