For shame!

I don’t know if I feel worse about the tens of thousands of chickens who roasted in the Southern California fire or the twenty-two chickens in the U.S. Senate.
What’s more tragic? Innocent fowl trapped inside a farm, burning to death - or twenty-two foul members of the Senate voting against Judge Roberts?
Republicans have no guarantee that the new Chief Justice will be conservative. Similarly, the Democrats have no guarantee that he will be liberal. He was grilled over and over again about his possible agenda. Is he an ideologue? Does he lean too far to the right?
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he’ll start off that way, then turn the opposite direction in a few years. Maybe he’ll be in the middle somewhere. Maybe he’ll vote one way, then another - on one side, and then the other. Maybe he’ll die prematurely. Who knows?
What is known is his resume and his reputation. He might just be the best qualified nominee to come along in decades, and twenty-two Senators voted against him. Who, then, has the agenda? Who are the ideologues?
If he is, as many suspect, the best man for the job, why would you want it on record that you tried to prevent him from having the position?
Patrick Leahy did the right thing. Shame on those who did not.
