Democrats attack Rush, Palin, Steele, and now a Supreme Court Justice. This is a political disgrace by Harry Reid
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Friday that Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. lied to Congress during his confirmation hearings by pretending to be open-minded about his judicial philosophy.
…”We’re stuck with those two young men,” Mr. Reid said, though he added that Democrats hope to try to balance out the judiciary overall by “having some moderates in the federal court system as time goes on.”
…Former Sen. Fred Thompson, a Tennessee Republican who shepherded the chief justice’s nomination through the Senate, said Mr. Reid’s charge was off base.
“Senator Reid has compiled quite a catalog of mean and irrational statements about various people,” Mr. Thompson said.
“The chief justice was very forthright in explaining that he would not tell the senators how he was going to vote but that he would follow the law and the intent of the framers. He’s done exactly that, and that, of course, is anathema to Harry Reid.”
