So Base and Yet So Baseless

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean, in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN last Friday, indulged in some of the most irresponsible, divisive, and utterly groundless demagoguery I've heard from him yet. Here he explains why the John Roberts nomination as Chief Justice is connected to Katrina, and why the Senate should "absolutely" reject his confirmation:

John Roberts' legal career has been about taking away every protection for young girls and women who want to participate in sports, for African-Americans and Hispanics who want the equal same right to vote as everybody else, for taking away for women who believe they should determine what kind of health care they have, instead of having politicians do it.

His entire legal career appears to be about making sure those folks don't have the same rights everybody else does. That's probably not the right thing to do two weeks after a disaster, where certain members of society clearly did not have the same protections that everybody else did because of their circumstances.

I know Judge Roberts loves the law. I'm not sure he loves the American people.

Needless to say, Dean offered no concrete examples of his absurd allegations that Roberts prevented anyone from participating in sports, voting, or choosing their health care, or that anyone was denied the same protections as everyone else after Katrina.
