OK, but what if the following happens:
1) Kagan is sunk somehow
2) Obama nominates someone worse like Cass Sunstein
3) The Democrats ram it through during the lame duck session
Bad would be passed up for worse.
There is no-one “worse” , they vote alike. Are you advocating giving up the courts?
I'm getting really tired of this argument.
Bad is only getting worse each time we lose another appointment. This would not be passing up a Meir for a Roberts. This would be passing over evil for evil.
Because that's what this all is. They are all evil. We have to fight against every single one of them because every time we let one through... it's just more evil added to the evil we've already let in the gate. The only difference between any of them is that some may be able to pass themselves off as less evil... but they all come from the same source: pure evil that cannot be watered down.
The time is here. It is now. The only ones left to fight it are us. No one else is going to come riding to our rescue.
If this charge is true, Kagan is unethical. It would be better to have an ethical liberal than one who is not.
Someone like Cass Sunstein would not get approved. So I say yes try to out her if this charge is true, and there actually could be a “better” liberal nominated.
