It is Monday morning, and the Democrats are threatening filibuster, according to Charles Hurt. Says Senator Charles Schumer about Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito:
"If he continuously, given his previous record, refused to answer questions and hid behind ’I can’t answer this because it might come before me,’ it would increase the chances of a filibuster."
Notice the use of the passive voice here.
On the other hand, Alito supporter Senator John Cornyn voices support for President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee.
A 2004 study by two law professors found him to be the fourth most independent federal appeals-court judge in the United States.
But you can understand the passion of the liberal interest groups. They know that their mountain of progressive legislation and their pile of liberal court decisions are under attack. Their great liberal monuments are under attack because America has moved on from the polity and the economy of liberal clientage, except in the benighted liberal cities where schools rot and liberal activist groups entice troubled Americans into lifelong dependency.
All over the nation young families are moving from blue states to red states to get away from the expense and the tyranny of liberal government, to find the jobs they need and to find housing they can afford and schools they can trust. They know that they need to get away from liberals if they are going to be able to realize their dreams.
And liberals want to stop them.
No wonder liberals have sworn to stop the nomination of Samuel A. Alito to become associate justice on the United States Supreme Court. They feel their power slipping away, and they will do anything to keep it.
