NY Times "Journalistic" Advocacy

The NY Times wrote an op-ed piece titled "President and justices".

It makes a brief case for Obama and against McCain on the issue of the Judiciary.

"The results could be particularly dramatic under Mr. McCain, who is likely to complete President Bush's campaign to make the court an aggressive right-wing force." Funny how these hacks don't mention that McCain was basically the leader of the "Gang of 14". Seven moderate Senators of both parties to stop the elimination of the filibuster for lower court nominees the democrats refused to allow a vote on. And may I add, how is this court which is as dead on 50-50 as a 9 member court could ever be - "an aggressive right-wing force".

They go on to say "Mr. Obama seems likely to pick moderate justices." Are you kidding me! This is the guy that supported infanticide and loves going along with overreaching activists courts spewing out toxic pools of dictatorial liberalism. He doesn't want the American people to vote on controversial issues. It is much more safe for his ideology to have judges strike down the will of the people he disagrees with. Liberal's with law degrees have made a mockery of the 14th Amendment in the last 50 years. There is no doubt in my mind that Obama would nominate life long, rock-ribbed justices like President Clinton's appointees (Breyer and Ginsberg).

The ailing newspaper was either brain dead or gutsy when they called Anthony Kennedy a "moderate conservative". Come on, he is a down the middle moderate. The Times view of what is the norm is warped if you can't see that eight of the nine justices have a Judicial philosophy they tend to stick to while the remaining justice (Kennedy) is moderate.
