Barbara Boxer's inane comments come almost daily. Radio Blogger posts an unusally big one today:

"Why would we give lifetime appointments to people who earn up to $200,000 a year, with absolutely a great retirement system, and all the things all Americans wish for, with absolutely no check and balance except that one confirmation vote. So we're saying we think you ought to get nine votes over the 51 required. That isn't too much to ask for such a super important position. There ought to be a super vote. Don't you think so? It's the only check and balance on these people. They're in for life. They don't stand for election like we do, which is scary."

Of course, that would require a Constitutional Amendment. No doubt the "nine votes" thought could change if a Constitutional Amendment isn't ratified before the 2006 elections. So why not just work the amendment wording so that is has a phrase like "whatever number the Demorats think are needed."

Also, I don't think BB has a clue what "check and balance" means. But as Radio Blogger notes, she is the dumbest member of the Senate. Go listen to the audio clip for a laugh -- how she expresses herself is hilarious, especially towards the end. (ht: Instapundit)
