Teddy says Roberts and Alito lied to the Judiciary Committee

Here is a link to the recent Washington Post op-ed from SA’s favorite senator and drunk driver.  Here is a taste of his indictment:

Now that the votes are in from their first term, we can see plainly the agenda that Roberts and Alito sought to conceal from the committee. Our new justices consistently voted to erode civil liberties, decrease the rights of minorities and limit environmental protections. At the same time, they voted to expand the power of the president, reduce restrictions on abusive police tactics and approve federal intrusion into issues traditionally governed by state law.

Teddy, you still don’t get it.  The party in the White House gets to choose judges and justices (subject to advice and consent).  You will likely disagree with the judicial philosphy of the administration’s picks–just like SA readers will disagree with the judicial philosophy of the picks of the next Democractic president.  But so long as the nominee is qualified–like Roberts and Alito obviously were–you can’t cry foul. 

If the Dems want to appoint judges, perhaps they should adopt positions more in line with middle America and win the next presidential election.

    And I guess ol’ Teddy told the truth about what happened on that bridge with Mary Jo so many years ago?
    Whatever.
