“It’s really amazing that a lunatic like this was on the a Supreme Court.”

He was a Republican pick (Ford). Like Souter, Roberts, Blackman, O’Conner, and Harriet Myers sold to us as a conservative.

Interesting how many of the GOP picks are just as bad as the Dem choices.

Interesting how many of the GOP picks are just as bad as the Dem choices.

I'd say that the mask is off: it is now plain to anyone that there is no difference between the Democrat and Republican party… oh, the Republican party may claim they're on our side, but ask yourself this: what has the opposition party really honestly and vigorously opposed from the Democrat's agenda?

1. Fast & Furious?
   Then why has no-one been punished?
2. Roe v. Wade?
   Then why is it always regarded as a losing proposition, even as its public support is now in the minority?
   (Also, why is it that the constitutional right to medical privacy applies to abortion but not, say, the Affordable Care Act?)
3. Gun control? / The Second amendment?
   Oh they're fine with common sense gun-control like we have now&hallip; and traditional/long-standing restrictions like the GCA prohibited persons.
   (Also, why is such an obviously ex post facto, even by the judiciary's watered down definition, law held to be valid?)
   When was the last time the Republican party pushed for repeal of the NFA or GCA?
4. Fiscal [Ir]Responsibility?
   The Republicans did not push the issue of operating for multiple years in the absence of a budget.
   (The Congress is required by law to pass a budget.)
5. Amnesty?
   Just look at their stances and sound-bytes; if it weren't for the upcoming election they'd have already shoved it down our throats.

Since Franklin Roosevelt, the “progressive” media had a veto on any supreme court appointment who was not “progressive” enough, not to mention that the American Bar, dominated by “progressives” has been allowed a veto as well.

Most Republican Presidents have been careful to keep within those guidlines.
