February 25th, 2005 Vox Blogoli: McClellan or Grant - The Q: Does the Senate GOP go McClellan or Grant if Harry Reid "Goes Gingrich"? Grant was once accused of drinking too much. Lincoln commented "you just find out, to oblige me, what brand of whiskey Grant drinks, because I want to send a barrel of it to each one of my generals." I want to send a 750 of Jack Daniels to Senators McCain & Kyl. If Harry Reid wants to bring Senate business to a halt then the Senate needs to bring out the big guns and nuke this tyranny. TYR'ANNY, noun - 1. Arbitrary or despotic exercise of power; the exercise of power over subjects and others with a rigor not authorized by law or justice, or not requisite for the purposes of government. Hence tyranny is often synonymous with cruelty and oppression. Put in practical and modern terms, Tyranny is rule by the minority while Democracy is rule by the majority. It is truly ironic that the Democrat party, bearing the name of majority rule, wants to abide by minority rule when they aren't in power. Democrats are purely and simply throwing a temper tantrum. They obviously learned nothing from the last election, where senators who obstructed Constitutional rule lost by large margins. If they want to obstruct again, the Republican base will, hopefully, rise up and support changing the rules. Its not unprecedented. The Democrats, in their majority days, changed rules all the time. Some argue that changing the rules will bite us in the backside if we become the minority again. Irrelevant - if we aren't in the majority we wouldn't have moral standing to use the rules to obstruct a majority from implementing their view. You obstruct by winning votes. The obstruction of justice is a crime. When senators prevent courts from ruling (by preventing judges from occupying the bench) it is not right. Allowing majorities to end debate, with the purpose of bringing justice to courts that have had it long delayed, is not wrong and should be brought about immediately. Nuke, if you need to. Perhaps after the judges move out of committee certain senators will come to their senses and change their vote. |
