Thanks to Powerline who helped get the word out on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's
commentary on the Alito nomination - the 'minus' he is because he's not a woman, as Sandra Day O'Connor expressed her replacement would be, but even more, the shocking statement that Justice Clarence Thomas needs an * by his name because he doesn't represent black Americans. Here's the exact quote in case you missed it:
In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.
The paper tried to offer an explanation that they were only referring to the fact that he was the only African-American on the bench. Hogwash! I'm not buying it!
By the way, here's a quote that needs to be brought out by O'Connor, just for the record...
"It is difficult to discern a serious threat to religious liberty from a room of silent, thoughtful schoolchildren."
- Sandra Day O'Connor
More Hogwash! Give me a break.
The show today with William Federer on the history of the Supreme Court is interesting as always. He has a way of taking history and bringing it to (common sense) life. Latest book is Judicial Tyranny, a compilation of authors on the subject. You can still hear it online - see link below.
Hear the show (See 11/7/05)
