Filibuster bluster Kerry's reasoning goes like this: "Judge Alito's confirmation would be an ideological coup on the Supreme Court." Coup? Perhaps he used the word metaphorically, but it still reeks of dishonesty and sour grapes. The word "coup" implies that it's being done unlawfully and/or by force. It's a word that is still used to this day by those Bush-haters who have yet to get over the 2000 presidential election. Sad, that level of rancor and self-delusion. Kerry continued: "We can't afford to see the court's swing vote, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, replaced with a far-right ideologue like Samuel Alito." Then maybe Kerry should call for a Constitutional amendment that would codify an evenly divided court with one swing-voter to boot. Can't these guys ever just get over it? Even Dick "Guantanamo is a gulag" Durbin sees the futility of it: "One of the first responsibilities of someone in Congress is to learn how to count. Having made a count, I have come to the conclusion it is highly unlikely that a filibuster would succeed." At last! Dick Durbin makes logical sense! I guess diehards like Kerry and Kennedy just can't help themselves when they see the Supreme Court being reined in from its 40-year-long orgy of forced, unlegislated liberalism. The thought of 12-year-olds having to notify their parents before getting abortions, or Christmas carols being sung in public school pageants, or plaques of the Ten Commandments not being removed from every last courthouse in the land must be almost too much to bear for those liberal lions.
