Ed Koch on Filibusters

By AndrewHyman Posted in Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Ed Koch, the Democratic former mayor of NYC, comments in the Jewish World Review about the filibuster situation:

Senators have an important role under the Constitution's mandate to vote on the judicial nominee and provide their advice and consent to the President. The Constitution does not give them the right to frustrate the President by preventing a vote.

Meanwhile, there is a humorous movement afoot to get J. Lo and Oprah onto the high court --- no word yet about whether Ed Koch or the filibusterers approve.
