Why Liberals Nuked the Senate

Liberals used to love the filibuster when they were in the minority.  You should ask Judge Miguel Estrada about Liberal filibusters.  Oh sorry, the Democrats filibustered him so he isn't on the DC Court of Appeals.  This is all about Liberals having to stack the deck to win.  They see a wipe out coming in the next election.  The only way to mitigate or even prevent the rollback of the entitlement state is to have Liberal judges legislate from the bench in the DC Court of Appeals.  Elections have consequences only when Liberals win.  When they lose, they use judicial means to get their way.
