What HOGWASH!!!!! Absolute BS!!!!




How can you say that? She writes:
He has appointed Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices and, in so doing, he has created a Supreme Court to be an arm of his government absent the usual and customary checks and balances.

That's not hogwash. 'Tis all too true. It is his responsibility and his duty to appoint to the Supreme Court people of his choice. That is what every President has ever done. George Washington appointed the very young John Jay. How old was he at the time? 29? George W. Bush, in difficult circumstances, when he was beseiged by his base for his choice of Harriet Miers, gave the Democrats the person for whom they'd voted unanimously for a position on an Appeals Court - John Roberts. Later, he appointed another similarly qualified judge who'd strived for the position his entire life, wrote in his High School yearbook that he was headed to the Supreme Court. This President chose these people. He wanted them, he excercised his privilege.

Hard to tell why Beth begrudges him his choice, and she certainly is free to lament it, but when she says, "He has appointed judges dependent on his will alone......" the right response is, "Yes, Ms. Quinn, he certainly has, exactly per the wishes of the founding fathers. God bless him."
