You know, this fiasco is precisely why we need to end this business of filibustering every judicial nominee that President Bush puts forth to the Senate.
The story speaks pretty much for itself. I just can't believe that 5 "judges" can trounce all over the 5th Amendment, which reads as follows:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation [emphasis added].
Good thing there is still a 2nd Amendment...and I'm not joking.
