What can I say? Liberal idiocy and intolerance on display once again.

[BostonianRightist]

No one gives a **** what Senator Feinstein says. Let her make an a** of herself.

[Brilliant]

Looks like Feinstein has been persuaded by her liberal compadres to put up a fight.

All I've got to say is "Make my day."

If they filibuster Roberts, and the GOP exercises the nuclear option, then the victims of the McCain insurrection will also finally get their votes.

[hsalaw]

"in her opinion the person chosen to replace Sandra Day O'Connor should be "balanced and Fair," and not come from either extreme."

She is indeed an idiot. Who ever said that the Pres. has to replace that waffling O'Connor with another waffler? Pres. Bush won; he's the president; he gets to nominate the judges. That's the FACT that they won't accept.

So Feinstein is going to oppose Roberts and make a spectacle of herself at the confirmation hearings. Is this supposed to be some kind of surprise?

[KarlInOhio]

How Feinstein and the other liberal senators vote matters very little. How conservative senators vote also matters little. What matters are the moderates of both parties. If a few dems refuse to support a filibuster and the Republicans stand together, then Roberts will be confirmed. On the other hand, if the RINOs don't support Roberts or refuse to aid the nuclear option if the Dems filibuster, then Roberts won't get the 50 votes he needs.

We have the stupidest two Senators representing California! I am ashamed to live here. The state is so liberal that the only way to defeat these people is for them to die in office. Boxer is even worse.

I am still not sure on Roberts. I don't want another Souter on the high court.

[Semper Paratus]

And if Ginsberg was the one leaving (I wish) then a liberal should replace her for balance.

And if Scalia was the one leaving then a liberal should replace him for balance.

Sen. Feinstein Hints at John Roberts Rejection

Well, if Sen. Feinstein came on to me, I'd reject her too!

[OESY]

On Sen. Arlen Nosferatu, from a New York Times piece:

"Mr. Specter's plans, outlined in the second letter he has sent to Judge Roberts, drew applause from Democratic senators and liberal groups, who said Mr. Specter appeared to be pushing Judge Roberts to choose between conservative calls for "judicial restraint" and efforts by other conservatives to shift power from Congress to the states."

[Personal Responsibility]

Someone should let Senator Feinstein know that, to quote Peter Kirsanow's article on National Review:

Roberts’s opponents should be stunned, then, to learn that the Court agreed with Roberts’s “extremist” civil rights positions 70 percent of the time.

(link to the full article: http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/kirsanow200508230804.asp)

But we know what they mean by mainstream. They mean "Doesn't agree with the liberal Democrat party platform that has lost countless House and Senate seats and has only won 3 presidential elections in my entire 36 years on this earth."

[Doc Savage]

Oh gee, I'm crushed!

[johnny7]

The Dems CAN'T let Roberts be approved. They're in dept to their eyeballs to the abortion industry. I doubt they will filibuster but the most we'll get from their side is maybe 3-4 votes.

And if by some chance they do muster a filibuster... you only have to look at the RINO's in our ranks to realize that Roberts is no slam-dunk.

[stocksthatgoup]

I am shocked! Shocked!
