Remember when Democrats broke tradition and used the filibuster to block President Bush’s judicial nominees? Well, Republicans certainly do. Power Line Blog has a post on the current status of President Obama’s nominees. The republicans are using the precedent set by senate democrats and will block several of them from ever getting a vote.
Personally, I would hope that republicans vow to only support strict constuctionalists and block all the rest. Republicans could even begin the process of removing from office those justices and judges who have a hard time understanding natural rights and the constitution.
If there is ever a political fight worth having, it is over who should judge over the American people. If every ideology and political philosophy matters, it matters when deciding cases that aren’t clear cut.
