Doing its Constitutional Duty

"This means that Mr. Bush - like Presidents Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush before him - would agree to submit nominees from the broad mainstream of legal thought, with a commitment to judging cases, not promoting a political agenda."
This is unadulterated Bravo Siera. The so called "mainstream" are too far left of the majority opinion of the average U.S. citizen. A major correction is needed to swing to courts toward strict constructionism - no more compromises that have hurt the SCOTUS and lower courts.
bump!
And Cheney to break ties.
HillaryCare didn't even see the light of day in Congress. Even the Democrats knew it was a bad deal, and many of them voted against it. Although, you can bet enough Democrats would vote for the piece of garbage, because the general makeup of the Democrat party has since shifted further to the left. Especially in light of their militant gay agenda and other acts of treason, treachery, sedition, and various other forms of kook, wacko, Liberal nonsense.
Are you kidding me? This crap passes for news? Just more from the (liberal) media.
Exactly..
Posh.
WHat the leftist gobs in the senate are doing IS NOT A FILIBUSTER.
You will appreciate this my friend.
The NYT has been trying, for some weeks now, to GIVE it's papers away to students at our local university. Generally, they find yesterdays stack, unopened, in the trash dumpster the next morning.
He's called The Slickster for a reason. Kerry and Dean couldn't hide their abject Liberalism, and they lost. The Clinton's are more capable of hiding, masking, and camouflaging their true agenda, and therefore, appear to be moderates.
Actually, its the Constitution that claims that. Not that the Times actually would care.
Please get your comments to Karl Rove.
Is it me or does the New York Times sound like a parody of itself.
Sure they do- it's in the 5th floor men's restroom, in a dispenser next to the toilet located just below Maureen Dowd's phone number.
But far left judges, who look to the failing states of Europe to craft their rulings, are OK.
Yeah, the Surgeon General is as important as elevated-for-life judges. Whats the most important decision the Surgeon General has made in the last 10 years? To fight AIDS? What the heck do they *EVER* do for us that some other choice of Surgeons General would not do virtually the same?
The Times just makes me sick, ya know? Their idea of "the President should work with the senate" is "The President should just listen to what Harry Reid says". If Lord-of-the-dem's-Reid does not like a candidate, then that candidate should be removed from consdieration.
Yes, its nice that you won that Presidency there, George. But we stil have to do everything my way, with my people.
I find it really funny how you never hear how Reid is not "working with the President to come up with a mutually acceptable list" when they disagree about candidates. The dems are *ALWAYS* portrayed as right, the Repubs *ALWAYS* portrayed as wrong....even though the Repubs have a clear majority in the house, senate *AND* Presidency.
Exactly what is the Slimes referring to? Generally, the Slimes will take a kernel of a grain of half truth and distort it all out of actual meaning. What was their kernal of truth that they are alluding to? When do they think a majority not been enough for a judicial confirmation?
Well said in your #30. Well said.
