"Filibuster, filibuster, we call Judge Priscilla Owens right over."..."Sorry guys, it takes 60 votes to get us to send her right over." But wait a second, why does it take a super majority to get a judge into a position that she deserves, but only a simple majority to strike down amendments to state constitutions?
I have an idea. Conservative Supreme Court Judges should cry, "That's not fair. What about minority rights? This decision is only five to four in the majority favor. If we had a filibuster rule, we could protect the minority rights of this court."
So let's get congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment that all social issues must have a super majority of the court in their decisions. Say.....9-0? Remember, we must preserve the rights of that one offended person.
