Barbara Boxer: Intellectual Powerhouse
Power Line points out these words of wisdom spoken by Senator Boxer.
First of all, I stand in awe the sheer eloquence of this statement. After all, this "super important" position surely does require a "super" vote, as this "super" dumb Senator correctly points out. After all, it's right there in the Constitution.
Wait a second. Holy crap, there's no such requirement in the Constitution? You mean judicial confirmation votes don't require anything more than a bare majority? But surely the esteemed Senator from California knows what she's talking about.
And what the hell does their pay package and retirement benefits have do with anything? What planet is this woman from?
"They don't stand for election like we do, which is scary".
No, the only scary thing is that a majority of the voters in her home state went to the polls and cast their ballot for this dimbulb. The only possible explanation for continuing to allow her to speak is that she makes Hillary look sane by comparison.
But I have to give Boxer her due. At least she has the courage to openly state the Democratic party's plan to completely obliterate the plain meaning of the US Constitution. Congratulations to her for being the only person in her party willing to speak the truth.
Why would we give lifetime appointments to people who earn up to $200,000 a year, with absolutely a great retirement system, and all the things all Americans wish for, with absolutely no check and balance except that one confirmation vote. So we're saying we think you ought to get nine votes over the 51 required. That isn't too much to ask for such a super important position. There ought to be a super vote. Don't you think so? It's the only check and balance on these people. They're in for life. They don't stand for election like we do, which is scary.And to think this woman stands in the upper house of the federal legislature, the supposed quasi-aristocracy.
