Senator George V. Voinovich, Jim Jeffords Redeaux Senator George V. Voinovich of Ohio reminded me of jumpin Jim Jeffords yesterday when he cold-cocked the John Bolton nomination.   As soon as I could get back to the keyboard he received my email below.    Send yours today.    How can you be proud of yourself for sinking, for now, the Bolton nomination?  We have our party, they have theirs.  What we need representing us in the U.N. is someone who won't kowtow to the worthless U.N. but will represent us and the president.  Someone like Bolton. If you can't support him and I on this then you might consider joining their party.  You haven't learned yet how to be a majority and work together to accomplish an agenda.  You haven't had the opportunity in over 40 years to show the country how great it can be, so why torpedo it now?  Yesterday in the committee room, you simply appeared to be Jim Jeffords all over again.  Doing anything to grab media attention and cause the plan to fail.  And I mean this in the kindest sense; get some balls or get out. 3:39:35 PM    comment [] trackback []

DeLay, You Go Guy Now it's DeLay slamming a supreme court justice.   You could call it a slam if you think like most liberals or are an ABC reporter.  I call it exposing, not slamming.   Most of the country is unaware of Kennedy's basing a recent decision not on the Constitution, which is the entirety of his scope of perview, but instead on a proposed law of a foreign government.  That's what DeLay was talking about, and that is a matter of court record and not a product of Carl Rove or Haliburton. The focus of this media giant's story is the shock that a justice was singled out for criticism 'Nevertheless, it is unusual for a congressional leader to single out a Supreme Court justice for criticism.'  That, and the fact that DeLay called Kennedy's ignoring the constitution as 'incredibly outrageous', and who could disagree?  And what's unusual about it anyway.  Why, I remember vividly Ted Kennedy calling Justice Clarance Thomas a neanderthal wanting to turn back the clock. The reporter made no attempt to examine what DeLay said, only that he was critical.  Exactly the same scenario when a memo was leaked from Sen. Rokefeller's office concerning the Senate Intelligence Committee's work.  The media zeroed in on how the memo got out, totally ignoring the content, which shows baldfaced politicising the work of a committee crucial  to our national defense.  They got a pass then just like Kennedy is getting a pass now. The Supremes may ONLY interpret the U.S. Constitution, using the U.S. Constitution.  Anything and everything else is irrelevant to their sole purpose.  Yes, Kennedy went, and is, way out-of- bounds and should be called on it.  It is the legislature that gives the courts whatever power and jurisdiction it has, or does not have.  DeLay has (to steal a liberal rant) not only the right but the responsibility to call to question the wanton disregard for the Constitution when perpetrated by any Supreme Court Justice.  But in this case, it is Anthony Kennedy.  Where Kennedy is concerned, the media takes a big 'oh-hum' and continues it's profile of DeLay. 12:39:43 AM    comment [] trackback []
