I think deep down the democrats are trying to mask their racism and disdain for the original intent for the Constitution.

TROLLS - See one? It's less than a hundred yard shot? Hear this music? Get a moderator and take the shot! Reading "This account has been banned or suspended" or "Nobody by that name." It really makes my day, when I sink a P.O.S.!!! Nothing better than fixxing an itchy trigger finger when you know....

>>> The truth is that during the Clinton administration, 60 judicial nominees were blocked by Republicans, using means including the filibuster. <<<

The truth is you have never told the truth in your life. You are a liberal, after all.

Using the number of nominees that Clinton pulled because of opposition by his own party, I see.

This must be what is called creative accounting.

well its the same accounting that the other idiot used last weekend when he said there were 211,000 American deaths in Vietnam....which would equate to about 14 million for World War 2 and about 10 million for World War 1.

Its LIBERAL accounting :)

I believe the issue is at what level the action is occurring. This letter picks a single Clinton nominee that was blocked at a certain level. I believe all ten of those blocked by the demos were blocked at or near this level.

The issue is also wether or not the nominees would be approved by the full senate. I am not sure about the nominee cited in the Clinton years, but these ten would all have been approved by the full sentate. In essence, the Demos, for political purposes, are blocking the ability for the Senate to fulfill its constitutional duty to advise and consent...keeping the other Senators from being able to consent.

But my guess is that the individual who wrote this letter understands this and is coloring the issue their way.

The Mods have been kind enough to not ban you.

How about responding to some of the replies?
