Constitution??? Nah...we got ourselves RULES!
A bad back and misreading the schedule and I'm home on Sunday morning and able to watch Fox News Sunday. Sen. Cornyn(R-Tex) and one of the Gang of Four Sen. Chucky Cheese Schumer.
I'm listening to the two of them debate and they're just getting to the point where they're talking about the Constitutional option (badly misnamed by Sen. Lott as nuclear option). And what I'm hearing from Schumer (and his fellow Gang of Four) that changing the rules of the Senate is equivalent to making the Senate a "Banana Republic". In other words, rules trump the Constitution. Interesting. But not surprising coming from them. Schumer is blathering on about how the Senate is the "cooling saucer" of the government (said this 4 x's now). Schumer fumes that he and his ilk are preserving the Constitution, the spirit of the Founding Fathers, blah, blah, blah...Yah, right. And the Brady Bill protects the 2nd Amendment and of course is allowed under the 10th Amendment. As is the honey subsidy, mohair subsidy, WIC, Social Security, corporate welfare, ANY welfare...all allowed under the Constitution. I just can't find that allowance in my copy. Sorry. I'm currently looking for a Congressional and Federal judiciary copy of the Constitution
The very first thing that ALL Senators do is break their oaths of office.
Clowns in suits and pantsuits.
A caller on the Hugh Hewitt Show on AM1280 The Patriot suggested that 51 Senators send individual letters with notarized signatures to the President of the Senate (Dick Cheney) consenting to the nomination of Bush's judges. Hmmm...
Oh, and quick add on: the question was raised if the lefties would shut down the government over the consideration of a Senate rule change. Did you people know that when the Republicans were accused of shutting down the government in the '90's that it wasn't the Republicans? Did you know that there was a fully approved budget in front of President Clinton at the time? That it had increases across the board? Clinton refused to sign a fully approved budget because he wanted higher spending increases. So, who shut down the government?
