In a floor speech on Wednesday, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
ripped Republicans for filibustering judicial nominees, because they are
so beholden to special interests:
"Powerful interests don't give up. They
shift their fight to the courts because they know that if they can
weaken or overturn a law in court they turn defeat into victory. And if
they can rig the courts by putting enough sympathetic judges in lifetime
positions a friendly judicial system will give them a chance to
undermine any law they don't like."
And, they are also still so extremely bitter that Obama got reelected
that they are doing anything in their power to deny him of exercising
what the people wanted when they voted Obama in:
"We need to call out these filibusters
for what they are: naked attempts to nullify the results of the last
presidential election. To force us to govern as though President Obama
hadn’t won the 2012 election. Well, President Obama did win the 2012
election by five million votes, and he has done what the Constitution
requires him to do."
