"I knew you'd say that" |
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) told far left wing MSNBC (Morons Spouting Nothing But Communism) that the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia would have wanted his replacement installed on the bench immediately, if not sooner. And although Leahy didn't actually say it, he thinks Scalia would want that replacement to be a die hard liberal who thinks exactly like Leahy.
Many folks don't know this, but before Pat Leahy became a liberal senator, he used to be an Irish gypsy. Traveling from Vermont town to Vermont town in his beer can-shaped wagon, he would read palms, do Tarot card interpretations, and juggle empty bottles of maple syrup.
When he became a senator, he never lost his magic ability to charm folks with his baffling balderdash and quick wit.
Even as Antonin Scalia awaits his interment, Leahy speaks for him.
Had the political shoe been on the other foot, and had it been, say, a far left wing justice who left the Supreme Court empty of his or her presence, I strongly believe Leahy, just like Chuck Schumer, would have implored us to wait for the new president to be in office before nominating a new justice.
After all, Obama has less than a year left of his term, while G.W. Bush had 18 months left, when Schumer said he should wait until the country elects the next president so that the nation's will is honored.
But let us not kid ourselves--there is hypocrisy on both sides.
Perhaps the best solution to having a bias-leaning Supreme Court is term limits. The FBI has a ten year term limit for the Director's position and it seems to be working.
Rest in peace, Justice Scalia.
