Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy is building quite a legacy. Already responsible for a judge shortage on the federal courts, Vermont's super-partisan has now received a remedial education in the separation of powers.

It comes in the form of a letter of rebuke from no fewer than seven former U.S. Solicitor Generals -- from both political parties and stretching all the way back to Archibald Cox in the Kennedy Administration. The other signers are Seth Waxman, Walter Dellinger and Drew Days (Clinton), Ken Starr (George H.W. Bush), Charles Fried (Reagan) and Robert Bork (Nixon).

Just a reminder that Leahy has no business being Senate Judiciary Chairman in the first place. If not for the turncoat Jeffords Leahy would no be screwing up this country the way he has been.

The main problem, of course, are the morons that elect these idiots in the forst place.

If Leahy could learn lessons, he wouldn't be the lying, leftist scumbag he is. This unprecedented letter from US Solitors General will be to Leahy as water off a duck. Leahy is covered by his impregnable armor of ignorance and arrogance.

That Photo deserves a BARF! alert...

I've added the state of Vermont to my "will not visit/purchase/watch" list thanks to Leahy and Jeffords. Unfortunately, that list is growing longer and longer.
