The terrifying Democrat(ic) future

I never like to link to right-wing sites, but this horrifying future of a Democratically held America is just too good to pass up. You expect dim-witted propaganda from the RNC, and I suppose the Republican faithful banking on the ignorance of their base isn't new, either (think Rush Limbaugh).

But here's a glimpse into that horrifying future from the RNC's ersatz newspaper: the 'ruling' Congressional party blocking Bush's chosen appointee for the Supreme Court-- without even giving her a congressional hearing!

The then-86-year-old Stevens announced his retirement shortly after the 2006 elections, in which Democrats won both the House and the Senate. He officially left the Court on January 1, 2007. The President’s first nominee to replace him never was granted a committee hearing, and withdrew her name from consideration. A month later, his second nominee was given a hearing, and voted down in committee by a unanimous Democrat majority.

Since then, there has been a deadlock. The President will not budge. He continues to insist that nominating a justice is his prerogative, and the role of the Senate is in the confirmation process. In addition, the President often repeats that he will insist on judges who, as he puts it, ‘interpret the law, not legislate from the bench.’

I honestly don't know what to think of people who read this and think "Damn Democrats!" instead of "Harriet Miers." But I agree with the RNC on one thing-- the future will be a nightmare indeed if Democrats start acting like Republicans.
