Hillary Clinton's vendetta agaist people who could have sent her to prison, but didn't.

Her Filthiness ought to be grateful

Whitewater Payback?

Now that Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito seems headed for confirmation, it's a good moment to ask: What about the rest of them?

We refer to President Bush's six stalled nominees for the appeals courts. Several nominations -- including, most notably, that of White House staff secretary Brett Kavanaugh -- have been languishing for years. Mr. Kavanaugh was first nominated to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on July 23, 2003. He had a hearing on April 27, 2004, but no vote. The President renominated him on February 14, 2005, shortly into his second term, but again no vote; by the end of the year the Senate still hadn't acted.

In such cases, the Senate routinely permits nominations to be carried over into the following year. No such luck for Mr. Kavanaugh, whose nomination was blocked by an unknown Senator or Senators. That means the President must now nominate Mr. Kavanaugh for a third time, as we're told he will.

Who is this secret Senator? Speculation centers on New York Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who reportedly is uninterested in furthering the career of the man who once worked for Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Mrs. Clinton was the sole Senator to vote against Michael Chertoff and Viet Dinh in 2001 when they were confirmed for top Justice Department positions in the Bush Administration. Both men had participated in the investigation of her husband. The Senator's office says she "has taken no action to impede [Mr. Kavanaugh's] nomination."

The advise-and-consent clause of the Constitution gives the Senate the duty of vetting all federal judicial nominees. Mr. Kavanaugh and his fellow appeals-court candidates deserve up-or-down votes on the Senate floor -- and soon after Judge Alito is confirmed.

This doesn't make sense to me.  Ken Starr's team declined to prosecute Hillary because Starr, ever the calculating prosecutor, feared it would  be hard to get a conviction against  a First  Lady.  She ought to be grateful.  I'd have prosecuted her on each of the what? two dozen felonies she is accused of, just to get all the evidence on record.  O..J Simpson wasn't convicted either, but he sure as hell could never run for president.

What? Yes, I would have asked for the death penalty.  For both of them.

This is a classic post, a true award winner for certain.

Agreed, today you have Democrat hacks creating baseless fooey to just get indictments.

How many Clinton 'FOBS' went to prison for these idiots?
