State Senator Eleanor Sobel

2600 Hollywood Blvd.

Hollywood, FL 33020

RE: The horror, the horror of the Senate and Judge Garland as bloviated by you in this morning’s mini Op-Ed section of the unlinkable Sun Sentinel.

Senator Sobel,

It is indeed passing strange that knee-jerk, card carrying modern American Liberals, churlish dolts and poltroons such as you, wave the Constitution about in a most promiscuous manner as if no has ever read it.

The Constitution, the one passed in 1787, says that the Senate shall give “advice and consent” to judicial nominations. It also says that “Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings….” [Article 1, Section 5, Part 2] Thus, when Senator Reid [D-NE] never brought up the minority request for a vote on the budget he and it were well within their rights. I can find no evidence of your caterwauling like the crazed modern American Liberal banshee that you most assuredly are.

You say, in a smarmy “Gotcha” moment, that the Senate “overwhelmingly approved Garland’s most recent nomination to the Federal bench”. Ellie! Sweetheart! You haven’t done your homework. If precedent of previous confirmation is the main criterion then Judge Bork would have become Justice Bork, he having been approved unanimously for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. I loooove to tell modern American Liberals, particularly those who suffer from extreme “non-malodorous fecal matter syndrome”, scroyles such as you, that had that happened Vice President Alpha Gump would have been sworn in as President in 2001. Honest. Look it up.

On a different note…President Obama wants to shut down Gitmo, America’s most successful adult sleep-away camp, because it is a recruiting tool for ISIS, ISIL, or that old favorite, al Qaeda. If that is the case what the motivating factor was for those 19 Islamic terrorists, feral WOGs all, to hijack 3 planes and blowup the WTC and the Pentagon, there being no Gitmo for them to resent to the point of violence? Get back to me before this year’s “Summer of Recovery” settles in.
