The return of the liberal litmus test. Oh, I suppose it never went away. But that is a pretty bald statement by Feinstein. I wonder what other positions are Verboten to the Communists.

Liberals have always had the abortion litmus test. It's just no one, especially the lamestream media, says anything about it, because in their "minds" it is a "proper" litmus test. They only hammer Republicans/conservatives if they are even thought to hold to any notion of a litmus test (such as strict interpretation of the Constitution). IOW, for the lefties, a litmus test on being pro-abortion is good and proper, but if there is even a hint of a litmus test for a conservative nominee, that person is automatically disqualified.

Remember how for the Breyer and Ginsberg hearings, the 'Rats right off the bat laid down the rules: no talk of "litmus tests" for those nominees, because they knew they were pro-abortion. As soon as Bush started making nominations, the pro-abortion litmus test was revived, with a vengeance.

I hope these 'Rats get nuked this time. It's time to put an end to this judicial filibuster crap. It is the President's duty and Constitutional authority to make appointments to the judiciary. It is the Senate's duty and authority to advise and consent, and that means vote, not filibuster.

I wonder what other positions are Verboten to the Communists?

Any discussion of the intent of the commerce clause.
