I Am Starting To Like My Senator Part 4
Jon Cornyn seems to write a lot of articles for a senator. Earlier this week a wrote another article for National Review about judge confirmations. He writes:
The Senate judicial confirmation process has been at times emotional and politically divisive, and that is unfortunate. But all Americans of good faith should at least agree that we need a fair process for selecting judges — with full investigation, full questioning, full debate, and then an up-or-down vote. And all Americans should agree that, although nobody likes to lose, the rules should always be the same, regardless of whether the president is Republican or Democrat. Throughout our nation's more than 200-year history, the constitutional rule and Senate tradition for confirming judges has been majority vote. senators should uphold and restore that tradition — and giving Owen an up-or-down vote, after four years of delay, would be an excellent start.
