Today as John Roberts was sworn in as the 17th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, many Democrats on the Hill were already vocally yelling war calls for Bush’s next Supreme Court nomination. While Democrats have been pushing their media campaign of “for the people”, it strikes me odd how one could already state they would give the President a tougher fight in the next round having no idea who he’d pick! Just another shot of politics for the Democrats grasping at some kind of control-straw since they have no majority anywhere anymore. Hence the reason Tom Delay has been accused of something that not a single lawyer in the land can say what Delay is being accused of.

I think the Democrats publicly voicing their rebellious is a sad commentary to what has happened to our political system. I’m sure our founding fathers understood there would be disagreements and this is why we have such an awesome political structure. However, some Democrats no longer seem to care about that or care about the peoples will. They only seem to care about their own personal agenda as proven by Feinstein’s comments today:

“My belief is that you should be open in public about your views. I couldn’t penetrate to the extent that I could feel comfortable, knowing the things I care deeply about, that I ran for the Senate for, will be protected.” [Source]

Sadly the Senior Senator from California doesn’t realize a lawmakers job differs from the one that interrupts the law. Your views aren’t the base test, but your understanding of the Constitution and laws that live under it. That’s what matters and thus the reason ultimately why Roberts won, because he understand the Constitution.

Out of curiosity, I wonder why Feinstein made little mention of the importance of “views” when Ginsburg was being questions and why Feinstein disallowed any out-cry from the Republican’s then. Oh yes, it’s always been politics with her.
