[QUOTE="Information Please, post: 76422"] wkmac, I don't want to be put in the position of trying to defend Kennedy. I have a lot of gripes with him, but he's not my Senator, so my gripes are meaningless. In fact, most of the current crop of Dems are spineless weasels, which puts them a couple of steps above the Repubs, IMO. I take it that you would have every member of all three branches of the government adhere by a particular standard, yet to be determined? Pie in the sky, I say! I dare you to get rid of every politician in your state that called a Black man a n****r; see, it can't be done. Whether you agree with Kennedy or not, he was the only Senator that actually tried to make Alito answer tough questions. Alito dodged every question, IMO, and that alone should preclude him from a seat on the SCOTUS. It seem to be the way of the ruling party, that whenever anyone questions a choice that they make, they attack the messenger, rather than the message. It happened to McCain in Carolina, it happened to Gore, it happened to Kerry, and now Murtha is being attacked, never mind Kennedy, he's an easy target. I would hope, in my country, that an elected representative would attempt to bring the voice and concerns of his constituents into the record, regardless of their personal belief or background. This is what Kennedy did. If you wish to attack the man, attack him on his blocking of windmills off Cape Cod, not for asking tough questions of a potential Supreme Court Judge, who will shape our laws for generations. I stand by my statement that different rules should apply between elected officials and appointed for life judges. In the end, Alito will be confirmed, and Executive powers will increase. Heaven help us if Hillary gets elected! BTW---Try and file a FOIA request to see if you've been spied on illegally by the present administration. I think you'l find the results interesting. [/QUOTE]
