This afternoon, in the hearings, Sen Kyl of AZ offered this tidbit of refutation. Turns out that a liberal think tank judicial watch group studied the opinions of federal appeals judges and found that, on average, fed judges ruled in favor of the plantiffs on ADA issues about 13% of the time.

Alito’s score?

22% –he’s above average and that stat destroys the credibility of your and NAD’s position of opposition. You’re going to have to retreat to the position that LeftLibs in general don’t support him and you need to keep your membership card in the radical Left active in order to sit at their table.

22% bucko. And that’s understanding the dynamic of the federal appeals process which places a higher likelihood of failure on the part of a disabled interests bringing forth appeals of mostly summary judgments on behalf of the defendants.

O’Reilley – Letterman redux, anyone?

And as for Chucky Schlemiel and Teddy “Waittress Sandwich” Kennedy, they should be censured for lowering the standards of the Senate. I don’t think you’d have any trouble finding 51 votes for that measure.

I don’t see how merely thinking that the ADA is unconstitutional is worthy of your level of outrage. Any law passed by Congress is subject to the constitution no matter how noble its intention is.

I did take a look at the NAD website. The most I could find about Judge Alito is that NAD attorneys “are not certain that Alito will uphold laws that protect individuals’ rights to participate in society”. Going back to GPW’s point in #16, can you please offer something more specific on which I can base an opinion.

Also, I would like to know your thoughts on the recent unanimous decision by the newly headed Roberts court finding in favor of a disabled Georgia inmate suing under ADA.

Are you aware that this so-called “good man” Samuel Alito will do well for y’all? National Association of the Deaf expressed its concerns on its website about Samuel Alito’s views on Americans with Disabilities Act.

The ADA is an unconstitutional intrusion.

Of course, you support him doing that and praise it as “sincere and caring” when you’ve blown blood vessels over Republicans doing the same thing.

Are you an HRC Executive Board member?

If you’ve caught any of the hearings –live, not soundbites from the MSM– you’d know that even Kennedy has had trouble keeping a str8 face with his questioning of Alito… and couldn’t make a coherent, rational point even with it printed in big bold print before his bloodshot, leacherous, eyes. Imagine Kennedy lecturing anyone on the law? Good God, that’s hubris which tempts God’s fury, fate’s hand or a realignment of the universe.

No, JRC. ChuckieBoiFromNY ain’t a “great Senator” –he isn’t even a mediocre 3rd rate Senator. He’s a press pandering jerk, oppositional just for partisan sake, and he’d sell this country short if it helped him make political hay. In fact, like his political allies on the Left, he has repeatedly endangered our national security, our common political will and hazzard the US to attacks from abroad and within –while feeding at the federal trough post-9/11.

Great senator: what a hoot. Thanks!

I hope you all are as SMUG when yours

Moonbat alert!

I wonder if George Voinovich will cry like a pussy again.

Let the silly Senators from the whacked out Left snip soundbites from their ether, purse their lips in disdain, discredit the judge’s responses to their questions by wagging their heads and tongues; it matters not.

The Court is marching toward the Right –just not fast enough.

The political view represented by Schumer, Kennedy, Biden, and others continue on in the minority –and will after 2006. Besides, their smears and distortions are nothing new to our country… their idol, Thos Jefferson, was a lying, deceit-filled, conniving, spurious rumor monger, hypocrite extraordinaire and gross political manipulator from the get-go. Why should we expect anything different from Jefferson’s political progeny in today’s Left?

That’s an understatement, Ginsburg’s legal philosophy included making prisons co-ed, lowering the age of consent to 12, legalizing prostitution, and abolishing Mother’s Day. She also supports forcing businesses to adopt race-based quotas in their hiring practices… although she practiced law for more than 20 years in a city with a majority African-American population without ever hiring a single minority to work in her own office; typical left-wing hypocrite.

Why should we base our decision on a hypothetical?
