Trust Me: The Sequel

Just when the conservative masses thought that they'd get over Roberts; The even more mysterious candidate comes forth.

It's time to take President Bush at his word. He has nominated two people for the SCOTUS that share his judicial philosophy. If you want to know what that philosophy is, then look to the people he has nominated.

He has nominated two people who have actively campaigned for creating special rights for people who engage in certain behaviours. He has nominated people with stated distain for the "mainstream" conservatives.

Given Dubya's penchant for inventing new meanings for word - like compassionate conservative. (Actually means ex-democrats still have their socialistic tendancies but like to go to church) It really isn't any wonder that he has his own meaning for "strict constructionist." And as for that quote about Thomas and Scalia; he probably meant "those who would like Thomas and Scalia" not "those like Thomas and Scalia."

While the LEFT has run around making fun of the president's invented words, they've ignored, along with the rest of America, his ability to re-define what those words mean. This ability re-define the meaning of words puts him in the same class of Bill Clinton - it's no wonder that the Bushs and Clintons are such good friends now.
