Wingnut of the Day
This is Wendy Long. She runs something called the Judicial Confirmation Network. She used to clerk for everyone’s favorite judicial sociopath, Clarence Thomas. And now that Obama gets to put someone on the Supreme Court, she’s having a tantrum.
The current Supreme Court is a liberal, judicial activist court. Obama could make it even more of a far-left judicial activist court, for a long time to come, if he appoints radicals like Diane Wood, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. A new Justice in this mold would just entrench a bad majority for a long time.
I do not think that word means what Wendy thinks it means.
As Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has pointed out, a judge who decides cases based on her personal and political views, instead of what the law says, will have a hard time fulfilling her oath to dispense justice impartially. Senators have a constitutional duty to rigirously scrutinize [sic] the nominee on this score, and vote “no” if the nominee cannot establish that she will follow the law, rather than her own values and beliefs, as the President has suggested.
You’d think that a former Supreme Court clerk would “rigirously scrutinize” her website for spelling errors. Perhaps she was homeschooled.
It’s going to be interesting – and endlessly amusing – to watch the GOP throw tantrums about things they can’t stop. The hits will just keep coming.
I wonder how many cans of coke laced with pubic hair did she get?
“if the nominee cannot establish that she will follow the law, rather than her own values and beliefs”
So I take it she’s never met Scalia.
Why did her image summon an advertisement for Satanic Jewelry?
Seriously, if the current court is “liberal” and “activist” what the fuck would the court she wants look like? I’m guessing it would be a lot like a Christianist version of a Sharia court.
@Serolf Divad: And why did her website shrink the text of this post (as well as my testicles)? Satanic plot.
“This is the central Scrutinizer” . . . now I’ll have Zappa in my head all day.

I am not sure whether to laugh, cry or vomit in terror.
Her eyes are very weird. I see people like this dragging bundles around and talking to themselves here in Santa Monica, per Harry Shearer the Home of the Homeless.
@Serolf Divad: Like all these cackling freaks, she is a neomedievalist. She wants the Spanish Inquisition with a disco soundtrack – and lots of torture. Everyone is guilty! Everyone must be flayed alive and sent to hell! Ha! Haha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh honey. Don’t take your rosacea out on us.
@flippin eck: ME-OOOOOOOOW! You know I love you.
WTH is a Judicial Confirmation Network? Seriously, how much work do these guys put in, in a year?
@Prommie:
I got an ad for a $750.00 bankruptcy.
@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket: I blame Bloggies post about the auto industry.
@homofascist: Can’t argue with that.
In a coincidental vein. A survey on torture and religion.
@flippin eck: Snap! COTD~
@flippin eck: Bless her heart.
I wonder if she clerked with lawyers named Silver and Dong?
She used to clerk for Thomas? Hmmm, wonder if he made her put on a corset, fishnets, and heels, and have her ask him “Is it twoo what they say about you fellows? Oh, is twoo!”
What is the deal with all these beaky forced birth women?
