I just don’t understand all this bleating about “overriding the will of the voters” from the left, anyway. Haven’t Federal circuit court judges routinely done just that, in California and elsewhere? They’re trying to override the will of the voters regarding Prop. 8 in CA right this very moment. So, this argument doesn’t wash with me.

Here, we have a candidate, a complete cipher, who has concealed just about everything pertaining to his life leading up to election, who has had questions raised about his eligibility for office, almost from the outset, who is absolutely unabashed about using legal technicalities to remove his own opposition. What’s the problem, then? Hold him to account.

The SOB needs to follow his own advice.

Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us.

Federal courts are not involved in the CA Prop. 8 cases.
