It's Time for..."Who Said the Following?"
Yep, it's "Who Said the Following?" - that game show that points out how Downies and the scumbag liberals make comments one day, then make completely contradicting comments some time later, and then get mad when the earlier comments are dredged up and show their disgusting hypocrisy.
So, we ask: "Who said the following?"
Important quote, no? And could a Downie or liberal have said it?
Well, you bet your backside one did.
HEARING OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ON THE NOMINATION OF CLARENCE THOMAS TO THE SUPREME COURT
As we like to say: "Oops."
But, Tubalard Teddy, during the John Roberts confirmation hearings, made statements which completely contradict what he said in 1981, such as:
KENNEDY FLOOR STATEMENT ON JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
One could only hope that Tubalard Teddy would take his limo back to Chappaquiddick and drive himself back into that pond and stay there.

So, we ask: "Who said the following?"
"It is offensive to suggest that a potential justice of the Supreme Court must pass some presumed test of judicial philosophy. It is even more offensive to suggest that a potential justice must pass the litmus test of any single-issue interest group. The disturbing tactics of division and distortion and discrimination practiced by the extremists of the new right have no place in these hearings and no place in the nation's democracy."

KENNEDY FLOOR STATEMENT ON JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The American people deserve to know whether nominees would roll back civil rights laws, or uphold the rights of the disabled, the elderly, and minorities. The American people are entitled to know if a nominee respects women's right to equal treatment in our society and to privacy in making reproductive decisions.
This does not mean every nominee should promise to rule a particular way in each of the cases on the Supreme Court's docket for the next term. It doesn't mean that nominees must state how they would rule in any specific case. But it does mean that the Senate should expect the nominee to answer questions about important legal principles -- such as the constitutional power of Congress to protect Americans against corporate abuses, the right to equal treatment, Americans' right to privacy in making personal decisions about medical care, the principle of non-discrimination, and the right to be free from unwarranted government intrusion.
The American people deserve to know the answers to those questions, and the Senate's review is the only way that they can get those answers. The nominee will need to say more than "Trust me," in response to these important questions, because so much hangs in the balance.
One could only hope that Tubalard Teddy would take his limo back to Chappaquiddick and drive himself back into that pond and stay there.
