After Santorum Apologizes, ADL Reiterates Concern About Use of Nazi Imagery In Filibuster Debate
New York, NY, May 20, 2005 … After Senator Rick Santorum apologized for his remarks comparing the Democrats use of the filibuster to oppose judicial nominees to “the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942,” the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reiterated its concern about inappropriate comparisons to Nazis and the Holocaust in political debates, which are becoming all-too common in Washington.
“Once again, Nazi imagery was used in a political debate, where it has no place,” said Abraham H.

That apology was not for Catholicism nor as to anything in the posted article but for citing Demonrat Senate tactics i blocking decent judges and that was nearly 7 years ago.

I also think that if Obozo gets any mor opportunities to nominate any mor judge or any more federal officials of any sort requiring Senate confirmation, GOP senators should just say no. If the judiciary ceases to function, then it will be because Obozo was elected/or re-elected and because the GOP in the latter event did not nominate a sufficiently conservative candidate.
