Quote du jour

Let’s talk about the Supreme Court for a quick sec. President Obama has another pick coming up. If I were able to question him, I might ask something like, “When you were in the Senate, you voted against both John Roberts and Samuel Alito. You said they were qualified in traditional ways, but they were conservative — therefore, in your eyes, they were unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. By your standard, should Republican senators vote against your nominees because they’re liberal?”

I’d also like to ask, “Would you please explain where Sonia Sotomayor is qualified to serve on the Supreme Court but Roberts and Alito are not?”
