End Judicial Nomination Filibusters

Senator Orin Hatch took to the Senate floor to seek an end of filibusters of Judicial nominations. In his remarks, Hatch took both Robert (KKK) Byrd and Teddy (The Swimmer) Kennedy to task for their comments. Hatch said: "The Senator from West Virginia has long been this chamber’s leading expert on our history and procedure. For this reason, I was disappointed that he would fail to make such an important distinction between legislative and judicial nomination filibusters, a distinction based on both historical fact and constitutional principle."

It has been my opinion that using the filibuster is not what the Framers had in mind for the Senate's Advise and Consent role. - Sailor
