Once Again

Once again the democrats are making fools of themselves over the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito. Let me be honest about it, they oppose Judge Alito because he is a conservative and was appointed by President Bush. However from a legal point of view Judge Alito is extremely qualified to be a memeber of the Supreme Court. He is extremely intellegent with a brilliant legal mind. His tenure on the third circuit court of appeals has been first rate. He was rated by the American Bar Association as extremely well qualified. To the democrats this used to be the Gold Standard on judicial appointments. It used to be that if a nominee was rated as well qualifed by the ABA then he/she was confirmed. Now its all about ideology, its about "what does this person think on issue A,B, and or C" Quiet frankly it doen't matter what a nominees opinions on issues are, what does matter is the nominees understanding of the constitution, his/her grasp of the law, and their proper judical temperment.
So as an American I am upset that the leaders of one of the most prominate political parties in our country would pollute the senate in such a way. As a political creater, as a conservative republican I hope that the democrats continue this illogical, rage oriented, foolish behavior. Because as long as they do they will continue to be the minority party. So for our sake lets hope they never pull there heads out of the sand and realize that the best politics is good policy.
