AMERICA'S TRI-CAMERAL LEGISLATURE

I missed this. Neal Boortz reports Joe Biden was on Face The Nation and when the name of Janice Rogers Brown came up, Biden was asked how the Senate Democrats could invoke the "extraordinary circumstances" clause on Judge Brown right after they actually voted to confirm her to a seat on an appeals court. Biden responded by reminding the television audience that appeals court justices "don't get to make new law," meaning, of course, that Supreme Court Justices do!

Boortz goes on to write:

Once again our Constitution, along with the basic structure of our federal government, has been changed! Changed not by Constitutional amendment, but by the machinations of politics on the floor of the United States Senate.

Our Constitution envisioned and established a bi-cameral legislature. We originally had the U.S. Senate which was established to represent the interests of State Governments before the federal government. The House of Representatives was established to represent the interests of the citizens of the various states. The 17th Amendment change this structure with the popular election of Senators. Now both the Senate and the House represent the people, and the 50 states are left with no official representation in Washington. This might explain why the federal government has become so strong at the expense of the states.

May I now introduce you to the third branch of what has become our tri-cameral legislature! The Supreme Court! Yes, in the eyes of Democrats the Supreme Court is now merely another element of the legislative branch of the Imperial Federal Government of the United States. Senate Democrat Joseph Biden was on Face the Nation this past Sunday pontificating on Bush's possible choices to replace Justice O'Connor. The name of Janice Rogers Brown came up. Biden was asked how the Senate Democrats could invoke the "extraordinary circumstances" clause on Judge Brown right after they actually voted to confirm her to a seat on an appeals court. Biden responded by reminding the television audience that appeals court justices "don't get to make new law," meaning, of course, that Supreme Court Justices do!

So .. there you go. Janice Rogers Brown might not be a good nominee to the Supreme Court because the Supreme Court is a law-making body! Now we have three! The Senate, controlled by the Republicans. The House, again controlled by the Republicans. And now the Supreme Court, controlled by the left, if not by Democrats. This is the only legislative entity the left controls in Washington and that control must be maintained at all costs!

Now, thanks to Senator Biden, you know what's at risk here. Democratic control of the third house of the U.S. Congress."
