Bad Week For Republicans.
The news was just full of interesting tidbits over the course of the past few days. Unfortunately it was news was not so good for the Republican Party.
The Grand Ole Party (GOP) was dealt a devastating blow when Senator Arlen Specter elected to turn coats and affiliate with the Democrats. In doing so, he removed the GOP's sole hope for a filibuster thereby virtually rendering the senate republicans impotent. Indeed, there is not be much that senate Republicans can do to prevent the passage of Democratic legislation for the next seven quarters.
Not to worry. After all, the GOP still maintains majority control of the Supreme Court, right? Well, that was then, and this is now.
Justice David Souter, who was appointed to the bench by George H. W. Bush, decided to retire. Funny, I used to think that the Supreme Court Justices held the post until they died. Silly little rumor mill.
The departure of David Souter gives President Obama the ability to appoint a justice to the nation's highest court. Talk about a massive power shift. President Obama's appointment will create a balance of sorts within the Supreme Court eliminate the conservative power base which removed the voices of the family of Terri Schivo.
So where do we stand America? How about on the brink of some major events of historical proportions? President Obama now has at least until the next mid-term elections to move as much of his agenda as possible. It will be interesting to see just how many of those campaign promises become reality.
This is a critical point in the history of our great nation. The once vocal majority of the GOP is quickly becoming a silent minority. Save for the mouths of people like Limbaugh, O'Riley and Hanity, the GOP does not have any real political weapon that would have the remotest of a possibility of derailing the DNC's train. The ball is now in the court of the Democratic Party. Let's see if they go for 3 or simply settle for 2.
