It interferes with State's rights and grants far too much power to the federal government to usurp the will of the people. Terrible ruling.

Why because the Republicans wanted a chance to stack the courts you do forgive me when if I think that they are being hypocrits by caling for a straight up or down because since you have the majority that up or down is no more than a rubbber stamp. The Senate is there to advise and consent not give into the president's or the majorities every little whim. for those of you who say well I see Chris Point why not just vote? Let me show you all something. Senator Charles Schumer Barack Obama and others did a little researching on judicial conformation votes 2703 yeah 1 NAY All the republicans voted for even the most radical judges all of the time. Who was the only dissentor it was Trentt Lottt and who was the judge he was Judge Gregory nominated by Clinton to be the first black nominated to the court of appeals in his area. He was vehemently oppossed by Jesse Helms and Lott picked up the slack later. Yet this is the same party that wants to cram race down my throat whenever I don't approve of someone that has the same ethnic background as myself from holding some high profile position based on their ideology. The numbers speak for themselves people, up or down just means rubber stamp. We elected our Senators to advise and consent, the Senate by contrast to the House Of Representatives is a place for debate. Republicans don't want to debate these judicial nominees becuase then America would see just how extreme they are. Support the fillibuster and let our Senate do its' job. Chris,

People continue to ask why democrats are so afraid of the church, but an even more fair question is why are republicans so afraid of the courts?

If the Dems would actually let a vote take place we could end this issue. If they don't want these 2 women there is a perfectly easy way to get keep them out of office- get 51 votes against them and take the vote. If they had those votes, would we be here talking about this issue? The reason this has become an issue is not the candidates or the vote on them- rather the lack of a vote.

While I agree with alot of things he say's I think he has taken things too far. I would appreciate it Joe if you would lighten up and find better things to do. Thanks.

You would prefer that the majority of voters in the 1920's (who were men) should continue to be the only voters because you feel that the majority wanted women to stay out of the political process? Or, how about blacks. I bet you would have voted to keep blacks as second class citizens in the 60's cuz the majority wanted that to occur too. Just because you don't agree with a judges ruling doesn't mean they are activist judges: it means you are spoiled rotten brats. Sometimes following the constitution is painful for people who are seeking their own interests. Joe and Kyle:
