Senate removes Louisiana judge

The historic vote marks only the eighth time in history that a federal judge has been removed from office by the Senate.

Finally, the Senate does one thing that's actually Constitutional.

And though the senators sat in the chamber for the required quorum, they were not necessarily engaged. Senators tapped away on their BlackBerrys under their desks and sifted through manila folders stuffed with papers.

But of course they still have problems doing even something simple like paying attention. I guess they had already made up their minds or planned to just vote along the same lines as everyone else.

As compared to the absurdity of wanting a 21st Century military paid for by 18th Century economic structures?

You can compare it to anything you want, although it's likely to be a useless comparison.

Ain't no useless comparison given the Tea Party's made it clear they want the repeal of every social legislation passed since the most enlightened year of 1913.

Yes, I know that's what you believe, regardless of reality.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

Hey now, it wasn't my imagination that people were calling for repeal of things like the income tax and direct election of Senators while recognized as Tea Party candidates. So unprincipled.

Neither of those are "every social legislation since 1913".
