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.

Let him keep talking. Let him say anything he wants. The more he speaks, the more we win!

Patd95: Exactly. I keep watching this all unfold from my safe little seat in Canada, and I keep being amazed at how far the lunatic left fringe has gone. They are guaranteeing, I hope, that the GOP will be in the White House for the next 20 years.
By the way, the one part of the Dean interview I found interesting, was that he did NOT blame Bush for the slow responses. He said that Bush got bad info; exactly what Fox has been saying. But, when asked if the State and N.O. officials were to blame, he changed the topic.
I think that all Moonbats, Dean included, are now trying to go into damage control by saying that "all" levels of government failed. They are trying to prevent the spotlight from shining on their socialist friends in LA.

Dean just makes me feel all warm inside. I was disappointed that I didn't see his mug plastered all over the news this weekend or so far this week.
Aah, though the week is still young.

Frankly, I'd prefer my judges to love the law and not the people. Loving the people is the job of legislators and executives. Out of their tremendous beneficence and adoration of the masses, they can kindly craft laws that are to the people's benefit. The judges can then apply those laws.

Bush should get to appoint who ever he wants to the Supreme Court. After all, they did appoint him as President..........
