As your constituent, I urge you to oppose any attempt to change Senate rules to eliminate the filibuster.
The Senate has a unique and powerful "advise and consent" role on the President's nominees to lifetime positions on the federal bench. As a result, I am deeply concerned about any attempt that would threaten the Senate tradition of the filibuster, motivated by a desire to push through a handful of controversial judicial nominees.
I believe that the Senate should carefully evaluate judicial nominees and that the right of the filibuster is essential to ensuring a fair and independent judiciary that will protect Americans' constitutional rights.
Not only that, but a fundamentalist against personal choice doesn't reflect who I am or this country. The need to keep the "radical religionist" away from putting their laws on people in this country is important. We have no national religion and putting in the controversial judges will not help in keeping it that way.
We did, but at what cost ?
