Democrats say the 10 judges -- seven of whom Bush has renominated -- are so conservative they lie outside the political mainstream. Democrats have every right, they say, to employ the filibuster, an unlimited debate that can be stopped with 60 votes in the 100-member Senate. Republicans hold 55 seats.

__________

"Conservative" is not the right word to use for these ideologically rigid, corporate toadies. They do not deserve to be called conservatives, for there is very little about them that could be called conservative--something these judges share with today's Delay Republican clones.

I would say "way outside the mainstrain", but "conservative," absolutely not.

1. Kudos to Reid! Calls Dubya's "conservative" judicial nominees "radical!"

"Radical" is good, too--much more accurate description of these folks than "conservative."

Bush Goes Back on Word and Encourages Irresponsible Abuse of Power

Friday, April 22, 2005

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released this statement in response to the vice president’s comments on the nuclear option earlier today.

“In the span of three minutes, the vice president managed to reinvent 200 years of Senate history and ignore the fact that Congress has already approved 205 of this administration’s nominees. Apparently, a 95 percent confirmation rate is not enough for this president. He wants it all, even if it means shattering the checks and balances in our government in order to put radical judges on the bench.

“Last week, I met with the president and was encouraged when he told me he would not become involved in Republican efforts to break the Senate rules. Now, it appears he was not being honest, and that the White House is encouraging this raw abuse of power.

“It is disturbing that Republicans have so little respect for the separation of powers established by our founding fathers. Based on his comments last week, I had hoped that the president was prepared to join Democrats in taking up the work of the American people, but it is clear this is no longer the case. If the White House and Congress insists on proceeding down this road, Democrats will do all we can to ensure that Congress pursues an agenda the American people can be proud of.”

2. Yes. Do not use the word "conservative" when speaking about these freaks.

They are not conservative so don't lie about them in order to be "PC".

3. I think the left overuses the word "corporate" as a pejorative

a lot of people, including Democrats, work for corporations and might not be inclined to see the word as a negative.

"Radical" is a much better choice.
