Weekend Open Thread

ADVERTISEMENTS

Ed Whelan recently spoke at Harvard about the judicial nomination and confirmation process, and you can click here for a news report about it. Following is a brief excerpt, but read the whole news report:

"McCain knows judges shouldn't be legislating," Whelan said. "He understands their proper role. Also, he's a fighter. If the Democrats filibuster, he will keep fighting and make the case for the nominee and inflict political pressure."

If Democrats do take the presidency in the upcoming election, Whelan said that Republicans will be faced with three options. "We can (1) roll over and play dead, (2) fight to the death and filibuster, or (3) make the case why the person is a good or bad nominee, and then vote up or down and move on," Whelan said. "I would advocate for choice three."

I would also advocate for choice three.
