Dems had their chance to pick justice

Wordsmything at its finest PING.

Poor Richard Cohen. Born with a dimpled chad in his cheeks.

[aquila48]

Poor sad Richard Cohen, unabletomoveon.org after five years, is a fine emblem for the Democrats: Ask not for whom the chad hangs, it hangs for thee.

Great finale, as usual.

Wordsmything at its finest....

"Too many notes."

[EagleUSA]

He puts it well - and the mornon Dems just keep proving it daily. A "party" without a purpose FOR AMERICA, without substance, clarity, vision, and an honest output of their real agenda -- which still remains socialism, power, and control and all for themselves.

They are easy to defeat, since they do most of the work themselves!!

[Brilliant]

In the words of leading Democratic thinker Nancy Pelosi, "It is a decision of the Supreme Court -- so this is almost as if God has spoken."

I'm glad that Nancy Pelosi has summed up the Dem attitude toward the Supreme Court so suscinctly.

[Let's Roll]

"That's one reason why some of us like the old-fashioned method of having the big questions of the day decided by the votes of free-born citizens. When you leave them to be adjudicated by nine men and women on the basis of their opinions and you wind up on the losing side, it's bound to feel less satisfactory."

Anyone else notice how this describes Roe exactly - as Rush has pointed out so many times. In the UK, they got to vote on the abortion issue - we had it imposed by judicial fiat.

The dims are bitter about a ruling that kept them from power - an Act of God if there ever was one. We at least are bitter about a ruling that has killed 1.5 million - that's million - babies a year. Who has the moral high ground here?

I happen to be writing this in a taxicab stuck in traffic in Central London, where bombs are going off, and it seems to me last November was a little about all that loud exploding stuff, too. If the Democrats hadn't been so hung up on chads and the court, they might have had something to say about that.

They did, they were against "exploding stuff", ours that is. They were somewhat more ambivalent about the "exploding stuff" from the folks wanting a return to the "good old days" of the 8th century Mid East.

[SmithL]

I enjoyed that.

The Democrats never recovered from the 2000 election

I would argue that they never recovered from the 1986 election, when they married themselves "till death do us part" to the worst man ever to win the Presidency. Or even more certainly, to his impeachment saga, when they sold the last vestiges of their soul to keep his pasty white butt in that office.

I'd suggest adding "(Mark Steyn)" or "(Steyn Alert)" to the title. Folks who mightn't click on the title, would click on a Steyn article.

[Logical me]

he is expected to substantially reflect the views of George W. Bush, the man who nominated him to the Supreme Court

Thanks for the info. It's great to be encouraged something right is on the horizon.

[KeyWest]

My in-laws are obsessed with the 2000 election and hate Bush. I do not bother to talk politics with them but have told them that unless their party (and they) get over it, they will continue to lose elections.

Why can't I express myself like this?
