Limbaugh Has A Meltdown Over The "Nuclear Option"


On his November 21 show, Limbaugh inaccurately stated that President Obama could now increase the number of seats on the D.C. Circuit, and accused Democrats of seeking "total statist authoritarianism":

Obama's going to get every judge he wants. He's going to get -- if they want to add seats to a court -- if they want to add five new liberal seats to the D.C. Circuit, for example, they can do it, there's no stopping them, because the Republicans don't have the votes.

..........

Democrats abruptly changed the Senate's balance of power by reducing from 60 to 51 the number of votes needed to end procedural roadblocks known as filibusters against all presidential nominees. Folks, this is part and parcel of why the Democrats are so hell-bent on winning the House in 2014. This -- winning the House would give them total authoritarian non-challengeable control over the US government. Quite literally there would be no way to stop them. None whatsoever.

...............

When the minority is Republicans, they don't even exist. And they're not due any respect, constitutional or otherwise. Constitutional or human. And so basically what this means, with a president like Obama, is there's no stopping -- he can nominate anybody for anything in the judiciary ... cabinet, whatever. There's no way he can be stopped.

..............

Democrats have made it plain they're not interested in democracy. And that really is what this means. Not interested in democracy at all. Total statist authoritarianism. And frankly, I'm being kind with that terminology.

7. One of the things he said today was that the Pukes only blocked nominations of the unqualified.

Rush lied, of course. The senators in question admit that wasn't what has been going on. Even Rand Paul admitted his motive was to keep Obama from appointing ANYBODY to the DC Circuit seats because he didn't think the court was busy enough to warrant that many seats. Which was really based entirely on the fact that the Circuit is currently dominated by conservatives but won't be if all the seats are filled.

He's not qualified to determine judicial caseload anyway.
