To heck with the constitution!

The WSJ says the Senate may force a floor vote on Bolton whether the committee recommends his nomination or not.

I found that through Talking Points Memo, where Josh Marshall also has this to say:

... the Republican party is becoming an anti-constitutional party. They're not comfortable with the rule of law -- inside the Capitol or out.

Sounds about right to me. Those people have gotten so carried away with their own paranoia and their own giddiness at actually being in power, I think, that they don't care what the public thinks, what the constitution says, anything. They're going to push their scary agenda as far as they possibly can.

Luckily, from the left's point of view this might be the best thing that could happen. If they'd reined things in a little they could have been in power for a long time. As it is, I think the American public is starting to sit up and notice what's going on, and (somewhat to my surprise) they don't like it.
