It's a Bad Deal

By now we have all heard about the "deal" between a group of RINO Republicans and the Democrats regarding the nomination of judges.

This is a bad deal all around. While it is true we are going to get a few nominees through for the time being, who should have had an up or down vote all along anyway, it sets a bad precedent.

First it demonstrates that if the Angry Left and the Democrats whine long enough and loudly enough, Republicans will cave on their principles. And the principle here is that the Constitution has now been changed to allow a supermajority on judges to the Appellate and Supreme court levels whenever the Democrats don't like the nominee. With this deal the Republicans have allowed the Democrats to change the constitutional requirements for appointees to the higher level courts.

It also demonstrates that the Republican leadership is weak because it cannot hold its members in line to vote, even when they have an overwhelming majority and the backing of the party base. The Republicans have majorities in both houses, yet cannot get nominees of the President through. This is an admission of a deep weakness.

It will embolden the Democrats and The Elite Media Monoculture in the coming debate over the next Supreme Court nominee, probably this summer or fall. The Democrats will have no incentive whatsoever to be reasonable because now they know the Republicans will bend over and take what they are given. The Democrats now have an unearned veto over any nominee that they don't like. That's what that "extraordinary" terminology means.

And finally it is demoralizing to the Republican base that once again sees that no matter how many elections we win, the leadership fumbles when it really counts.

The solution to this is to stop giving money and support to the RNC and any RINO Republicans and to let them know exactly why. None of my money will go to these people until such time as they can find their spines and learn how to use them to defend the Constitution, which is what they pledged when they took office.

You can bet that none of my money will go to support a party leadership which demonstrates this kind of weakness in the face of Democrats who are destroying the Constitution. I will support individual Republicans who show some spine and stand up for Republican principles and the Constitution. But not one penny for a Republican leadership that says "How high?" when Democrats say "Jump."
