Sorry, red meat is on the menu today. Circumspection and taking the long view...maybe tomorrow ;)Winners get red meat while losers get to take the long view and 40 years in the wilderness.

Yes, someone in Congress more qualified should be saying something, and giving full set piece speeches on the subject, carefully researched and reasoned. I am not sure who that might be. I'm not in Congress. :)

The "good" Injustice would say Westlaw or Lexis if that's what he meant. I get the uneasy sense that he's just Googling up stuff.

He should only talk about subjects he knows something about. You're right, of course, but I'm willing to cut DeLay some slack after the abuse he took from Soros' Olde Media on behalf of conservatism.

"These justices need to be impeached. I support Cong. DeLay"
Which Justices exactly? DeLay sounds like an idiot when he criticizes Kennedy. Yes Kennedy worte the decision in Roper v. Simmons. But frankly, whether juvenile offenders can be executed is a fairly marginal issue in the grand scheme of things.
Rather, look at Kennedy when he is dealing with issues of federalism. Kennedy has been a strong voice for states rights and rolling back federal government involvement. As a conservative and a lawyer, I can tell you that in big picture issues, Kennedy has done an excellent job. Don't lose the forest for the trees, people.

Votes in a democratic society shy away from nuance. The ultimate democrat leader will mask his nuance with low-brow jargon.

Look it's pretty simple, support people like DeLay who will fight or people like Dick LUGAR who lets Joe Biden run his committee or George Voinovich who listens to a bunch of allegations the Democrats throw at nominees and then won't support them.
To: cornelis
The amazing thing however is just how successful those few politicians that don't are, and how esteemed they are. Few of those are left now. I pine for the Moynihan model. I consider him one of the great Senators of the modern age.

"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?????

Sounds perfect. When such a person expresses concern about the politicization of the judiciary, of the nomination process, of the poisoning of the public square ensuing as a result, the rank cynicism, the damage done to the respect for the Constitution among the citizenry, and its value for protecting fundamental rights which are fundamental, because the document is so fluid and malleable, folks might be more reasonably be expected to be presuaded then when The Hammer goes off on a rant, tossing buzz words like "international law" and concepts around that he lacks the capacity to flesh out in a persuasive and creditable way.

(A friendly reminder that when another is being discuss they should be pinged.)
McCain the speech god and dirt worshiper, is a vehicle of lunacy.

is was a McCainiac, no doubt.
Although I gave the guy 200 bucks when he was running for the nomination for president, I got over that long ago. McCain is an undisplined and superficial man, self absorbed and hubristic, and impervious to his own rather considerable limitations, including a lack of awareness of his own ignorance. Bush has his own flaws, but none of the above. That is why he is much more suited to be president, and a safer choice for president.

Wow you can take a breathe...
We are not talking about brilliant minds at work here, I mean really now making sodomy a civil right, pretty much sewer level at this point.

We do, and I did. Thanx for the link.

"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"
