In the ENTIRE history of the United States, there have been 168 Filibusters of Presidential Judicial nominees. 82 during the administration of Barack Obama.

It's a risk. But it is worth doing in order to stop the obstructionism that has been the habit of the opposition since the election of Barack Obama. To put it in layman's terms, think of the movie Hoosiers. The new coach, Norman Dale is not popular in the town of Hickory and this catches the attention of Opal Fleener, the mother of Myra, who is Dale's colleague. Opal tells Dale, (as somebody must have told Barack Obama at some point) "the sun don't shine on a dog's ass every day. But Mister, you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here." This vote is a giant laxative for a very constipated group of people, preening about in a prearranged strategy of opposition to a twice elected President. Democracy at it's finest? We'll see.
The Italians say it very nicely. BASTA.
So in tribute to the fictitious Opal, my whistlehum for the day comes from my guy, Taj Mahal who sang it- You ain't no street walker, mama, but I love the way you strut your stuff.
