Pick a side, any side. No, you conveniently never mentioned Hillary. The first two had nannies, and had neglected to pay the nanny tax. Both of her first two choices were women. How is that for proof of sex based set-asides?

Please read the post before responding; you are embarrassing yourself. Especially the part about ADVISE and CONSENT duties of the Senate. Until Tom Daschle, no Presidential appointee that I am aware of has ever been filibustered in the Senate. This is a clear abridging of the Constitution. Maybe he found one of those famous neolib loopholes, and just has not told us what it is yet.

The constitution granted the right. We suspect it has to do with the need for a militia instead of a huge standing army. You cannot bait me with this subject.

A one-man majority... quite the mandate you've got there.

The filibustered appointees had votes for the approval from Democrats as well as Republicans. One vote majority is all that is called for in the Constitution. They had more than that.

Maybe you should have been born a couple hindered years earlier so you could have foreseen this and fixed it up front. Maybe you would have written a document that said, don't read this document, just do what feels good.
