The confused little senator from Kansas
It appears that Sam Brownback (R-KS) isn't thinking very clearly. He thinks Democrats shouldn't be able to use the filibuster to block judicial nominees, but the wingnut section of the Senate should be able to use the filibuster to block the easing of restrictions on stem cell research.
The confused little senator on judicial filibusters:
Brownback pointed out that "we've been hung up now four years" on several of the nominees.
"There's no sign of it ending," Brownback said. "We're kind of at the end of the string. I don't know what else we can do" other than change the rules.
The confused little senator on stem cell research:
"We're going to do everything we can to stop it," said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. He vowed to mount a filibuster, which allows a minority of senators to block a vote on the measure.
Isn't that precious? Kind of reminds me of a pre-schooler who won't let the other kids play with the fire truck, even though he's been playing with the race car for over an hour and hasn't touched the fire truck since yesterday. Mine!
