What to do with money and judicial nominations scuffle

Berkshire Hathaway Inc owner Warren Buffett doesn't quite know what to do with his 46.7 billion dollars, reported by Reuters today. Well I didn't know before that British based ScottishPower actually owned US based PacifiCorp. Now it seems the tables have turned, with the $ 5.1 G sac, PacifiCorp child MidAmerican Energy already owns CE Electric UK. It's a very strange concept to me for a billionaire from one country to be able to turn off another country's lights.

The Washington Post says that the US Senate 's committee of compromise has come to allow filibustering on some judicial nominees (William G. Myers III of Idaho and Henry Saad of Michigan ) , but not others (Owen, of Texas, Brown, of California, and Pryor, of Alabama).

Senate Majority Leader Frist from Tennessee has said that this is a mix of "some good news, and it has some disappointing news." No kidding. Some people are just never happy with the monopoly their political party has; they just have to prevent the other side from doing something about it as well.

The senate Minority Leader, Reid from Nevada, speaks of the vote to ban filibustering of judicial nominee selection, "Abuse of power will not be tolerated, and attempts to trample the Constitution and grab absolute control are over. We are a separate and equal branch of government. That is our Founding Fathers' vision, and one we hold dear." The point raised here is about the apparent take over of the government. The Bush Administration is attempting to gain complete control, using its majority in the Senate to pave over the minority, and at the same time trying to secure convenient appellate judicial positions. Granted, the GOP is acting naturally, spreading as far as possible until the other side says stop.
