In other words, the Senate is not supposed to bend over and approve each and every asshole Pretzelboy nominates for a judgeship.

It's called "balance of power". The GOP is just completely wrong on this.

1. Fascism doesn't need a constitution.

[Stirk]

2. They're Federalists. They're against *anything* that constrains

the power of the Executive Branch. Well- as long as it's a Republican Executive Branch, of course.

3. How Can They Be "Federalists"....

...and constantly bitching about "States' Rights"?

:shrug:

5. They Only Bitch About States Rights....

.....when they can squeeze votes out of that topic, at any other time
as far as they're concerned, "States Rights" are what they say they are.
