Be a pessimist - your whole life will consist of either being proven right or being pleasantly surprised.
(This is the same country that threatened to use that veto over the lifting of Libyan sanctions regarding the Lockerbie settlements, simply because France was willing to settle for a lesser amount several years ago, and the US and UK negotiators managed to get almost $3 billion in compensation. France required an additional settlement before allowing the settlement to proceed.)
I wish there was a way to take away France’s veto, because they are on that slippery slope into irrelevancy. Maybe when they have had another revolution, the US can refuse to recognize their claim to the UNSC veto seat, and veto any attempts to grant that claim to whatever new government takes over.
In other news, the minority party in the Senate has managed to succeed in its attempt at disrupting the judicial nomination process, despite the wishes of the majority at confirming a judge (described as “highly qualified” by the American Bar Association).
Turnabout is fair play. I hope that the next Democratic President (if that ever happens) doesn’t mind not getting anything done - judicial nominees, legislation, ambassadors, cabinet members, you name it. So long as the vote in support isn’t better than 59-41, it isn’t going to happen. I wonder if Schumer and Kennedy would support the rights of the minority under those circumstances? (Or would they whine about “obstruction by the vocal minority”?)
In yet other news, I wonder whether they would think it was okay if random individuals were to burn down the headquarters of the ALF? Or would they claim that their rights had been violated, and that crimes had been committed? If it’s fair for one, it’s fair for others.
I’m wondering how long the FBI is going to let these domestic terrorist groups to continue their vandalism, theft, and arson attacks?
