Pride: SCOTUS solution
It seems our friends on the left have found their talking points on Judge Roberts. The following is lifted from the “People for the American Way” website, but could be from the mouth of any leftist today.
[Insert Leftist organization here] is extremely disappointed that the President did not choose a consensus nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O’Connor. John Roberts’ record raises serious concerns as well as questions about where he stands on crucial legal and constitutional issues – it will be extremely important for Senators and the American people to get answers to those questions. Replacing O’Connor with someone who is not committed to upholding Americans’ rights and legal protections would create far-reaching and long-lasting harm to Americans’ lives and liberties.In the mode of “What’s good for the goose”, I call upon Democrat Senators and Liberal interest groups to heal the nation and not further widen the rift in the body politic by confirming this reasonable appointee. For the good of the nation, be bigger than the President [stifled snicker].
That should do it. Problem solved!
