Just one more moment of disappointment from those we work hard so had to elect (h/t Michelle Malkin on Twitter, Tuesday).
This is the Senate roll call vote on the radical judge Wright nomination. Note the bend-over Rs who voted yes. @CR pic.twitter.com/e2EpkK41Sm

First to note: Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio didn’t show up to vote (they’re too busy asking Americans for a promotion).
Second to note: Even though Senator Rand Paul is also running for president, he made time to show up and vote on the right side. (Nay)
Lastly note and ask yourselves why Joni Ernst, Kelly Ayotte, and Jeff Flake would vote yes for this radical judge while someone like McCain had the good sense to vote no.
The confirmed Minnesota judge is Wilhelmina Wright. Early in life the Obama nominee accused Ronald Reagan of "bigotry" in writing: (h/t The Free Beacon)
White people are running and hiding. Their mad scramble is aided by a Chief Justice who owned racially restrictive property and a Presidential administration that believes bigotry, poverty, and poor educational opportunities for most public school students are the unavoidable fruits of a ‘thriving’ free market economy.
Also, back in 1990, she wrote the following for the UCLA Law Review essentially associating property rights with skin color: (h/t Daniel Horowitz)
The failure of today’s racial discourse is its reliance on the notion that property is neutral, that the deed to a suburban home is ‘property’ while the opportunity to move out of a slum is not. The fungibility of property can be no better exemplified than it is by slavery. The fact that our Constitution once recognized one person’s very life and liberty as another’s property should teach us the danger of letting property determine liberty rather than looking to liberty to define property.
Now she’s going to sit on the courts for Lord knows how long because of folks we fought to elect who either didn’t bother showing up to vote or voted foolishly when put to the test.
While far too many conservative pundit types picked yesterday to practice the politics of emotion, I am glad Michelle Malkin was one of the few who kept her eye on the ball.
Read more on this judge at Heritage Action for America.
And Ayotte is going to blame a Trump nomination on her defeat
So why did your gal’s (Palin’s) endorsed Senators Ayotte & Ernst vote YAY?
YAWN...... 1,000
This is another example of why Trump is doing so well.
“Conservatives4Palin” - are any left?
A paired vote between McCain and Flake . They could just have well stayed in the saloon!

This is why we need to use the senate and house chambers for only ceremonial things like state of the union and security briefings. The senators and reps need to live in office IN THEIR STATES and NOT in DC.
Lobbying would be a LOT harder if the lobbyists had to TRAVEL to all 50 states....
When is Mark Kirk going to officially announce he is changing his party affiliation to Democrat? Hell, he votes in lockstep with them, anyway, so he may as well.
But, he knows this is his last term in the Senate, as he knows he has zero chance of being re-elected.
Blame it on McConnell. He voted yes along with twelve other republicans.
And they can’t figure out why the base is pissed off at them.
By his vote, Vitter of LA must be punishing conservatives who refused to vote for him for governor and chose an Obama-bot instead.
Jeff Flake is a Latter Day Goldwaterite. He votes as Goldwater spoke c. 1995.
Maybe a statue for us isn’t enough. Maybe a planet.
I see that Ernst is increasingly moving left: she may be a phony too, or is it too early to tell? It is IA.
Isn’t a non-vote the equivalent of a NO vote?
Ayotte gets worse & worse day by day.

They must be drinking all that damned government subsidized ethanol....
