Filibustering....

....bad for senators. If they'd just get their own blog, they could do it all day, but, we didn't ELECT them for that...we elected them to represent us in the capital, to elect the right people to the right federal jobs if the person is qualified. At least I THINK & HOPE that's what happens if a person is up for a position in the federal government, especially if it's for a judge's position! Why? Well, let's stop & think for a minute. Doesn't everybody in this country want to be able to depend on laws? And exactly who is the last person to decide if you're "guilty" or "not guilty"? That's right. Hopefully, most of us will never have a case that goes high enough to have to BE in a federal court, but if you've appealed as far as you can in local & state, you better hope there's a good judge at the federal appeals court. So the people we elect have the job of putting the best there...by voting on them! After all, that IS their job...but, by filibustering and leaving no time for a vote, they manage letting nobody vote! So, basically, what that says to me, is that the filibuster is a 'no' vote, but nobody had to actually come out and say it. That makes me wonder...'Why? Did everybody elect senators who have no balls? And if so, why? Does everybody even know who their state senators are?? or what they stand for? or if they'll stand for anything?" Anyway, this is gonna get ugly, and the senators that held up these votes for the last 4 years may end up paying...
BoUnCeS!! LibbY!
