Filibuster

[Cosmic Trigger]

An on point column by Ben Shapiro

Read it...I think I'll pass on being blown away by the "wisdom" of a frustrated 21 year old kid who's obviously never been laid. Did you see his little add for his book about how pornography is "destroying this country". I suppose porn in doing more damage to us than his hero G.W.'s enormous deficit.

What do porn or deficits have to do with judicial filibusters?...he makes a valid constitutional argument, despite his virginity.

My point is he represents everything that is wrong with the Republican party. He's obsessed with trivia like pornography and making sure that a handful of conservative judges go through unchallenged (despite the fact that the dems have already let like 98 or so get confirmed), when this is not what congress should be focused on.
I'm sure his next diatribe will revolve around calling the 50 house Republicans that showed some decency yesterday by voting in favor of expanded stem cell research traitors as well. Its a terrible thing when scientific research that could cure dozens of diseases is allowed to go unchecked by Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, you know.
And, please, a 21 year old virgin, doesn't have any business telling people anything.

Last time I checked, it was not illegal to do stem cell research, you just can't get federal funding for it. Which brings me to my next issue: Last time I checked, this is a pretty profitable business... why is it that my tax dollars need to subsidize research that is going to make no more than a handfull of people into Billionaires, and then have to pay them again when I need to use the product that my tax dollars helped them develop?

Other than that, I agree, Shapiro is a whacko.
