Just a distraction from the ACA failure? That is what Rush is saying.

Just trying to make it easier to hire whacko judges. Roll with it, when the Republicans take over in 2014, we will fill the courts with libertarian, pro-2nd amendment judges that serve forever.

The Dems attempt to pass as much ludicrous legislation before they go down in flames in 2014.

So far it only applies to nominations so now Obama can replace all the current idiots like Sebilius and Holder more easily.
And load up the courts with a bunch of left wing law school graduates since they are lifetime appointments.

Any gun ban would be unlikely since new gun legislation would still need to get through the House.
Of course the Dems will try even harder to take the House back now.

Nope, they are lifetime appointments. But other vacancies do come up and if the republicans control the Senate and the White House, they will be able to get their nominations through without a fight. In the long run, both sides lose as this was a check to ensure the extreems are not put into lifetime positions.
