The pigs are wasting your money again. It’s really simple. If a representative doesn’t want something passed, he should try to change other representatives’ minds or find in the constitution why the change shouldn’t be made. Knowing they will lose on both fronts, the Democrats are blocking appointments using legislative procedure. This is equivalent to blocking the street by driving five miles an hour. Technically legal, but pretty shitty. Other people have places to go and things to do. The Republicans use to pull this shit all the time when they were the minority, so I’m not condemning the Democrats per se, but the entire sty that is our congress. The pigs should pay for the entire 38 ½ hours of security, electricity, and other costs out of their own cavernous pockets.
So Democrats, allow the vote to happen. Were the situation reversed, you would be the loudest, whiniest, “for the majority” freaks ever to hit the Senate. I don’t particularly care for a couple of the Republican nominations, but that’s beside the point. Vote them down. That’s how it works.
The Republicans are pigs. The Democrats are screwing the Republicans, so I guess that makes them pig fuckers. I’m voting Libertarian this year because I don’t have the answers...and neither do they.
right on brotha. fuckin' a.

By the way, I didn't mention it in that article, but she considers herself more of a Libertarian than a Republican. I agree with a lot of the Libertarian ideals, but I personally could not think of a more important place to have a libertarian than the supreme court.
