Relax, The Adults Are In Charge

Read the text of the speech given today by Senator John Kyl (R-AZ), as posted at ConfirmThem.com:

The reality is that the Senate is now engaged in an historic effort to protect constitutional prerogatives and the proper checks and balances between the branches of government. Republicans seek to right a wrong that has undermined 214 years of tradition – wise, carefully thought-out tradition. The fact that the Senate rules theoretically allowed the filibuster of judicial nominations but were never used to that end is an important indicator of what is right, and why the precedent of allowing up-or-down votes is so well established. It is that precedent that has been attacked and which we seek to restore.

Read the whole thing; it's worth it. Then compare his words with the illogical rantings of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

Just thank God that the adults are in charge...
