A momentary flash of the elusive "spine."
You wrote, "If Roberts meets this level of dishonesty . . ."
Are you suggesting that Roberts is dishonest? There is absolutely nothing to justify any suggestion that Roberts is dishonest!
Good point. It's also the case (so I've read) that Fortas did not have sufficient votes for confirmation (probably due to fencesitters), so the filibuster wasn't thwarting the will of the majority.
No, he's saying that if it were shown that Roberts were as dishonest as Abe Fortas, a filibuster might be in order. It was a hypothetical. Nothing to suggest that Roberts is dishonest.
Go Chuckie! Ask your stupid questions and show the voters how petty and vindictive the Democratic party is.
You da man!
Judges need to judge each case based on the merits of each case, otherwise, why have judges? Can Chuckie be held in contempt for forcing judges to ask contemptible questions?
Hypothetically, if Bubba had 6 (or even all 9), openings in the Supremes, would the radical left insist that the court MUST HAVE 4 conservatives, 4 leftists, and one spineless swing-judge? Yeah right!
GWB will have something Bubba never had and never will have, and that's a legacy.
I thought it was more like
YEEEEAAARRRGGGHHH!!

Roberts refused to answer questions on how he would rule in particular cases when he was up for the DC court and he will do so again. Chuckie can whine and cry all he wants, he's not going to get the answers to his questions.
His petty character will be noticed however by the public and associated with the Democratic party. He's likely to be joined by Fat Teddy and a few other Dim Senators which is all the better.
It's not just appearance. Those of us in the arms rights community have know his character for decades.
Which is cause and which is effect, between brain damage and liberalism?
Personally, I think liberalism is caused by being cooped up in big, high density, cities. The same thing happens to rats, the rodent variety, if you crowd them together too much.
You're right. It's not natural.
It's called dumbness. It affects many of Jewish background and heritage. Thank God it does not hinder most in Israel and their fantastic IDF! It's American Jews that are the idiots, and Schumer is in the top ten!!!
