Massachusetts' Senators Once Again Trying To Force Their Will On The Rest Of The Nation

Say it with me Democrats...the word is minority.

Minority (noun): the lesser number, opposition to majority [the bigger number]

Why do I bring up the word "minority?" Well, it seems a couple ultra liberal senators from Massachusetts have come to the conclusion that they speak for the rest of the nation.

"We can't afford to see the court's swing vote, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, replaced with a far-right ideologue like Samuel Alito," Sen. John Kerry said in a released statement.

And speaking of out of whack "ideologues"...

"This is a vote of a generation and a test of conscience," Sen Ted Kennedy also said in a statement. "Judge Alito does not share the values of equality and justice that make this country strong. He does not deserve a place on the highest court of the land."

Not that I am questioning Kennedy and Kerry's motives or their ability to see a great legal genius when it place before their eyes but consider this assessment for the American Bar Association:

"Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has been given the American Bar Association's highest rating for professional stature and integrity, an important political legal barometer"--unanimous vote of the 15-member committee

What the hell are the Democrats looking for? Can someone please explain to me what will appease the Democrats in the way of a Supreme Court justice? Don't forget the American Bar Association's rating was held as the gold standard by Democrats in opposing Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork during the Reagan administration. What changed? Oh, yeah...the fact the America Bar Association supports Alito's appointment and it didn't support Bork. Got it.

Oh, what the hell, since Democrats are married to opinion polls lets just look at the pulse of the nation and see what average Americans have to say [you know, instead of speaking for them]:

"A majority of Americans said the Senate should confirm federal appellate judge Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, with just 30 percent opposing his confirmation, according to a poll released Monday." CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey

Of course, as I have said before the only poll I care about is the one where we went into a little booth and voted. The citizens of this country knew what was on the line when we voted in the 2004 Presidential elections, and "majority of Americans" spoke loud and clear that Bush was the person to be trusted with shaping the new look of the Supreme Court. I find the Democrats opposition to Alito's appointment on the Supreme Court to be about two years too late...or basically on par with the way they run their party.

And for the love of God, will someone in Democratic Party please muzzle the failed Presidential candidate and the drunken manslaughterer from Massachusetts? Is it any wonder why Democrats are the minority?
