I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Can they do that?

Josh Marshall tells us that The Senate Majority Leader, Mullah Frist, with 51 votes can do about anything he wants.
The simple fact is that there is no outside authority that does or can pass judgment on how 51 senators choose to interpret the rules or how Dick Cheney chooses to interpret the constitution. So, I stick to my assertion that so long as they are not bound by a good faith interpretation of the rules or the constitution, 51 senators and/or a vice president of their own party, pretty much can do anything they want. When you push past the soft tissue of law, almost anything becomes possible.
After a brief attack of optimism I find myself returning to the ranks of those who think Democracy may be finished for good in this United States; or at least for a long while. The christo-fascists will get their judges and that will be the end of that. I hope all you morons that voted for Bush and the Republicans in November like the theocracy you put in place.
