Pure political theatre

Ted Kennedy, the king of grandstanding, second only to Joe Biden, is confused. He, like Hillary Clinton, thinks that the role of a Supreme Court Judge is to advance liberal causes. He said this about Judge Alito..."he failed to demonstrate a commitment to the continued march of progress." You begin to wonder what the senior balloon from Massachusetts, as talk show host Laura Ingraham calls him, was thinking. That statement is devoid of content. It sounds good, it means nothing. Here's another quote suggesting that Judge Alito will somehow overturn equal opportunity laws... "If you care about the equal opportunity for employment for women. It's not going to be Judge Alito" The quote sounds a bit awkward, but you get the gist of what he's saying. Senator Kennedy is under the false impression that he can say anything and we will swallow it hook line and sinker. Does he think that the American people are so ignorant as to believe the Judge Alito can just magically start changing the laws just because he dons a robe? I think we at least need some cases to rule on before something is declared unconstitutional and therefore illegal. The confirmation hearings for Judge Alito did a wonderful thing, it exposed just how woefully ignorant Democrats like Ted Kennedy really are.
