Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | May 10, 2010 | Brian

Here is video of GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch telling Neil Cavuto that "you can be liberal and be a great Justice" - referring to the Supreme Court. Hatch was saying he wants to hold judgment on Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.

Hatch told Cavuto we know that President Obama is not going to nominate a moderate or a conservative. He said he considers retiring liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens "a very fine Justice," even though he often disagreed with him.

“Great” in the sense of influential and causing large changes in society. Not great in the sense of coming up with well-reasoned opinions that follow the constitution. It’s not possible for a liberal to be “great” in that sense.

Hatch apparently wants to follow Bennett out the door. Here’s praying that Utah Tea Partiers are paying close attention.

Hatch, like Bennett and all moderates and RINOs, needs to be removed from office and all influence on the GOP.

The fine people of Utah - your work is not finished. Time to dump this stinking RINO too.

Can’t they just for once fight for us?

Don’t they realize that they ARE the frogs being brought up slowly to a boil.

She argued the CITIZENS UNITED case where she told the court the law gave the President/executive the power to ban pamphlets, books, Kindle downloads, films, videos, websites and all kinds of other crap.

Say NO WAY to this ‘woman’.

Hatch should have been “retired” 20 years ago.

He’s morphed from the conservative I met 40 years ago into a socialist RINO and apparently reverted to his roots as a union iron lather.

You’d think in that big melon of his, he’d have a few cells that were still functioning.

Washington is a company town. These people exist to cover each others' butts rather than carry out their constitutional duties. At this point in our history, it is Washington vs. the United States.

Dear Senator Hatch:

When Howard Phillips warned that David Souter was a BAD MAN because he had voted to perform abortions at a hospital on whose board he served, you dismissed that line of argumentation.

You said, “There are good people on both sides of this issue.”

Think about that: There are GOOD PEOPLE who are in favor of chopping babies into pieces and sending them down the toilet or dispos-all.

GOOD PEOPLE.

Tell me, Senator Hatch: Are there ANY Bad People in the whole wide world? ANYBODY? Tell me some wicked, violent atrocity that ANYONE could commit that would make that person a BAD CHARACTER, and thus unfit for the Supreme Court.

Whatever it is, it MUST be worse than chopping up babies and sending the pieces down the toilet or dispos-all.

WHAT IS IT???

Washington IS the United States. That’s the problem.
