End the Filibusters

Last I checked it was a simple majority to confirm judges in the Senate. Years ago, the Republicans were able to muster a majority to force 60 vote majorities to end debate on judicial nominee's. This was a tactic to prevent the likes of Ruth Bader Ginsberg from being confirmed. But alas, the Republicans were too dump to prevent an NOW and ACLU attorney from getting on the Supreme Court. Now we are paying for it with some of the recent decisions that defer to the World Court.

This has to end. We need more conservative judges throughout the country. We need to dilute the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals by spliting it in half. We need judicial reform and we can achieve it by removing the filibustor rules for the rest of President Bush's term. Wow, we could place as many as 3 supreme court justices and hundreds of federal judge posts that are vacant could be filled in quick fashion.

Then target:

Flag burners.
Christian haters.
ACLU.
NOW.
Environmental activism that prevents refineries from being built and raising our gas prices.
Tort reform - limit trash lawsuits and attorney fees as a result of the trash lawsuits.
No more rewards for peoples own stupidity (buring myself with a hot cup of coffee? GONE.)
Animal rights kooks.
Leftist judges (dilute their power).

I can't wait for this to happen.

But of course, I'd probably have to listen to the nonsense ramblings of the idiots that think ending the filibustor is going to far unless of course it allows the Ruth Bader Ginsbergs of the world to assert their judicial activism on the rest of us.
