« ONE YEAR AGO TODAY... | Main | Senate Votes to Close Off Debate on Alito 72-25 »
January 30, 2006
Bring On the Filibuster!
Senate Democrats are inching ever closer to following Sens. John Kerry and Ted Kennedy over a political cliff. The opportunistic Hillary Clinton has joined the effort along with a few others who have been swayed by the loud radical base of the party. They’ve decided that even though Alito has enough votes to be confirmed on the floor of the Senate, a little bit of pandering to their liberal special interest groups won’t hurt.
I say: “Bring it on!”
While it is thought that a vote against cloture can’t succeed, Hamas didn’t think it would win the Palestinian election, either. I’m rooting for a delay on Alito’s confirmation – and I don’t want Majority Leader Bill Frist to trigger the “constitutional option” – yet.
Picture this: Samuel Alito and his wife sitting in the gallery at Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. President Bush points to them and tells America that Democrats refused to allow an up-or-down vote when it is clear Alito has more than enough votes to become a Supreme Court Justice. Considering everything we’ve seen so far, who would win the PR battle on this one? Don’t forget – whenever Americans see Mrs. Alito they remember that mean ol’ Democrats made her cry.
The President can effectively undercut the Democrats’ rhetoric about “minority rights” when it comes to the use of the filibuster. The majority has rights, too. Americans understand that elections have consequences and that fairness demands that Alito deserves a vote. How many elections do Democrats have to lose before they comprehend something as simple as that?
After a spectacle such as that, invoking the “constitutional option” wouldn’t even be necessary. However, the damage Democrats would do to themselves would have a profound effect on the 2006 elections.
Again, I say: “Bring it on!”
