"I think it's going to be much more difficult for them to do than I had thought the day after the election," Mr. Tancredo said.
Most likely, he said, Democrats will succeed at undoing plans to build 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"The thing that's in the greatest jeopardy right now is the fence, because they do have the appropriations process and that's probably the one they can stop," Mr. Tancredo said.

This sounds realistic to me. But the government cannot stop individuals from building fences on their land on the border; so the solution is a truly American one. Bypass the government, and let ordinary Americans do what has to be done. Only in America could such a thing be conceived of. That's why I like America.

“Despite the support of a strong bipartisan majority of senators, Ambassador Bolton’s confirmation was blocked by a Democratic filibuster, and this is a clear example of the breakdown in the Senate confirmation process,” she said. “Nominees deserve the opportunity for a clean up or down vote. Ambassador Bolton was never given that opportunity.” OK. So if they can reject by filibustering, they still can't force who they want onto the agenda. They can either accept that they can prevent there being an ambassador to the UN, or accept one the president suggests. If reasonableness is lost, the system logjams. And if one side loses reasonableness, that doesn't mean that the other side should simply kowtow

Sucking ripe ass, these times are...

[mightyrighty]

You betcha.

Is there anyone we can find who would say and do the same things Bolton would say and do but could make it through the Senate Confirmation process?

[mightyrighty]

Unlikely. Our politicians are pansies.

I mean someone who is like Bolton but a bit more stealth about it. I guess kinda like the John Roberts version of an Ambassador to the UN.
