6. 95% confirmation rate doesn't cut it for this overgrown infant |

Bush is so childish and narcissistic that he feels entitled to his own way, even at the expense of the good of the country; so much so that for him, the ends justify the means, even if the means run afoul of the law.

5. funny how these supposed strict constructionists and federalists all of a |

sudden get brain farts on the (small d) democratic value emblazoned unto the Senate as the chamber that would always protect the rights of the minority opinion -- hence, the historical birth of the filibuster in the first place ...
