Byrd Compares GOP to Nazis
Senator and former Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), had this to say (speech text) on the floor of the house Tuesday.
We, unlike Nazi Germany or Mussolini’s Italy, have never stopped being a nation of laws, not of men,” Byrd said. “But witness how men with motives and a majority can manipulate law to cruel and unjust ends.”
Byrd then quoted historian Alan Bullock, saying Hitler “turned the law inside out and made illegality legal.”Byrd added, “That is what the nuclear option seeks to do.”
The nuclear option is the nickname for the proposal to end filibusters of judicial nominations because of the devastating effect the plan, if enacted, would have on relations between Democrats and Republicans.
