Justice Fudd reporting for duty

  • Dang — didn’t it seem like a quiet morn­ing? Bush announced last night that he was nom­i­nat­ing John Roberts to the Supreme Court posi­tion, and all the Democ­rats said, “.… . ” By which I infer they wanted to say, ” .…???”

    It’s almost as if Bush took me up on my grand idea and nom­i­nated Elmer Fudd just to shut them up. Well, most of them. Ted Kennedy didn’t shut up for long, because that wouldn’t be pos­si­ble. He’s been on the morn­ing shows say­ing that “the Amer­i­can peo­ple” are just dying to know “whose side John Roberts is on.” Trans­la­tion: Is he left-of-center, and if not, can he be com­pelled to act left-of-center. If not … well, “the Amer­i­can peo­ple” appar­ently won’t stand for it. Thanks, Ted — can the Amer­i­can peo­ple freshen up that drink for you?

    And the pro-abortion crowd didn’t shut up. They were at it while Ted was still putting on his foun­da­tion gar­ment this morn­ing. Oh no. It’s the end of every­thing. John Roberts is the enemy of all women everywhere.

    All based on what exactly. Roberts has said one time that Roe vs. Wade was a bad idea (or some­thing equally tame), which I’d think could be argued sim­ply from the point of it being such an egre­gious case of judi­cial activism.

    But go to it, abortion-crowd. I actu­ally think they won’t win any­body to their side, and they might turn a lot of peo­ple off. The fact is, the coun­try is so polit­i­cally divided now that there aren’t a lot of peo­ple left who change based on one cur­rent event or the other. Dur­ing elec­tions, every­body flips their lid won­der­ing what the Cen­trists are going to do, but isn’t it obvi­ous that the Cen­trists don’t want to do one thing more than they have to? They nearly put them­selves in a coma just try­ing to fig­ure out who to vote for every four years. Other than that, they sleep a lot, I think. They don’t like to be both­ered, and abor­tion both­ers them because it reminds them of some­thing that’s, y’know, yucky.

    So I say we let them sleep in. The Sen­ate should con­firm Roberts because there’s not really any good rea­son not to, and let’s all get back to com­plain­ing about some­thing more worthwhile.
