Judge Charles Pickering on the “Gang of 14″
To those of you who were/are frustrated with Senator McCain because of his involvement with the Gang of 14, I offer you the following quote from Judge Charles Pickering:
There is no way you can look at that agreement as a Democratic victory. Two days after the Deal was announced, Owen was confirmed by the Senate. Two weeks later, Brown was confirmed, and the next day the Senate confirmed Pryor. These confirmations were exactly what President Bush and the Republicans had tried to accomplish for five long years and the Democrats had blocked.
The confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Sam Alito –two exceptionally capable and conservative jurists– were made relatively easy because of the “Gang of Fourteen Agreement.”

Nothing to do with this issue noted above (which is very good BTW) but interesting, Catholic, addresses the recent Supremes case, and timely for today. A Feddie/Kathyrn Jean Lopez post item.

K-Lo notes a problem:
The positive spin, from an e-mailer:
You asked: What were any Catholic sisters doing voting for either Clinton or Obama?
Isn’t it obvious? Participating in Operation Chaos!
This time, I don’t have faith.
