No common ground

Praise Gaia, and pass the Scotch

In "Democrats Powerless Against Alito," John Tabin postulates, of Senate democrats, "If they filibuster now, they'll never filibuster again."  In the process he cites a New  Republic article that cedes the point that Judge Alito skillfully dodged democrat traps, but offers three areas that are very troubling.  For my purposes, they are illustrative of the gulf  that separates the Left from real Americans.

First is Alito's unwillingness to commit himself one way or another on Roe v. Wade. How can anyone disagree with Tabin's rebuttal that  judicial ethics proscribe a  judge from pronouncing on something that he is likely to have to rule on ?  That one's covered by common sense 101. Second is the notion that Alito's answers to questions about the Concerned Alumni of Princeton made him "seem untruthful."  Tabin's response -  This is almost too silly to merit a response. "I'm not inclined to believe you, therefore you aren't credible" isn't a very good argument either logically or politically.  He might have added that the Swimmer's attack dog questions,  about CAP,  were largely based on  a parody piece that the Lard Ass from Mass read as gospel. Duh. Third is Alito's history of defending the unitary executive theory ....  "... that radical notion that when the Constitution says that "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America," it means that the executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

There you have it.  Half the nation has no common ground with the half who grew up believing in the sanctity of a written constitution.  Do the math.
