I've made this point before, but The Washington Post's David Broder brings up the issue in his Sunday column and shows just how far out of touch with reality the liberal elite is. At no point that I heard did Alito express sympathy for the men and women who came to his court looking for […]
The Angry Clam fisks the bejeezus out of a New York Times editorial. Check it out. Read the comments too, I particularly liked this one by nk: I believe that I became interested in Supreme Court nominations during the confirmation hearings of Judge Bork. I saw him being verbally abused, slandered and insulted by @##$%s […]
I didn't get to watch the Samuel Alito hearings again. Two 10 1/2-hour days in a row are draining. It should hopefully slow down a little after tomorrow and I can really dig into this stuff. I've managed to do a little catch-up blog and newspaper article reading and a couple of things strike me […]
Make lemonade! NARAL's Goal: "To Convince Enough Senators That Alito Is Wrong For Our Country, We Are Setting A Goal Of Gathering 500,000 Petition Signatures To Deliver To The Senate." (NARAL Email, "Just 5 Days Left!" 12/5/05) NARAL's Result: "With The Help Of More Than 50 Volunteers We Were Able To ... Enter 2,000 Signatures […]
Byron York over at National Review had an excellent debunking of Sen. Ted Kennedy's "study" of Judge Samuel Alito's decisions. Especially amusing was these statements from Kennedy: n an era when too many Americans are losing their jobs or working for less, trying to make ends meet, in close cases Judge Alito has ruled the […]
Judge Edward Cashman is a despicable human being who should be removed from the bench and publicly shunned. There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out a 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many,many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven. The judge said he […]
I just wanted to highlight this letter in Wednesday's New York Times: To the Editor: I don't get it. According to his Princeton classmate Andrew P. Napolitano ("From Alito's Past, a Window on Conservatives at Princeton," front page, Nov. 27), Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. "is so intellectually honest that he labored mightily to keep […]
Let me explain how federal circuit courts work. Appeals are first heard by three judge panels. On rare occasions, the court may grant an en banc hearing, where all of the circuit court's judges decide on the case. So, when it comes to Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito -- the overwhelming majority of the […]
This editorial is proof positive that the editorial writers at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are condescending liberal racists. In decrying the nomination of yet another white male to the Supreme Court, the Journal Sentinel enlightens their readers on the current makeup of the Court. In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven […]
It's unlikely that it will happen, but my #1 choice for the next Supreme Court nominee is: Michael McConnell. My #2 pick: Janice Rogers Brown. Of course, I've now jinxed both of them. Sorry.
