Filibusters, Supermajorities and the Constitution

[Eddie Teach]

As a general rule, I like filibusters. Gridlock is good.

How odd the NYT didn't publish this article when the Democrats were in the minority and filibustered a billion judicial nominees.

First of all, it is an op-ed by an outsider, not an article.
Second of all, judicial nominations are unique; it is a separate branch of government, and the appointments are lifetime and irrevocable.

I think Minsky is trying to filibuster this thread....

Sorta like how that now the Democrats are in power the Republicans are suddenly interested in limited government and preservation of State powers.
