In the latest episode of the Blogovich scandal, Senate Democrats are talking about not allowing the man appointed by the Governor to be seated. This is not the first time that the Senate has taken such steps. During reconstruction, the power brokers in the Senate refused allowing the Senators from the Southern States to be seated. So they have set precedents for themselves. The Senate does not care who is the legitimate representative, they only select those whom they approve of. In the Constitution of the Founding Fathers, the governors and State legislators were the ones who appointed the Senators. The people did not elect the Senators when the nation was formed. It has only been since the government has CHANGED the Constitution on this matter in 1913 that problems erupted. The solution to the Blago mess is allow the State Legislature to decide on who to send like the Constitution originally said.
The Democrats did not care when the Clinton regime had peccadillo, but they sure raise cain with Blago. Could this be a double standard?
The answer is always less government and to follow the Constitution.
Free Texas!
