One of the Most Frustrating Things About the SCOTUS Nominations…

…is how incorrectly the basic purpose of the Supreme Court is viewed.
today’s NYT’s:
If Judge Samuel Alito Jr.’s confirmation hearings lacked drama, apart from his wife’s bizarrely over-covered crying jag, it is because th…

You can thank the American Thinker as I routinely read them and they had a link to you which I bookmarked and have added to your growing audience.

Great post, Rick.

It just goes to show the liberal mindset: “whether we win elections or not, GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. We are smarter then you Conservatives. The People are just yahoo’s who need to be told what to do, and do not know any better then to vote for the GOP.”

They would like nothing better then their own version of a Nannystate. Yet, I am sure not one person at the Times had an issue with an extreme left wing pick like Ginsburg.

Of course, the Times’ stock is plummeting, their on-line readership is down since the start of their Times Select garbage. The only people who really read Mo Do and Krugs were Conservatives, now, we ‘taint paying for the “priveledge”

Here’s some further proof that the Gray Lady doesn’t even understand the role of a judge, which is to interpret law, not to create it under a cloud of sanctimonious rhetoric about “the little guy.”

He [Alito] has long argued that the Constitution does not protect abortion rights.

Could that be because it obviously doesn’t?

But the NY Times understands its own role, which is becoming increasingly clear to everyone — to propagandize on behalf of the left edge of the Democratic Party.

Ladies and Gents,

Good work! Nothing warms my heart like a liberal clutching at straws, i.e. NYT editorials. I’m reminded of the quote, ‘even a small man casts a long shadow when the sun is going down’.

Judge Alito’s Radical Views

If Ruth Bader Ginsburg could replace Byron White (Roe’s leading dissenter), why can’t Alito replace O’Conner.

Rick: Tired yet of hearing that you have done another great post? Too bad, you have another great post here.

After the last election I do believe that the MSM does realize that the gig is up. But, and here comes the tricky part for them, after years of saying that in no way do they flack for the left they couldn’t then proceed to right themselves and prove that the conservatives were correct all along. See the trap they are in? If the ‘06 and ‘08 elections outcome is favorable to republicans then I believe that MSM will start, ever so delicately, report with some balance. They will have to because if they wish to continue to sing to their chorus, there won’t be many of them out there. They need to build diverse subscribers.
Right now, since ‘04 they chose to hit hard and stay on the left, one last ditch effort to bring down President Bush. Next time they will cut their own throats if they continue along this path. Same goes for polling places, i.e. Zogby. Zogby had Kerry all the way, well until a day or two before the elections. Why the huge shift in the numbers? Well it would be difficult for Zogby to sell their services next time if they blow it so badly last time. Other pollers did the same thing, got somewhat honest the closer to the election. Saving face, very deceptive.
Been trying to remember back when Ginsberg was nominated for the supreme court. Was there any mention of replacing that seat with same-thinking including gender, person? Don’t think so. This ploy of the left isn’t working to presuade conservatives and resonable thinking left know that this is crap, the rest of them see their party fail again in not doing whatever it takes to stop President Bush! So they end up a failure all around.
OH CANADA……….you go country! Oh where oh where will the lefties promise to go? Cuba? Let’s hope

I think it’s interesting that the NYTimes has clearly given up on seeing another Democrat administration. That, or they can’t see past the next three years.

Objecting to Alito based on the powers they say he will give the Presidency certainly indicates that they foresee no event whereby a President of their liking could benefit from such judicial fiat.

Unfortunately for the NYT, the fact that Republicans hold the Presidency, the House and the Senate, plus a majority of state goverorships, kinda indicates that WE are the mainstream, not the reactioanry left.

Deal with it.

The reality is that the NYT hasn’t published a legitimate editorial in a long time. They are reduced to unhinged, shreiking screeds like today’s. As usual, the root of the problem lies in the fact that Pinchette Sulzberger is running this nuthouse (Pardon, Rick), and hires everyone based on his personal notions of ‘diversity’ (ie., people who think like he does). Therefore we have an editorial page run by the shrill, lightweight leftist Gail Collins, whose previous claim to international fame was as a mediocre Metro columnist for the New York Daily News. They live in a bubble and have no idea of how out of touch and despised they are.
