Every Senator From The Previous Congress Will Go Down In Infamy. when the first woman dies. She might be a young girl or maybe an elderly woman. I'm not going to argue for a woman's right to a medical procedure to save her life. I'm not going to say anything more than that until they ban in vitro fertilization, the whole bunch of them are hypocrites and murderers by their own definition.

Bush won. Judge Roberts was the answer to the religious rights' prayers. They won. Everyone wants to talk about the collective anger in the Dem rank and files, but no one wants to say why so many people are so angry.

I'll speak for myself. This is the darkest hour of need that I have ever lived through. I simply cannot believe that these lawyer types actually believed that Roberts was a gimme to replace Rehnquist. Were they really suprised when Connors quit liquidy-split after the Roberts confirmation? Then, Alito won his confirmation almost as easily. Very few administrations get what George W. Bush, the worst president in history, got handed to him on a silver platter. His party held the majority in both houses of Congress. The administration worked with an opposition party that didn't oppose, or even get anything meaningful in return, when they gave something up.

I live on the Dade Broward county line and volunteered during the 2000 recount. I witnessed this goon, Roberts, causing a riot to disrupt a legal proceeding and he wasn't even a Florida resident. Now, he's in charge of the highest court in the land.

Thanks, Patrick Leahy and the rest of you. Your guy didn't even have the balls to write the decision. He's a liar. It would have taken just one Senator to stand up.

In the interest of fairness, Senator Barack Obama wrote a compelling statement to the Kos community here.

In such circumstances, attacks on Pat Leahy, Russ Feingold and the other Democrats who, after careful consideration, voted for Roberts make no sense. Russ Feingold, the only Democrat to vote not only against war in Iraq but also against the Patriot Act, doesn't become complicit in the erosion of civil liberties simply because he chooses to abide by a deeply held and legitimate view that a President, having won a popular election, is entitled to some benefit of the doubt when it comes to judicial appointments. Like it or not, that view has pretty strong support in the Constitution's design.

It reminds me of a Hillary Clinton statement I don't want to repost. Quite simply, Senator Obama says that he trusted the office of the presidency. Maybe, the two of them should rethink that one and meditate on the balance of power.

If they haven't gotten it by now, I'm sure the Republicans in this new Congress will be perfect role models to show the Democrats how to mount an effective oppostion. I guess the Democrats never stopped to wonder why people vote for candidates in the minority party.

Religious nuts don't just screw women. Caving in to the religious right has fubared everyone but the fanatics. If you think that this ruling isn't going to change things, you're probably a man.

Update: Adam B. on dKos said it best.

Want to overturn this legislation and prevent worse from coming in the future? Elect better legislators.
