The List of Dangerous Senators



It was a done deal before this morning.

Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. is the 17th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Because it was a foregone conclusion, maybe that's why a remarkable number of Democrats, twenty-two, chose to vote AGAINST one of the most brilliant individuals to be nominated to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. They felt safe in buckling under to the pressure of extremist groups.

Nevertheless, I suspect that this NAY vote will come back to bite anyone on this list hoping to win a national election.

Dianne Feinstein - California

Barbara Boxer - California

Joe Biden - Delaware

Daniel Akaka - Hawaii

Daniel Inouye - Hawaii

Dick Durbin - Illinois

Barrack Obama - Illinois

Evan Bayh - Indiana

Tom Harkin - Iowa

Barbara Mikulski - Maryland

Paul Sarbanes - Maryland

Ted Kennedy - Massachusetts

John Kerry - Massachusetts

Debbie Stabenow - Michigan

Mark Dayton - Minnesota

Harry Reid - Nevada

Frank Lautenberg - New Jersey

Jon Corzine - New Jersey

Chuck Schumer - New York

Hillary Clinton - New York

Jack Reed - Rhode Island

Maria Cantwell - Washington

Obviously, John Roberts is qualified. Nonetheless, these individuals disregarded that. They chose to play politics. They put politics ahead of principle.

Many on the list are known far Left-wingers. Their NAY votes, while unfounded, are par for their extreme liberal course.

Of particular concern to me, however, are those senators who claim to be moderate, yet voted NAY.

Barrack Obama is NOT a moderate.

Hillary Clinton is NOT a moderate.

Evan Bayh is NOT a moderate.

Has Bayh had a personality transplant? What was he thinking? Obviously, he wasn't. It had to be all politics, pure and simple.

Obama also wasn't thinking.

Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention was widely considered to be a breath of fresh air. He came off as a centrist, as actually speaking with the good of the country in mind rather than his political party. He was able to impress both Democrats and Republicans.

Apparently, that was a facade. Obama's vote against John Roberts reveals that he is an extremist, or at least willing to kow-tow to the radical Left extremists.

He blew it.

When it comes to Hillary, we know that she stands for nothing, besides the most recent poll numbers. She has painted herself into the far Left corner of the room. After her NAY vote, there is no way she can claim to be in the center. No way.

It's no secret that Bayh, Obama, and Clinton have their sights set on higher office.

Because the Roberts confirmation was a done deal and their votes would not alter the outcome, it amazes me that these senators made such an incredible blunder.
