Rule of Law!..... Rule of Law!...... Rule of Law!

[annabanana]

Sen Byrd clearly laid out in a speech (just now, C-Span 2) that shows how the "nuclear option" would

STEAMROLL OVER THE RULES OF THE SENATE

The rules have never been ignored in the way that they propose. (they have been changed and reinterpreted.. but never broken)

The Radical Right Wing of the Republican party is now officially the party of MOB RULE AND ANARCHY!!

(what aging hippy could have predicted THIS?)

1. it's a good thing banana republicans vote in lock-step.

if they couldn't control their own ranks, they'd be changing the rules to just allow the party leadership to confirm judges and to determine what does and doesn't become law.

and if that didn't fly, they'd just hand it all over to the president, provided, of course, that he's also a republican.

then they'd change the rules back as soon as it didn't suit them.

2. "Rule Of Law" Only Applies When Republicans Are Speaking About........

...Democrats And Liberals That They Can Not Control.

4. I just saw that

One of the too few substantive debates I have seen on the subject of filibusters. The video should be posted here when it becomes available from C-span.

5. Did you happen to catch

6. LOL, I know what you mean

If I go to one of the doc in a box places theses days the doctors are all starting to look like young pups to me.

Yes, I did catch what it was. It was "The Senate Rules & Debate on Judicial Nominations" program, and it did look like a lecture. At any rate is was very good and talked a lot about the procedural rules in the Senate as they relate to filibusters.

Hope that helps.

7. Ohhhh! Rule of Law! I see...the tide is turning

Didn't the Repubs keep insisting they were the law and order party back when they took control of Congress in 1994?

I see it now. It's swinging back the other way. The Democrats are now the law and order party.

8. YES!
