"Sen. Joe Biden said Sunday that if President Bush nominates recently confirmed Circuit Court Judge Janice Rogers Brown to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats will launch a filibuster.
"If [Bush] sent up Edith Jones, I could assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight - and she would probably be filibustered," Biden told CBS's "Face the Nation."
In the next breath Biden corrected himself, saying: "I misspoke, I misspoke. Janice Rogers Brown is what I meant to say."
Asked whether that would break the Senate's much-heralded compromise last month not to filibuster judicial appointments except under "extraordinary circumstances," Biden explained:
"[The Supreme Court] is a totally different ball game. ... A circuit court judge is bound by stare decisis. They don't get to make new law. They have to abide by [legal precedent]."
Asked if O'Connor's retirement was more likely to provoke a filibuster than would have been the case had the more conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist retired, Biden responded, "Probably." |

I am confused now, what part of the Constitution allows the Supreme Court to make new laws? I was taught (way back when) that making laws qas the responsibility of the Congress. So did Mr. Biden miss that class?

Good catch my fellow Air Man. I was a USAFE4 myself.
Oh yes Mr. Biden he was not the brightest bulb in his class even though he lied on his resume to make us all think he was the head of his class.
We gotcha, Mr. Biden you just reviled to us that liberals do use the courts to make new law not to interpret the constitution. Do you think MSM will give this Biden revelation any play?

Send in the Clowns ohhhh Send in the Clowns. That is the way the liberals think so why shouldn't Biden spew it out. If there is a law they don't like let the courts re-legislate until they get their way.
Biden actually wants to be President. What a Clown.

You don't really think that is a hearing aid stuck in his ear do you?
