Let's compile a list of the Rat talking points on SCOTUS:
1) Must be a "consensus candidate".
2) Bush won by smallest margin of any president.
3) The court must reflect American social philosophy....ignore the REAL constitutional definition of the court's role.
4) Bush is obligated to "bring us together".
5) Look for stare decisis (sp?) to be a major talking point. Dems will argue that decided law can't be changed.
(I'm not even going to list the "women will die" rhetoric.)
All of the above are sooooo easily shot down. I sure hope Boyden Gray et al are taking notes and preparing to do just that.
Please add to the list as you detect new items in the Dem's spin machine.
There must be room amongst that lost for Bush lied.
Plessy v. Ferguson.
Steve, a Dim 'strategist' on FNC was just on w Fred Barnes - he said the following, which I've also heard this week:
6) Bush can't/shouldn't nominate right-wing extremists (such as Lettwig)
7) Bush needs to follow the constitution and get advice (and approval) from the Dim Senators [note: they keep twisting the constitution - it's advise and consent (e.g., up and down vote) - not pre-approval]
8) The Senate needs to quit 'rubber-stamping' everything the President wants [note: I don't recall the Senate rubber-stamping anything the Pres wanted - -he's had to fight to get everything through the Senate]
