As vigorously (and correctly) as the Senate is attempting to establish ethics rules for SCOTUS, they need to take a cold, hard look at their own procedural Rules. 

Senate Rules are not delineated in the Constitution nor on stone tablets, yet these Rules continue to disrupt legislation and service to the American people.  

Consider where we might be without the filibuster (a Rule). 

Consider the very real harm to our military personnel and to our national security one (football coach) Senator is doing with his stubborn blocking action — which is based on his PERSONAL RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS (and the US is not a theocracy). 

The American people suffer the consequences of these RULES. 
The American people are not served by this elite body of legislators. 

It’s time for change.
