Why the Filibuster is Important

Great post today on RedState - http://bit.ly/bRKofH

The Senate is designed to ensure that no great and complex changes can come to the law, but by operation of the great majority of the people in the several states. The Framers designed it that way. We should be rightly suspicious of those who always want to change the rules when they cannot get their way.

Quoting James Madison in Federalist Paper #62:

It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow.
Sound familiar??

The Democrats have no scruples. They don't care about The Constitution or the rule of law. They are only interested in power. The Republicans are a bunch of wimps who are afraid to step too far outside of the message from The Left for fear of getting The Palin Treatment from the lamestream media. Grow a pair!

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The Founding Fathers were geniuses. We just need to yield to their wisdom and stop thinking we are smarter, more sophisticated, more evolved, less bigoted and whatever other derogatory connotation that people on The Left want to label them with.
