Senate Majority Rigs the System to Advance Extreme Judicial Nominee
"Advancing Eric Miller's nomination is yet another example of Senate Republicans' agenda to pack the federal courts with right-wing ideologues. This radical agenda is only made possible by their further rigging the system to eliminate the Senate's institutional role in serving as an independent check. If confirmed, Miller would be the first judge placed on the federal bench over the objection of both home state senators. This alone should give all senators a strong, institutional reason for opposing his confirmation.


I know nothing about him, but having someone that pisses off the left on the 9th Circus can only be a good thing...

Rigged system and government, aren’t they interchangeable?

Wasn't there a quote from Obama to the effect that elections have consequences?

The Liberals are really bad losers. Very childlike.
