(Washington - AP) — US Senator Jim Jeffords says he will oppose the nomination of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court.
Jeffords says that while he believes Alito is qualified to serve on the court, he does not believe the country would be served by his judicial philosophy.
The independent senator says that he does not believe Alito fully appreciates the limits on the power of the presidency.
Jeffords is a democrat in drag...why is this surprising?
What else would be expected from him? At least he wil be gone from the Senate next November.....
I believe he is the only man who ever caused leadership of the Senate to change party hands exclusive of an election! Go home Dim Jumpin' Jim!
They are...just ask any of them. They STILL bash people, especially Southerners, for their stupidity re: 2000/2004 election results.
"The independent senator says that he does not believe Alito fully appreciates the limits on the power of the presidency."
Hysterically funny yet profoundly sad. The DemocRATS are so far gone into their leftist delusions of grander that they no longer even have the capacity to discern the depth and breadth of their own hypocrisy.
By the way. If anyone out there actually believes that Judas Jeffords is really an independent; I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.
I hope something really bad happens to this turncoat backstabbing @sshole. It would put a smile on my face.
You mean our favorite Submarine Commander of Chappaquiddick?
My guess:
Collins= No
Snowe= No
Alexander= Yes
Chafee= No
I think it will be
Collins= Yes
Snowe= No
Alexander= Yes
Chafee= No
Jeffords was preceded by the staunch GOP liberal Robert Stafford, and he will be followed by the socialist Democrat Bernard Sanders. VT is not moving "to the right."
You might be right, but isn't Collins as liberal as Snowe?
I don't think Beck's music is CIA material. They'll probably pass it along to the NSA and FBI. Just pay no attention to the black helicopter above your home, the man reading your meter, or the DSL representative that mysteriously appears at your front door offering incredible savings.
Isn't that all that is required in "advise and consent?" Sounds like he blatantly showed the libs' hand... well, not like it wasn't there for all of us to see....
Technically, Collins is about .003 more conservative than Snowe, but they do "moderate" the ultraliberalism of ME people.
Well, probably. That's because an enormous portion of the current Vermont population has moved there from that bastion of certitude, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A place where not tax is too big(kinda like Sen. Kennedy's trousers).
Interestingly, in 1795, it was said that the literacy rate of New England was somewhere around 95%. AH, Puritan guilt can be a great motivator! I would guess that the literacy rate in ole New England is a mite less than 95% today.
Vermont and intelligence? Well, just take a look at who it biggest pols are. It seems that libs are most pleased with themselves when they are being deliberately obtuse and question positively everything. They delight, apparently, in parsing everything to distraction.
Soon the state slogan in Vermont will read thusly: "Words are precious, action is cheap."
I rest my case, your honor.
