The IRONY of Frist taking Scalito to the Rotunda to view Rosa Parks

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

"The Supreme Court is an institution I have long held in reverence," said the bespectacled judge, a former prosecutor and government attorney who has argued 12 cases before the Supreme Court. "During my 29 years as a public servant, I've had an opportunity to view the Supreme Court from a variety of perspectives."

From the bench, Alito has staked out positions supporting restrictions on abortion, such as parental and spousal notification.

If he is confirmed by the Senate, Alito would join another Bush pick on the bench, Chief Justice John Roberts. He would replace retiring justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a decisive swing vote in a host of affirmative action, abortion, campaign finance, discrimination and death penalty cases.

Wasting no time, the White House arranged for Alito to go to the Capitol after the announcement.The schedule called for Senate Majority Leader Bill First to greet him and accompany the nominee to the Capitol Rotunda to go to the coffin of the late civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks.

1. To view what they hope is the death of Civil Rights.

Let's show them they are wrong.

2. The "NERVE" of Alito daring to show his face at the Rotunda-

one of his dissenting views:

ALITO WOULD ALLOW RACE-BASED DISCRIMINATION: Alito dissented from a decision in favor of a Marriott Hotel manager who said she had been discriminated against on the basis of race. The majority explained that Alito would have protected racist employers by “immuniz an employer from the reach of Title VII if the employer’s belief that it had selected the ‘best’ candidate was the result of conscious racial bias.”

3. Maybe he should invite David Duke and make it a threesome.

Too bad Frist can't ressurect Hitler and invite him to lunch and a tour of the Holocaust Museum.

5. I think it's a big "in your face" to Democrats..

Some people on the right have to do more than win--they have to rub it in your face afterward. This is no innocent gesture; this is firing the first shot.

4. SUCKING UP TO BLACKS FOR THEIR VOTES IN THE

UPCOMING ELECTIONS!!!!!! Anyone can see what they are doing.....they don't give a flying phuck about Rosa Parks or any other person of color. All repuKKKes care about is their own rich WHITE cronies and to hell with everyone else.

I am so sick of bu$h and his cronies. Here he is with 39% approval rating and this idiot thinks he has a man-date. Damn that bastard! :grr:

I sure wish she would rise up out of her coffin and give these jokers a piece of her mind.

8. This is obscene

They have no shame.
