Constitutional Malarkey

Barbara Boxer made the mistake of showing liberalism’s true colors at a speech at MoveOn. The Constitution requires a simple majority of the Senate (i.e., 51 votes) to confirm judges. Boxer wants 60. If you can’t pervert the Constitution (i.e., Roe v. Wade, Separation of Church and State, the Pledge of Allegiance) then change it. This is what she said:

Why would we give lifetime appointments to people who earn up to $200,000 a year, with absolutely a great retirement system, and all the things all Americans wish for, with absolutely no check and balance except that one confirmation vote. So we're saying we think you ought to get nine votes over the 51 required. That isn't too much to ask for such a super important position. There ought to be a super vote. Don't you think so? It's the only check and balance on these people. They're in for life. They don't stand for election like we do, which is scary.

News Flash: There was an election - it took place in November. Conservatism won and liberalism lost. Americans voted a Republican President to nominate judges, and a Republican Senate to confirm them. Majority rules. If you want more power, then win more elections. That California saw it fit to elect her to the Senate does not mean the rest of the country should be forced fed her delusional ideology. Now that’s scary.

They lost the House, they lost the Senate, they lost the Presidency, they lost control of the media, they’re about to lose their stranglehold on the Federal Court System, and liberals are scared… and desperate
