Judicial 'Armageddon'

The Day of Judgment is at hand. We know this not because we've seen a vision but because the Prophet Ralph Neas told us so, in a mass e-mailing to journalists yesterday.

"The Approaching Armageddon on Judicial Nominations" is the title of Mr. Neas's latest moral admonition, handed down from his command center at the People for the American Way, where he has spent the past two years directing the Senate Judiciary Committee's evisceration of many of President Bush's judicial nominees. But now the Senate has fallen into the hands of the beast and the end is nigh. The Horsemen of the coming Apocalypse are Mr. Bush's expected appointees to the Supreme Court.

Can the Dems fight all these fronts (taxs, judicial, Korea, Iraq) at the same time?

ping.

Maybe the judiciary will stop legislating by fiat. Maybe the judicial branch will stop making policy. Maybe some conservative types instead of A.C.L.U. dicks will get on the bench. Thank GOD little tommy dashole has been cut off at the knees. (making him all of about what 2'6").

Constitutionalists..the horror...the horror.

The appropriate response to Neas is:

"Thou art a Jagoff. Begone, thou art cast into the Outer Darkness."

Mr. Neas's prophecy extends to the lower courts as well, where he foretells that all 13 federal courts of appeals could fall under the "ideological domination of the far right wing of American legal thought" if Mr. Bush's nominees are confirmed

oh what a wonderful world it would be!

Ralph should tell us how wonderful the 9th circuit decisions
have affected America,and why they should not be replaced
with a more conservative/constitutional set of judges.

[xsmommy]

the sad thing is that the delusional character does believe that.

[Steve_Seattle]

Ralph Neas probably regards Stephen Reinhardt as a model of judicial restraint.
