The answer is to look no further than the electorate that voted him into office. I am certain that not all of the people in his home state are as lunatic as he. Those that aren't, are simply in the minority. How does an individual such as Inhofe, get elected to office in the first place?

Why do you think religion was invented? To keep the little people in line: "Religion is the opiate of the masses". My philosophy is live and let live. Your right to proseletize about your religion stops at the end of my nose. You go your way and I'll go mine. There, is that enough cliches for you? Get the picture? Stop inserting religion into everything the government of the United States does. They should be here to govern, not convert.

I am sure there are several dirty Republican judges that can be busted. "Corrupt Republican" is almost a redundancy. Another option is that if these Republican Senators continue this behavior, we can follow McCain's concept of getting rid of earmarks, we can start with Inhofe's pork in Oklahoma. There must some consequences to this kind of bad behavior. For every time a Republican blocks a judge appointment there should be a impeachment investigation against a Republican appointed judge.
