Well, I'm planning to finish my "series" on the Manifesto either this weekend or next week... We'll see. Other than that, I don't really have any long term plans for posting. Anybody got any ideas? :)
For news, Samuel Alito, President Bush's latest appointed judge to the SC, was confirmed today as the USA's 110th Supreme Court Judge! Yes!! I actually didn't have many doubts that his confirmation wouldn't go through... But it's great to have it all over anyway! I believe the Senate vote was 58-42 in his favor (obviously).
Can anyone actually believe that Kerry, in all his idiocy, still tried to fillibuster Alito's confirmation? His reason? Here it is in his own words:
"[A fillibuster] is the only way we can stop a confirmation that we feel certain will cause irreversible damage to our country."
He also gave "reasons" for his proposed fillibuster:
"[Bush has] nominated a man who consistently defers to the government action regardless of how egregious it may be; a man who erects rather than breaks down barriers in the area of civil rights, a man who, to this day, has never retreated from his declaration that the Constitution does not protect a woman's right to privacy, a man who has demonstrated a persistent insensitivity to the history of racial discrimination in this country and, was even, at the government’s request, willing to ignore overwhelming evidence that African Americans were intentionally stricken from an all-white jury in a black defendant’s capital case."
Gag me with a fork, people! The dems last stronghold in the government was the court system, and that's why they are trying desperately hard to fillibuster every person Bush nominates.
Okay, I won't even get started...:)
"We love our freedom and we will fight to keep it!" I'm watching to Bush's State of the Union Address right now and boy is it awesome! He's sticking completely to his plan to stay in Iraq until we've achieved total victory. What a great president we've got!
