Fillibuster
Well, to my surprise and dismay, there will be no Fillibuster. eh, it would have been exciting, a new direction, a new adventure to a different territory. A sign of life from this long dead body of lesitlature, the senste of the united states of America.
Come to think of it, why do we have senators, and why do we allow them to play their games in the stage of our politics. God knows we have enough representatives in the House. You mean we need more representation. I really do not think so. we should have a reaserch in to this, How usefull the senate has been to the legistlative body, with all its committes and different branches. How well have they done by us, why should the legistlative body be so complex and convaluted. Well the answer probably is, TO PRESERVE THEMSELVES. The same way that Mullahs in our religion and country created a whole new religion for themselves so they can have a control over the masses and preserve themselves, the senators pretty much do the same, GRAB THE POWER and find ways to keep it.
And of course the Nuclear Option would have been a way to simplify the process. The president gets ellected and would have a mandate to nominates his own judges that would share the same political philosophy for the bench, and the senators get to vote up or down for it. No, that would have been too simple and maybe people would have found out how un usefull their senators are. So let's keep the nomenies in the committies and lets brand them as much as we can, and even after that, if it came to the floor of the senate, lets fillibuster them, and not allow the vote, since you would need sixty two votes to break the fillibuster which at this junstion borders on impossible.
Do you know, that republicans trough out the history of this land have never fillibuster a judicial nomine, they have made threats , but have never come to actually do that. So now we have an agreement that allows the senate and up and down vote for three of the judges, and then we will be back to aquare one. Democrats have been all ove the television celebrating a victory. But i don't think so, the only thing that this agreement has brought is to pass three more judges and then go back to negotiations, and stalling of the will of the people
