MODERATION? HA!!!!

Hunh, no mention of the constitution at all from the senator.
Guess it just doesn't enter into his view.

Don't want any of those Nazis, Stalinists, or Kmer Rouge guys on the Supreme Court.

And certainly no American soldiers!

“There are good, solid conservatives available that are not hard right,” said Mr. Durbin. “I hope the president understands.”
