“Vote for Gridlock!”

Who would have thought they would access the same rule when they were out of power?!

I understand their first goal is to get re-elected, but DAMN can we get a dash of personal integrity here? I honestly don’t know how some people sleep at night knowing how full of shit they are. All the Ex-Lax in the world wouldn’t unclog some of these people.

there’s only one explanation for this: Radley has psychic powers!

True of lower-level appointees, though not many.

But Kyl was specifically referring to potential Obama Supreme Court nominations. Jog my memory–which of W.’s Supreme Court nominations did the Dems filibuster?

Don’t get me wrong, I wish they had. Both Alito and Roberts. But they didn’t.

Also, the point of the post is that Kyl specifically promised not to use the filibuster, even if a Democrat took over the White House. This, I guess, was evidence of his good faith, a sign that we should take his argument seriously.

What’s it say about his integrity that three years later, and less than a week after the election, he’d already personally promised to filibuster any ObamaS.C. nominee he doesn’t like?

And to answer your question, I don’t expect Republicans to play by any rules, or adhere to any principles. I expect them to be rudderless, spineless politicians whose main interest is getting reelected. I expect the same of the Democrats.

And I’m almost always right!

Democrats filibustered W’s judicial nominations. BO shouldn’t be surprised now if his picks are shown the same courtesy.

I give this one a 3, on your very arbitrary scale……
