The World's Greatest Deliberative Body
By AndrewHyman Posted in Senate Rules — Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
The blog "Captain's Quarter's" has an interesting post regarding the effects on nominees of the increasingly bitter and lengthy confirmation process. That post concludes by suggesting (in jest) that the blogosphere may be eclipsing the Senate as the world's greatest deliberative body. But let's not start taxing people and declaring war just yet.
Seriously, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the filibustered nominees for their public service. Those who have been renominated should get medals for heroism, after they are confirmed.
