E.J. Dionne: "Not One More Roberts or Alito"

E.J. Dionne, metrosexual columnist for The Washington comPost, throws a temper tantrum over the President's Supreme Court appointments in response to the Court's recent decisions:

Just say no.

The Senate's Democratic majority -- joined by all Republicans who purport to be moderate -- must tell President Bush that this will be their answer to any controversial nominee to the Supreme Court or the appellate courts.

The Senate should refuse even to hold hearings on Bush's next Supreme Court choice, should a vacancy occur, unless the president reaches agreement with the Senate majority on a mutually acceptable list of nominees.

***
As for the Supreme Court, we now know that the president's two nominees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, are exactly what many of us thought they were: activist conservatives intent on leading a judicial counterrevolution. Yesterday's 5 to 4 ruling tossing out two school desegregation plans was another milestone on the court's march to the right.

***
Especially troubling was the opinion offered by Roberts and Alito this week eviscerating the rather modest restrictions on sham "issue" ads in the McCain-Feingold law. The provision, which applies for 30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election, is aimed at preventing large amounts of corporate and union money from getting around campaign finance restrictions.

My Comments:
Waaaaaaaaaah! Somebody call a waaaaaaaaahmulance.

When crybaby leftists like E.J. Dionne get their panties in a twist over a Supreme Court ruling, you can count on 2 things:

(1) the ruling was correct, and
(2) I'm probably smiling.


UPDATE
Here's some more crying from the comPost. Sniff.
