Just as the left and the MSM are starting to chip away at Bush's political capital with their constant lies about Iraq and Katrina, two members of the annointed left-wing judiciary attack the Pledge of Allegiance and a ban on infanticide supported by nearly 90% of the population.
If anything can be used to crystalize what is at stake with Supreme Court nominations it is these decisions. Nothing could have provided better political ammunition for appointing another conservative justice. I hope no babies die in the meantime, but these decisions gave Bush and the republicans all they need to get anyone through the nomination process.
It drives the DUmmies crazy! They know how much this judicial harlotry will cost them in '06 and '08.
It's like going down to the cellar and finding a fine bottle of Schadenfraude you thought had been misplaced.
Actually, although 90%+ of the US population are against PBA and for the Pledge, that has little to NOTHING to do with things. The idiots on the Judiciary Committee and those beholden to the Special Interest Groups will decide who to let sit on SCOTUS based not on what the people want (heaven forbid!), but what their own idiology and politics push them to do. (So, actually, saying that Dubya could place "anyone" on SCOTUS now because we have enough tweaked off Americans really isn't reality).
And, we know where the Demorats stand on killing "partially born" babies, tearing down the culture, overriding the will of the people on defining marriage as between a man and a woman, etc.
It's almost like they can't help themselves. They are SO in bed with these ultra-left splinter groups that they've lost touch with what they were sent there to do in the first place, and that's to represent the Will of the People. IF that were still the case, we'd have a lot more lattitude on who gets on the Court and what their political opinions on these things would be, because there'd be hell to pay for the kinds of stunts that the Dems have pulled with the process. Unfortunately, most Americas - despite being generally tweaked off about how far out of sanity we've slipped on PBA, the Pledge, "Gay Marriage" (an oxymoron), etc do NOTHING when it comes time to vote. And that's why the lunacy continues.
