[Cicero]

So, you think nominating Alito to the Supreme Court is the moral equivalent of offing Ron Brown and Vince Foster and making out with Monica in the Oval Office?

Wow! When you typed that,
did you put down the joint, or
puff it while typing?

(2 ) W. and Miss Harriet cooked up an insiders’ deal from the git-go: She’d be a pretend-candidate, a sacrificial lamb. She’d go through the process, bringing about the inevitable, unfair Democratic reaction and filibuster. Then the reaction to such obstructionism would be so intense that the president could appoint another Scalia in her stead. Result: a decisive constitutional victory for the Republican majority.

That theory makes no sense at all. The Democrats could have opposed her on the completely valid and reasonable grounds that she was a lightweight who knew nothing about constitutional law.
