Pic Of The Moment: Supreme Hypocrisy

[droidamus2]

10. More than one problem

Not only is the obvious obstructionism a problem but there is also the underlying philosophy that is wrong. When the Republicans/Conservatives talk about 'balance' on the Supreme Court what they really mean is at least a 5 conservative justice to 4 liberal judges (yes I know that there is something called a moderate but the nominees never seem to fall into that category). I know it has to do with their desire to hold control over all aspects of the government but where does it say the one segment of our citizenry should hold sway over our laws in perpetuity. I have always felt that the balance of the court is a roll of the dice based on when justices retire or die. If the Democrats hold the presidency they get to nominate and if the Republicans hold the presidency it is their chance. Only in cases where a nominee is way beyond the norm either to the left or right should that nominee not be confirmed and that is only after a thorough and fair review of their qualifications.
