Response of Senators facing "obstructionist" charge: I voted for Roberts!
For Senators who voted for Roberts, why don't they use this arguement to deflect the bullshit obstructionist charge?

1. i prefer "DAMN STRAIGHT I'M AN OBSTRUCTIONIST!"
when an administration nominates someone like alito to the supreme court, someone who is a proponent of dictatorship thinly veiled under the moniker 'unitary executive', then DAMN STRAIGHT i'll be proud to obstruct any movement in the direction of dictatorship in this country.

6. They could say

7. Obstructionist? If you Republicans had let Harriet Miers
have an up or down vote, this would have been over with after the Roberts confirmation!
