Robertson says Republicans "ought to filibuster every single one" of Obama's judicial nominees

Another great Republican leader?

It's really too bad when the elderly...

don't have the slightest idea what they're talking about.  There's really no sense in mocking him.

Still, Media Matters is correct to highlight his wild--almost delusional--comments.

 

Good!  Please do!  Then, let's evoke the nuclear option.

And, Pat, we should listen to you why ?

If the Republicans filibuster Democratic judicial picks, they'll merely be doing what they always do -- it won't won't be "a dose of their own medicine" for Democrats.

The Republican party has habitually used filibusters and other obstructive tactics to prevent Democratic judicial nominees from getting confirmed. See here, here, here, and here.

So, is anyone deserves to exact payback, it's Democrats. Robertson, a typical lying, hypocritical Republican, gets it wrong. As usual.

Also, what these douches fail to remember is that Bush had the highest percentage of his judicial nominees confirmed. There were but a handful that were not confirmed, because they were so far right as to be out of the ballpark. In all of our history, Bush had more nominees confirmed than any other President, and yet, here we have republicans talking about filibustering nominees. Why? Because they're from a democrat. Ridiculous.

Not to mention that the republicans in the Senate have been filibustering almost everything put up by democrats since they took the Senate back in 2006. It's almost a matter of course now, that anything brought to the floor of the Senate needs a cloture vote to move along. Which means, republicans attach or act on a filibuster almost 100 percent of the time.

Thank you, Magnolia and 1st Republic.  Now I don't have to say it.

Personally, I think the filibuster is a joke and anticonstitutional.  It maintains the status quo.  Let's get rid of it.
