Apparently in your view the majority has no rights, only the minority. That is putting things upside down.

Mike, equating Barbara Boxer and Ramsay Clark with Brown and Owen is a ridiculous strawman. Brown and Owen are judges, with judicial records that don't reveal them to be extremists in any way, despite what the NYT Times editorial board thinks. They are both qualified. Boxer was never even an attorney, and I don't think Clark was ever a judge. "Let the minority keep abusing the filibuster just in case a totally unqualified candidate is nominated someday" doesn't fly with me.

ps. Yep, very dry down here too. I hate to have to water so much because our water pressure is lousy, but the new plantings need it.

Democrats ruled the house and Senate for almost 50 years and republicans didn't filibuster their judicial nominations, they took their lumps, obeyed the constitution and lived with majority rule. Dems are obviously incapable of understanding the meaning of the word no. That doesn't surprise...since their last leader didn't even know the meaning of the word is.
