No competent lawyer could read Gonzales' opinion as a rebuke of "judicial activism" on the part of Justice Owen. Yet the mainstream media have consistently repeated as a "fact" the Democratic talking point that Gonzales so criticized Justice Owen. This is an extreme case of journalistic malpractice. And, without this absurd fabrication, the Democrats have nothing to justify their fiibuster of Justice Owen. Is anyone in the mainstream media paying attention to what top legal experts are telling them?
The fundamental fact is that, to "liberals", the facts don't matter. The idea around which liberalism coheres is that NOTHING actually matters but PR. Another way of putting it is that "there is no such thing as 'the long run'." That is, "in the long run" - when the chickens threaten to come to roost - we will change the subject.

Changing the subject is the fundamental propaganda power of the Establishment which is Objective JournalismTM; what an acolyte of the Establishment said yesterday need not, as the Clinton mouthpieces used to say during the troubles (1993-2001), be "operative" today.

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

Even if you take the allegation of "judicial activism" as true, the nerve of them to criticize her for it is laughable. Anyone can see right through this. What a joke. The Dims have lost this fight, and I think we will see a Constitutional rule change sooner rather than later.

The slimey democrats crooks do not like her because she is not malleable and will not to their bidding nor kowtows to their insane hate against our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

"... the mainstream media have consistently repeated as a 'fact'"


And .. the media is counting on the public being too stupid to figure it out - after all we're just a bunch of Bible-thumping Jesus-freaks - and how could we ever figure out how to find the texts of those court proceedings.

It makes no difference what "top legal experts are telling them". In their mind, the Democrats must win and the Republicans (and Priscilla Owen) must be defeated.

That is the MSM's "value system".

Dick Lugar is on C-Span right now and he's so boring and goofy I THINK I'M GOING TO THROW UP. It's about John Bolton. I can't stand it.
