RE: Here comes the Judge – Some comments on your column about the inequities of elections, particularly when “they”, those serpents, elect people who vote for “activist right-wing judges”. If only “they” would listen to Guru Goldstein.

My dear Professor,

“For 20 years, they [the Democrats] have let Republicans
pack the federal courts at all levels with
activist right-wing fanatics.”

One of the blessings of being a card carrying modern American Liberal, yea, verily a fire breathing volcano of Jeremiads, a condition that permits, indeed encourages the cognitive dissonance required to juggle flexible facts, the result of which always makes truth a casualty, is that you can say the above flapdoodle claptrap hoping and believing that there is no one in your audience who “remembers”.

It is 2011. 20 years ago was 1991.

How many “activist right-wing fanatics” did Bib Bill Clinton “pack” the federal courts with?

“Fairness”, one of those mAL objectives that is best compared to the horizon [no matter how fast you run you will never get there], demands that I tell you that I led a demonstration in 1999 in front of the White House. Wearing my “Vast Right-Wing Conspirator” cap, holding my newly born granddaughter in one arm, I shook my fist and shouted “Come out with your hands up, you son of a bitch, we have the place surrounded”.

Perhaps one of us was kidnapped and held hostage the past two years by the Florida branch of the Somali Pirates. How many “right-wing fanatics” has Lord Barack the Beneficent nominated to any federal court?

Are you telling me that Justice Sotomayor, a self described “wise Latina”, is a “right-wing fanatic”? Are you telling me that she and Justice Kagan worship at the shrine of Darth Cheney or, worse, his evil twin Vlad Cheney?

Do these ladies carry bazookas in their fanny packs? Are they underground members of the Federalist Society? Do they have a secret dance routine in honor of the right to bear arms? Do they have the Rule of Law tattooed where the sun never reaches?

Your call to block judicial appointments through filibuster is yet more proof of the lunacy of the thought processes demanded of mush brained mALs. This President will nominate Judge Roy Bean or Judge Dredd before he nominates a “right-wing fanatic”.

Speaking of filibusters, we have a pop quiz.

What 3 things did Senator Byrd and Justice Black have in common?

#1- They were both champions of the filibuster.
#2 – They were both members of the KuKluxKlan.
#3 – They were both Democrats.

I am positive that Justice Breyer, AKA “right-wing fanatic”, will be overjoyed when he learns that you have “outed” him a staunch supporter of the 9th and 10th Amendments. How did Big Bill slip him past Hillary, the head Hecate?

It is always an inconvenient truth but facts are hard, stubborn things. Permit me to call the roll of “activist right-wing judges”, people who because their asses are wrapped in black, people who have a gavel large enough to command the leaves to stay on the trees, who were Republican nominees.

Chief Justice Warren, Justice Brennan, Justice Blackmun, Justice Stevens, Justice O’Conner, Justice Kennedy, and Justice Souter.

It is easy to camouflage those nasty “activist right-wing judges”.

Did I miss anyone?

Have someone check your meds. The “white rabbits” are winning.
