Judicial Nominees Need You

<snip>
At this time, any judicial nominee who is pro-life, pro-gun, against euthanasia and supports religious freedom can count on being filibustered by our Democratic Party. What an outrage!

I am a bit T'ed off about this. I know several of his 'facts' are wrong bit i felt I needed to run it by all of my wonderful DU sisters and brothers before replying to this guys lack of knowledge. First hasn’t judges ALWAYS been by super majorities and over the last hundred years the have came down from full senate to 75% to 66% then to the current 60% vote needed? And the 90’s Clinton had much larger numbers of judges not even make the floor for an up or down vote then the 10 that * hasn’t had a vote on. I know we are only keeping out the most extreme judges as the Senate has always done. And the filibuster has been used with the required super-Majority vote since the first congress.

Am I wrong about any of these? If so please tell me and let me know any other coments I could include in my reply LTTE.

Thanks all

1. What keeps bugging me about this up or down vote propaganda

is that if all nominees were to get an up or down vote then what do we need to have a judicial committee for?
This is total bull shit rhetoric that the Reich wing spin machine is selling the sheep.
