A Republican dress rehearsal

D.C.-area Walgreens report Depends on back order
Previewing Friday's Senate Judiciary Committee shenanigans

Concern Trolls of America contend Prof. Liu is unqualified because — oh dearie me — he had an unkind word for John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Conservatives insist they have never criticized a liberal judge.

Tough call, though: CSPAN-3 vs. WisconsinEye.

NYT: in a recent memorandum to “the conservative movement,” more than a dozen conservative leaders — including... Gary Bauer of American Values and Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America — characterized Mr. Liu as “unfit” to be a judge because he had an “extreme liberal agenda that he would impose from the bench.”

It's a funny old country, innit? when the opinions of a Hagee-buddy bigot nutbar and a crazed creationist dipshit are held to be crucial to the confirmation of a candidate generally known by experts of all political stripes to be brilliant and fair.
