Eagle Forum opposes this bill because, in actuality, it runs counter to the Constitutional principles underlying our patent system — namely, a strong, private property right in one’s inventions.

Senator Harry Reid, in a highly controversial move, detonated the “nuclear option” — a rules change that now requires a simple majority of 51 rather than 60 votes to confirm executive judicial nominations.

The facts are simple. President Obama and his Democratic Senate absolutely refuse to compromise with House Republicans. They are so unwilling to compromise or even work with Republicans that they shut down the federal government and have now resorted to fear-mongering and hyping this government slow-down into more than it is.

The most successful election that the Republicans have experienced in the past decade was in 2010 when grassroots activists like you rose up in opposition to the tyranny you were seeing from the Obama Administration.
