The Anchoress
You know, after all the madness, and Ted Kennedy’s overdramatic rhetoric, I think this man is going to sit and be a sterling justice. And THEN what are the Democrats going to do?
It’s kind of like when Benedict XVI was elevated to the papacy, and all the chattering “progressives” were weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth and predicting doom, gloom, fascist crackdowns within the church, etc. Now, Benedict has shown himself to be beautifully pastoral, gentle, loving and shy – and all of the critics look precisely like the dramaqueen adolescents they were and are. I believe they’ve done it again – and much more vividly – with Sam Alito.
The Democrats have just shown the country that their partisanship is so out of control that they are unable to govern, at all, because they cannot put it aside for a moment.
A superbly qualified man was almost not seated because they could not put partisanship ahead of statesmanship and even professionalism. That Ruth Bader Ginsberg could be seated unanimously while Alito almost didn’t get seated at all, is simply a disgrace.
I’m glad Alito is confirmed. I hope the perpetual adolescents who – as my Dem neighbor pointed out a few weeks ago – seem to have forgotten why they were elected; it wasn’t simply to obstruct the president – start to grow up.
I think Ed Morrissey has a terrific analysis of the vote and the state of the Democrat party right now. And I love Alexandra’s graphic and round up. She’s really on top of things.
Michelle Malkin has a nice list of stories leading up to this day Ankle Biting Pundits is praising Kos. You’ll have to go read why.
