Pat Leahy has now said he's gonna allow French Fries on the Bench. I am disappointed beyond belief at this. I have always liked and admired Pat Leahy as being a pricipled, progressive, smart guy. Truly a leader in the Senate. But Pat Leahy just got his ass rolled by the 1600 Crew. Big Time.
he senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday he will vote to confirm John Roberts for chief justice of the United States after leading senators met with President Bush to discuss candidates for a second high court vacancy.
...
Leahy, D-Vt., said he still has some concerns about Roberts.
"But in my judgment, in my experience, but especially in my conscience I find it is better to vote yes than no," he said.
"Judge Roberts is a man of integrity. I can only take him at his word that he does not have an ideological agenda."
Well Pat, why are you allowing the 1600 Crew and Justice French Fry to be seated on the High Court when they did not comply with the Constitutional Requirements of allowing the Senate to perform its role of Advice and Consent? Why are you not voting "NO" when they were not forthcoming with unreleased papers from French Fry's tenure at the Solicitor General's office? You my friend have been rolled. If Preznit Perpetual Liar called you over for Bagels and Coffee at the White House and promised you he'd respect your input for the next appointment, you're sadly mistaken. When you left he and Karl were probably doing a high-five slapping happy dance in the Oval Office.
In fact, there's probably a picture of you up on Karls bulletin board with the caption:
PUNK'D
All your previous good deeds: For Naught. Thanks for the Legacy. Thanks for Nothing.
