Filibuster or filibust! Those Mixed up Senators from MA.
John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are back in the news again. Both of the left-wing boys from Massachusetts are calling to filibuster the vote to approve Judge Samuel Alito. Kerry stated that, "Judge Alito's confirmation would be an ideological coup on the Supreme Court." Ted Kennedy agrees with Kerry assumption by saying that, "Judge Alito does not share the values of equality and justice that makes this country strong."
It's obvious that the only reason that these two men don't support Judge Alito is because they are liberals. John Kerry is worried about his image and doesn't support Alito because he is probably going to run for president in 2008. Ted Kennedy has also been quite outspoken during the confirmation hearings, where Senator Arlen Spector told him to settle down. I think both Kerry and Kennedy should just be quiet and stop playing the partisan politics game like Sen. Robert Byrd, who talked about partisan politics by saying he is going to "toe the party line when it comes to Supreme Court justices." Alito also has a great background and would be perfect for the job. Alito attended Yale law school and wrote for the paper there. Samuel Alito also served for 15 years at the US Department of Justice. Alito also served as a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals for 15 years. Alito does not have a political bias and rules based on existing laws and facts. Alito is more than qualified to be on the Supreme Court but the liberals do not support him because George Bush nominated him. The liberals make outrageous claims that can't be supported by facts. It is time to stop playing the "he isn't in my political party" card and start acting on gut feeling. Kerry and Kennedy only didn't support Alito because they would lose their liberal fan base.
