Chafee will vote against Alito

PROVIDENCE -- U.S. Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee announced this morning that he will vote against the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court.

In a statement issued at a press conference this morning, the Rhode Island Republican said he was "greatly concerned" about some of Alito's philosophies.

Chafee described himself as a "pro-choice, pro-Bill of Rights" Republican, in explaining his decision against Alito.

-- Journal staff writer Jack Perry

The only vote the republicans can count on from Chaffee is the one that organizes the Senate.

"pro-choice, pro-Bill of Rights"





Which are two very different things.

Well, I hope the Rhode Island Republican Party knows what to do about it.

Never forget the treasonous bastards.

Lincoln Chafee is a tower of Jello.

He's a pro-Jello Republican. Of course, he does represent a bunch of socialists in Rhode Island where no tax is too big and no outrage is too small.

So, once again, let's just drop this grand charade - enabled by the leftist media - that there is no litmus test. As sure as the sun is shinning, there is, was, and always will be a litmus test for liberals like Chafee and the Democrats.

What an a$$hole. Can the Party kick someone out? I know the powers-that-be wouldn't do it...but could it be done?
