Bush Asks Falwell For Supreme Court Advice!

[really annoyed]

President George W. Bush has urged senators to ignore "the special interest groups, particularly those on the extreme" with regards to filling the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Maybe his own administration did not get that message. According to a report from today's New York Times, the Bush White House has reached out to one of the nation's most extreme voices - televangelist Jerry Falwell - for advice on the next high court justice. Falwell boasted to the newspaper, "Someone from the White House called me yesterday, asking for any input I might have."

Well, isn't that nice?

1. Maybe he should be asking

Harry Reid and some other people in the Senate - you know the people that will be voting on this. Of course I strongly suspect that he wants to raise a big fuss rather than try to get along.

2. Odd

I thought Senate was to be contacted for SC nominations and not some crazy fundie.

3. Well that's what the Supreme Council is for

oh wait this is the USA...

Wednesday, the Conservative Caucus endorsed former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Conservative Caucus Chairman Howard Phillips read the following statement:

My friends, this is a crucial moment in the history of the American republic. The character and the undaunted courage of one faithful man seated on the U.S. Supreme Court could bring about a turning point in our jurisprudence and in our culture, back to Biblical morality and forward to a restoration of the Constitutional design and system of liberty set forth by American's founding fathers.

I speak of that great patriot, that exemplary jurist, God's man for these times, the Honorable Roy Moore.

Roy Moore sacrificed his position as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court rather than submit to an unconstitutional demand by Federal judges to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building.

By Friday, petition signers in favor of Judge Moore had reportedly reached more than 120,000.

Also speaking at Wednesday's press conference was Alan Keyes, who said, "Above all, the appointment of Roy Moore would provide a genuine opportunity for the first debate before the whole American people over the critical question of judicial supremacy."
