McCain and the gang of 14

While I was working today, it occurred to me, McCain and the gang of 14 were responsible for defeating the "nuclear option" in the Senate a little while back. The nuclear option would have prevented Senators from filibustering all the judges nominated by President Bush.

If McCain gets elected, he won't be able to fill judicial vacancies due to his own idiotic "reach across the aisle." Now THAT'S ironing.

Alexander Hamilton foresaw this:
Excerpt from Federalist #75

It has been shown, under the second head of our inquiries, that all provisions which require more than the majority of any body to its resolutions, have a direct tendency to embarrass the operations of the government, and an indirect one to subject the sense of the majority to that of the minority.

And also this:

Excerpt from Federalist #26

IT WAS a thing hardly to be expected that in a popular revolution the minds of men should stop at that happy mean which marks the salutary boundary between POWER and PRIVILEGE, and combines the energy of government with the security of private rights. A failure in this delicate and important point is the great source of the inconveniences we experience, and if we are not cautious to avoid a repetition of the error, in our future attempts to rectify and ameliorate our system, we may travel from one chimerical project to another; we may try change after change; but we shall never be likely to make any material change for the better.

Got me, liberals? And look up "chimerical" on your own, dumbasses. (lol)
