For months, years even, we've been hearing caterwauling from the leadership of the Left about "the mainstream", especially as it relates to the judiciary. Every time President Bush nominated someone for a judicial post, leaders of the Democrat Left ran to a microphone to denounce them for being "outside the judicial mainstream".
This accusation from the Left reached its peak recently with the nomination of Judge John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Senator after Senator said they would have to withold their vote until they could test his mainstream-ness, as they defined it of course.
We had the hearings. Roberts demonstrated his exceptional qualifications for the position in two days of grilling by the Judiciary Committee. The Senate Democrats failed to land a glove on his credentials or skills.
So, now the Senate has voted. And now the "mainstream" has been clarified.
The vote: 78 to 22.
Who's out of the mainstream? The 22.
Kennedy. Clinton. Schumer. Durbin. Boxer. etc.
Each and every one of these shrill demagogues are now officially on the record. And out of the mainstream.
Can we please stop hearing from them now?
