Has Pryor opposed liberal activists being confirmed for the court?

[TheBigB]

He added, without prompting, that he did not support a filibuster against Alito because “one is not warranted.”

Like I said, the votes for a filibuster aren't there. They might get about 30 if they really tried.

[iPod Shuffle]

Just remember all those "social conservatives" who helped put this guy into office.

[Blood of Tyrants]

As if Ginsberg (who has openly expressed support of abortion on demand many times) would be expected to be fair and impartial on any Roe v. Wade trial. If I were the attorney representing a pro-life trial in the Supreme Court, the first thing I would do is gather my ammo and then ask Ginsberg to recuse herself.

[OKIEDOC]

Just absolutely aghast at the reasons these liberals are using.

However, the real reason is the pressure from the New York Slimes.

[EagleUSA]

“Can he be fair and impartial if he’s on the United States Supreme Court? And would he be an activist, would he legislate from the bench, would he come with an agenda? I spent a lot of time looking at that. I must say when it comes to the question of whether Samuel Alito will be fair and impartial, I have doubts, I have reservations.” So he said, while it was a close call, he would vote no.

---

Talk about hypocrisy? Yes, he would be an ACTIVIST -- and activist for SUPPORTING THE LAW, SUPPORTING THE CONSTITUTION AND NOT LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH. That is my kind of ACTIVIST. And again, Alito just may be one of those REPUBLICAN ACTIVISTS who obeys the law -- just too dangerous for America!!!!

This Pryor guy is becoming more of a creep as time goes on. The monument thing was bad enough...

[jazusamo]

Looks like senators have a new reason to vote against a nominee, the nominee "might" do something in the future that they "may" not agree with.

[piytar]

He's already planning on apologizing. That means he knows his vote is wrong, but he's doing it for political reasons.

It's all about killing the (unwanted) children.

Are Arkansans proud to elect such murderers?

[NapkinUser]

57% of people in Arkansas support Alito yet both their senators are voting no. These two partisan hacks need to be "Daschled" in this conservative state.

[Wasanother]

Down to 55 to 45 final vote. The Republican National Committee needs to cut funding for all these RINOs. There is no reason Pryor should vote against Alito and no excuse for him not to do so.

[gsrinok]

Reactions: Family Council says it's a mystery. Republican Party says it's "disappointing" to have Pryor and Lincoln "cater to Ted Kennedy."

Why is Kennedy allowed to have such power in the Senate? It's sad that a man of such low moral character can hold sway over anyone?

[TravisBickle]

What he said:But I'm concerned that over time he might chip away at those checks and balances and allow the exeuctive power to expand until it's supreme over the other branches

What it really means when run backwards from the Language Liberalizer: Since we're in the minority, we can no longer legislate our evil ways. And we have no hope of winning back the White House anytime soon. The Judiciary is our last hope to keep our extreme agenda alive.

[50sDad]

But there’s a third criterion, he said. “Can he be fair and impartial if he’s on the United States Supreme Court?"

Like this impartiality was a big concern back when thier candidates came on the court. I head today that, mathmatically, their judges were confirmed with 1/2 the questions that they have used to block Alito (excuse me, I meant "they have used to completely interview Alito.")

[Clint N. Suhks]

What a JERK!

[buck61]

To Democrats fair is when you agree 100% with their ideas.
I doubt Judge Alito will harbor ill feelings when he becomes a supreme judge but, if it were me I would remember every one of these rats for the rest of my life. I would kill every democrat case that came before me weather it was right or wrong. Thats why i'm not a judge and he is.

[rwa265]

I'm confused. Isn't that third criterion Pryor is talking about part of proper judicial temperament?

[Texas Songwriter]

I had hopes that Pryor was a 'different kind' of democrat. I was wrong. Dance, Postman, dance/.

[Zack Nguyen]

When is Pryor up for re-election? Can the RNC run ads in Arkansas (a firmly red state) linking Mark Pryor to the radical leftist extremism of Ted Kennedy?
