GOP ready to claim racism in judicial appointments
The Weakly Standard is ready to lead the charge we all knew was coming-- Democrats won't appoint Bush's extremist judicial nominees because we're evil racists.
From the article:
"When George W. Bush became president in 2001, the legal left and the Democratic party rallied around the slogan "No more Clarence Thomases." By that they meant that they would not allow any more conservative African Americans, Hispanics, women, or Catholics to be groomed for nomination to the High Court with court of appeals appointments. The Democrats have done such a good job of this that, today, the only names being floated as serious Supreme Court nominees are those of white men."
The Democrats are the party of white men? As absurd as this charge is, get ready to hear it ad nauseum in the mainstream media. With the news of the day being "he-said-she said" reportage, you won't be hearing anyone pointing out the blatant untruth of the charge. Sigh.
