GOP Plans To Attack During Hearing, Sessions Says

By Dan Friedman


Sen. Jeff Sessions tells ABC News that no matter who President Obama nominates for the Supreme Court, Republicans will use the hearing to attack Obama, arguing that the president wants a judiciary that supports his political views.

"It's pretty clear to me that President Obama sees judges as allies in an effort to promote an agenda he thinks is best for the country," said Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in an interview with ABC.

"What I'm hearing from my constituents is a cry that Washington is losing all recognition that it is a government of limited, delegated powers, and that it is assuming roles that go far beyond anything the governed ever thought that they would be doing," the Alabama Republican added.

Sessions said Republicans will seek the nominee's views on a new requirement that individuals buy health care insurance; property rights issues; gun rights; and Obama's attacks on the court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which threw out limits on corporate contributions to campaigns, according to ABC. Sessions added that it's "dangerous" that Obama has said he wants the nominee to consider how laws affect the lives of Americans.

1. Dangerous for whom?

Ahhh... yes, the GOP... that makes sense.

Idiots.

I wonder too if they realize how stupid this makes them sound! Furthermore, it makes their "constituents" sound really witless as well! The only people who will be able to swallow that BS can't possibly understand what he's saying, and will only repeat it as the latest talking point/bumper sticker.

5. Excuse me Sessions...

but you hack bastards do this shit all the time: "...sees judges as allies in an effort to promote an agenda he thinks is best for the country" not only that, but they also shoe in hard right judges as well, because that is all that was appointed during the shrub reign of terra.

"Sessions added that it's "dangerous" that Obama has said he wants the nominee to consider how laws affect the lives of Americans." Fuck you sessions.

7. It spells America's doom that Sessions can say this and have any chance of staying in office

The stupid has won.

8. no matter who he nominates, they will attack obama

that's pretty much the definition of a partisan attack.

and of course, the line they'll use is that obama wants a judiciary that supports his political views. NO MATTER WHO HE NOMINATES. so obama's political views are clearly very wide-ranging.

and naturally, a president appointing people who support his political views, that's quite obviously a terrible thing. no republican would EVER do anything like that!

:sarcasm:

10. And the Republicans picked Thomas and Scalia solely due to their

judicial gravity. :rofl: No, Republican Presidents never pick those who support their views. :rofl:
