The news story:
“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second Supreme Court justice nominated by President George W. Bush. “But we’re stuck with those two young men, and we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on — I think that will happen.”
Why should Reid make such a wickedly false statement? Could be one of two reasons:
1. Reid is setting up a situation where Obama nominees will be excused from tough questioning on their judicial philosophy.
2. Reid is setting up either the eventual impeachment of Roberts and/or setting up a bid to put term limits on Supreme Court Justices.
The former is more likely than the latter, but we can’t ignore the prospect of Obama and his Democrats attempting to entirely re-cast the Supreme Court. The four liberal Justices are likely to retire, and no problem – Obama will appoint people even more ignorant in their leftist fanaticism than the current four liberals. But how to get around those four young conservative Justices? Rather difficult – each of them is almost certain to outlast an Obama Administration, even if Obama is re-elected. So, lay the ground work to force the conservatives out at some point.
As I said, it is more likely that Reid is just preparing the ground for kook leftist Obama nominees to skate by without any intense questions – all of a sudden, intense Senatorial scrutiny will not be needed, ya know? But we must be on our guard as the people who lead our nation are people who are entirely unaware of what liberty actually is, and thus they will violate law and precedent with complete indifference.
