One thing I learned watching the confirmation hearings is that there are too many old white men in the Senate. There was a lot of blubbering and rhetorical speech exposing the fact that many of these men have spent their entire lives in the Senate or in Congress. Some of them have been there too long. I think we need younger fresher voices in the Senate and House. People like Arlen Specter who switched parties because he thought he would lose as a Republican, all the more reason to vote him out. These people who have made their career off being in the government while trashing the government or destroying the government so that it does not work efficiently and on behalf of the people. These are the people sitting on the committee and I think based on their actions in the past eight years they are a little cocky.
