The Replacing a Moderate With a Moderate Canard

The latest bogus rhetoric from the left states that Alito must be defeated because "we have to keep the balance in the SC", "we need to replace moderate SDO with a moderate". Talk about self serving nonsense.

Never in the history of our great republic has this been considered let alone considered a legitimate criterion for selection of a SCOTUS nominee. The court has wafted back on forth between liberal and conservative since it's inception. Our constitional authors expected this and specifically made no restrictions to moderate it.

Did anyone cry foul when the self proclaimed ultra pro-abortion Ruth "Buzzy" Ginsburg was nominated to replace one of the two Roe dissenters, Byron White? No way, she was confirmed with 96 votes. The right didn't like it much but they knew the rules of the game, it's something they had to accept.

Democrats, however, seek to alter these time honored standards in the middle of the game. Whether it be judicial filibusters or mandating arbitrary litmus tests on key issues, the left makes up the rules as they go. Damn the principle, political expediency is the order of the day.

It's time the right expose these hypocrits for what they are and this confirmation battle is the perfect venue to do just that.
