Read the comments under the article. Readers are not impressed with this judicial candidate.
“UC Berkeley law professor “
Says all I need to know.
"Liberal senators politely chide judge Thomas over his lewd behavior toward shocked underling."
Another one of Obama’s Marxist appointees. Is there any doubt Obama is a Marxist?
I recall having read that some people went to great lengths to dig up stuff on Bork, even to the point of asking a video store for his rental records and publishing the results!
My new tag line
>Read the comments under the article. Readers are not impressed with this judicial candidate.<
the country wasn’t and still is not impressed with Congress or Obama care and it isn’t stopping either of them is it?
We are so screwed.
As a loyal Conservative, I’m feeling thoroughly chastened. Hopefully, Conservative questioners will be inspired to look to Democrat manners to treat judicial nominees as they deserve to be treated. Perhaps we can start with Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer to guide our actions, yeah, that oughta do it.
