DeLay is the wrong vehicle to pose a reasoned critique of judicial overreach. He lacks the depth and credibility. He lacks "nuance." He overstates, and gets out on a limb, that is subject to being cut off.

Sorry, red meat is on the menu today. Circumspection and taking the long view...maybe tomorrow ;)

I don't want any NUANCED reps...."nuance" gets you a flip-flopping traitor like J F'n Ketchup-Boy who has no core beliefs and will wilt with each passing wind.

He lacks "nuance."

As opposed to, say, John Kerrey? Screw "nuance".

[oceanview]

true perhaps. but where are the other voices in the republican and white house political apparatus that will say even a modestly unflattering word about the judiciary? how are you supposed to explain to americans why the fillibuster against our judges should be stopped, if you can't point out what is wrong with the judiciary right now?

you can't, someone has to say something. I tell you, if we walk into this senate rules fight and don't explain why it needs to be done, what the Dems are really up to in blocking these judges, we are going to get hurt.

"DeLay is the wrong vehicle to pose a reasoned critique of judicial overreach. He lacks the depth and credibility. He lacks "nuance." He overstates, and gets out on a limb, that is subject to being cut off."

Just exactly what sort of "vehicle" do you propose? A moderate noble protecting his own special middle of the road?????

"He lacks the depth and credibility. He lacks "nuance."

Tom Delay's depth and credibility can be easily affirmed in his many successes in the House of Representatives. "Nuance" is simply not part of the vocabulary of a leader. "Nuance" is reserved for Liberals who hide behind their lack of leadership by claiming they're "Tolerant"
