Gimme my filibuster back!

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Remember how the Senate Republicans talked about doing away with the filibuster? Well, disingenuous hypocrites that they are, it looks like they may want to use it now that they’re back in the minority.

According to Crooks and Liars, which has the video, Sen. James Inhofe has “threatened to filibuster any legislation on Climate Change”.

As I wrote earlier today, Inhofe is an exceedingly dangerous idiot, much more even that I had previously thought. And now we have yet more evidence that he wants to take us all down with him.

UPDATE: McConnell likes the filibuster, too — for judicial nominations, no less.

  • Actually, you almost have to suspect this guy of being on the Dems' payroll. Can you imagine if he actually tries to do that? What could make the Republicans look worse than a filibuster by someone who doesn't believe global warming exists? Uh, well, other than a president as insular, incompetent and ideologically rigid as W?
