Guess Frankenfeinstein is trying to out-Boxer the Botoxer in the outrageous department. I can't wait for the hearings.
Schumer Says ABA Rating Is “Gold Standard” For Judges, Only If You’re A Liberal (VIDEO)
(Reads:ABA evaluation has been the gold standard by which judicial candidates are judged.)
Funny how Schumer doesn’t apply that standard to Alito, who recently got the highest possible rating from thE ABA (American Bar Association).
But, the hypocrisy doesn’t stop there. Schumer goes on to say that the reason why he has a problem with Alito is because of his “judicial philosphy”:
And that is, their judicial philosophy. They have enormous power in this lifetime appointment to be a Supreme Court Justice. How are they going to use it? Are they going to follow the law or are they going to impose their views on the American people in a very ideological way and judges at the extreme far right, far left, tend to do that.
It seems that you, Mr. Schumer, are doing the exact thing you are complaining about. You are using your power to “impose” your “views on the American people”. However, Schumer’s hypocrisy doesn’t end here. Russert goes after the Senator for voting to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but not wanting to vote for Alito:
RUSSERT: But here’s the situation, as many people see it, when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was put forward by Bill Clinton, she had been general counsel for the ACLU, Steven Breyer had worked for Ted Kennedy, and yet they were overwhelmingly confirmed because they had competence and temperament, as you say. And even though they had a more liberal, judicial philosophy than many members of the Senate, it was a democratic President who had the right to make that nomination. If in fact Republicans supported them, why shouldn’t Democrats support Alito who has been rated well qualified, the gold standard of the ABA., And whose philosophy may be conservative, but it’s no more conservative than Ginsberg and Breyer were liberal?

Andrew, you wouldn't believe the pain and anxiety the vets are going through still and has been through all the more because of their treatment and what they see going on now.
