Here Come Da Judge-Roberts Wows With a Simple Truth

The Senators have bloviated. The special interest groups have had their speak. Next Thursday, 9/22/05, they will vote.

I watched all the Senators, the wretched refuse of our teeming shores. They were supposed to be conducting a job interview.

Any fool with a mother would not conduct a job interview in such a manner.

Beginning with, Job Interviews 101, “let the applicant do all the talking”.

Which the bloviating Senators did not.

For many of the vaunted 100, the occasion was but a chance to smile inappropriately, read the talking points of the interest groups and contributors, or launch into a long and tired tirade about subjects not germane.

Not all of the Senators obfuscated and preened. Two I would give notable praise. Orrin Hatch asked two of the most piercing questions of the day.

Planned Parenthood, now a huge organization into abortion so deep that they cannot see it cease for loss of jobs, was one special interest group to present their views to John Roberts.

I must wonder what sort of life it must be to spend endless days and dollars going after the abortion buck and the twisting of conscience required to be in a position of actively promoting the practice.

Planned Parenthood has a nice sounding name but they run abortion mills and that’s a fact. Americans will not tolerate the sight bite of a woman put in jail for having an abortion. Or will they ever accept that a 12 year old girl should be forced to have a baby fathered by a rapist or incest.

Abortion should be rare, so they all declare. Yet Planned Parenthood, well they don’t want it rare. Rare abortions cost some big yahoos to lose their jobs. Not to mention all the federal funds.

It was Orrin Hatch, the Senator from Utah that I consider a bit of a milquetoast, who pointed out to the abortion special interest groups that they were the ones that screeched that Justice Souter would overturn Roe vs. Wade. Justice Souter, snort, is the most liberal judge in that bastion of Darth Vader known as the Supreme Court.

Hatch also asked, insert another snort here, a special interest representative from the National Organization of Women Who Have Never Represented This Woman and Never Will, if they have EVER endorsed a Republican Supreme Court nominee.

“No, we have not …,” the representative responded, insert lots of snorts here because that pretty much says it all.

Arlen Spector, looking oddly like a plucked chicken may God forgive me and bless the man with recovery from cancer, also did a fine and fair job during the hearings.
