These RINOs really owe the President and the Alabama delegation and explaination. What on earth is their reson for opposing Pryor?
I can understand someone opposing Janice Rogers Brown for idealogical reasons. She is a modern day Ayn Rand, so she terrifies liberals/socialists and wimpy moderates.
But Pryor is not an idealogue. He is just a southern conservative, a law and order prosecutor, and a Roman Catholic.
He has no judical activist tendancies, in fact, his history suggests the exact opposite.
I just have to assume anyone who opposes Pryor is simply an anti-catholic, or anti-southern bigot. There is no other explaination.
some folks hate him because he dealt the death blow to judge roy's publicity campaign on the ten commandments.
others hate him because he is a constitutionalist.
I think the ones you mentioned hate him because he is pretty much a strict constructionist judge... one that might stand and rule against their favorite form of ritualistic slaughter... abortion... using constitutional means.
