The Cloture Petition for William Myers
By AndrewHyman Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
The cloture petition for Priscilla Owen can be seen here. Similar petitions have now been filed for Janice Rogers Brown and William Pryor. Such a petition has not yet been filed for William Myers.
I would like to suggest that the petition for Myers be signed by a majority of the Senate, and that the petition mention that the signatories concur with the nomination. Then the President can fight it out in the courts, as to whether the petition constitutes advice and consent.
A similar idea was suggested here. I believe that this solution could help to restore the system that was designed by the Framers of the Constitution, and that existed for 214 years.
