My favorite part is the line about commitment to "equality, privacy, and fairness."

That of course is code for a commitment to judicially imposed gay marriage, judicially imposed abortion on demand, and judicially-sanctioned racial preferences; all things people of Reid's ilk desperately want as policy but are afraid to openly campaign on.

The part about diversity shouldn't even warrant a reply, but sadly its a sign of leftist success that 'diversity' has become the number one state god to be worshipped. Still, if Bush gets another nomination, then I hope he gives serious consideration to non-white males Edith Jones, Emilio Garza, Janice Rogers, or Priscilla Owen. Of course, none of these would contribute to diversity either since they don't share Reid's leftwing values, but it would make for good television to see a despicable creature like Ted Kennedy attacking someone like Brown who lifted herself out of poverty, or Garza, who would would be the first Hispanic on the High Court.

It's not a represenative branch. Diversity matters not. Knowledge of the law and the integrity to follow it is all that matters.

"The appointment of Judge Alito largely fails to diversify the court," Reid said.

What a doofus. There's nothing, anywhere, that says the court is supposed to be "diversified." It's supposed to interpret the Constitution, not be some sort of rainbow play group.

When did SCOTUS become a political diversity organization?

Sen. Reid: Alito Fails to Diversify Court
... one of the most conservative judges in the United States

How is it possible to put "one of the most any kind of judges in the United States" on the Supreme Court without "diversifying" it? Doesn't diversity mean "different"? An extremist is the best way to increase diversity!

So now, since we've heard that "diversity" is a requirement for the Supreme Court, the MSM will demand that this "law" needs to be followed or the nasty Republicans are trying to get away with skirting the law? I can see it now.

Why not ask Buzy to step down and we can select a diversity pick. Judge Brown is available.

If Reid says it then the Republicans will follow their dog to get the bone.

They (the Republicans) will be on their knees in front waiting for their piece of meat or party invitation. So we just lost another one. Because the Senate Republicans have decided to go over to the democrats and have NO Backbone and are cowards.

How many black guys did Kennedy, Roosevelt, Johnson, or Clinton put on the court?

"Diversity" doesn't matter in the representative branch either seeing as how those involved are elected by the people.

He cannot be serious! A good old fashioned conservative would diversify the court tremendously.

That's true. Afterall, there are only two Hispanic members of the Senate, whereas if that esteemed body 'looked like America', then there would be 14 or so. So Reid really should retire and find some non-white male Nevadan to run for his seat.

BTTT!

I swear, it took me a good three days to come down from my Alito high. :) I couldn't stop smiling.

It was an excellent appointment.
