A gold star for senator Mitch McConnell for these statements. He provides an honest history of the nomination process since the 70s, examines past and present objections to Supreme Court nominees based on ”fitness” and ideology, and then takes a stand on Sotomayor. I think he gets it right.
Though, as we all know, she will be confirmed anyway.
This Eric O’Keefe blog/op-ed is for my Michigan readers (of whom there are a few). It’s also worthy of note for anyone concerned with combatting massive tax hikes, the freedom of citizens in recall processes/petitions, and blatant media bias.
The Free Press’s position is passing strange considering it’s been 25 years since the last legislative recall in Michigan. And I agree with O’Keefe’s closing:
The Free Press is good at covering the Tigers and Red Wings. It should stick to covering sports, the weather, and the continuing decline of Michigan’s over-taxed economy.
