Senate Confirms Justice Brown to 2nd Highest Court in the Nation.

That's good news. But let's check out some excerpts*:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said before the vote, "We should reject all nominees who twist the law to their own ideological bent. That's why I'm initiating legislation to impeach Justiced Ginsburg, Souter, Breyer, and Stevens. Otherwise, I might just be dismissed as a hypocritical fool after making such strong and self-serving comments against George Bush's nominees."

"Just as it would be cynical and offensive that Judge Rogers Brown be vilified simply for being a black conservative, it's equally offensive and cynical to suggest that somehow she should get a pass for her outlandish views simply because she's a black woman," Obama said. "Nevertheless, we Democrats will continue to do exactly that. There's nothing more extreme or "out of the mainstream" than being against our interpretation of the US Constitution as a document whose words mean nothing unless interpreted as a right to homosexual marriage and abortion. And there's nothing worse than a black person thinking for himself or herself not echoing the Democrat Party line. Since we can't invent a bogus sexual harassment charge against a woman like we did against Clarence Thomas, vicious slurs and attacks without basis are the only techniques left to us."
