Dean: Bush Court pick clear move to cover for Rove

Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean today issued the following statement on the nomination

2. The Dean quote:
"It is disappointing that when President Bush had the chance to bring the country together, he instead turned to a nominee who may have impressive legal credentials, but also has sharp partisan credentials that cannot be ignored.

"Democrats take very seriously the responsibility to protect the individual rights of all Americans and are committed to ensuring that ideological judicial activists are not appointed to the Supreme Court. The Senate Judiciary Committee will now have the opportunity to see if Judge Roberts can put his partisanship aside, and live up to a Supreme Court Justice's duty to uphold the rights and freedoms of every American and the promise of equal justice for all."

--Howard, the Pretzeldent isn't interested in anything but gaming the system for his own advantage.

3. Good answer, but
Unless and until the Dems in alleged 'leadership' fight for legitimate fair elections the criminals, murderers, and traitors will continue to ruin this country.

I am pro-choice and I will further say that I think this issue was neglected by the 'candidate' in 2004. I say this because candidate Clinton (whom I dislike) knew how to use this issue of court appointments as a major campaign issue, Kerry did not or wouldn't bring this up as a major issue. The idiot public needed to be made aware, but here we are.

I'm not going to say to anyone do not fight this, but IMO, taking out the murderous treasonous beast in the WH and exposing the resident evil should be top priority.
