McCain Folds

Congressional Quarterly this week reported that Senator John McCain has decided to oppose what may be the only way that Republicans can ensure that the Senate can fulfill its Constitutional duty of giving advise and consent on judicial nominations. McCain has previously shown contempt for the Constitution with his campaign finance proposal. While DvK has suggested that this rules out his Presidential prospects, he fails to see McCain's true goal. McCain is apparently wants to be dictator.

This is an absolute disgrace, and it's high time that Bill Frist did something about it. In the last two election cycles, conservatives have elected Jim Talent, Tom Coburn, and Jim DeMint, among others, and we did not do so only to fail to fill the judiciary just because the Senate Majority Leader has not yet shown the cajones to do his job. Frist needs to step up to the plate with some corrective measures.

Unless Frist does something, we're now facing the possible failure of the Constitutional option. Call your Senators and tell them that they can either do their jobs or you'll find someone who will do their jobs for them!
