Call a Lie a Lie on Judges

I'm glad to see the Republicans showing some backbone on the fate of the nominations that the Democrats in Congress are blocking.

The headlines today indicate that leading Republicans, including Karl Rove and Bill Frist are rejecting Democrat blackmail, called a "compromise" by the press, to stop fillibustering judges if the Republicans will kill some nominations. Good for them. Both rejected the deal and called for votes on the judges and the nominee for UN Ambassador, John Bolton.

The Democrats, the Petty Party, are embarrassing themselves with their petty name calling and obstructionism.

On Bolton: their main charge being that he was "mean" to subordinates. Is that the standard they want to set in a power hungry town like Washington D.C.? Especially in the U.S. Senate, where the Senators consider themselves to be 100 princes? Do they want to start calling in some of their staff from years ago to ask about their manner. It's petty, and it's ridiculous.

On the Predident's judicial nominees: the Democrats are, as we've all heard, accusing the judges of being "outside the mainstream". It's a lie. And it should be labelled as a lie every time a Republican leader gets in front of a microphone.

The judges have been approved by the ABA as qualified. The reason that the Petty Party is trying to block the judges in the Judiciary Committee is that the judges will be approved by a majority vote if a vote is allowed by the full Senate. That places them in the mainstream.

It's very apparent who here is "out of the mainstream". It's the Democrat leadership - who can't win elections for President and who can't win majority power in Congress and who rely on activist judges to enact their agenda from the bench.

I agree with Rove and Frist. Vote on the judges.
