Behind the Eight-Ball

Senator Reid, who perhaps needs to be reminded he is the Minority Leader, felt he should offer a compromise to the Republican majority with regard to the Democrat's present stance on Judicial Nominees. The nature of the compromise? Why, if Republicans will cater to the demands of the minority, then the minority will proceed to continue the delay of confirming Judicial nominees. Win/Win, right?

This is getting ridiculous. I think the filibuster should be retained if possible--but what is currently happening is the stage is being set for it to be removed altogether--because its abuse is translating into the dereliction of the government's responsibilities. The Republicans need to make it clear that the majority in our government governs--and the way that the minority is behaving presently may result in serious consequences. But the majority cannot behave as if they are behind the eight ball forever. Warning to Senator Reid--you're cutting ties with your only weapons. You're reasonable options are anything but--and you'll lose more power by trying to close down the government you don't control then you did even when you lost control in 1994.

I continue to watch the demise of the Deomcratic Party with satisfaction--but I am wary. In the vacuum that will be left when the present blowhards of the Left are gone, who will fill the space? The Moore party? The Dean party? The Atheistic Relativism Party?
