Judges

HughHewitt blogged My WeeklyStandard.com column, "A Selective Adherence to Tradition," points out that those who were outraged about mentions of impeachment in April are silent on the politicization of the confirmation process in May. Rush Limbaugh made a similar and powerful point yesterday when he asked where where are the defenders of the judiciary who denounced attacks on judges last month, but who are silent this month about attacks on Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen, and Bill Pryor? If it was wrong to ask for accountability of the 11th Circuit --which ignored the clear intent of the Congress in the Schiavo case-- why is it acceptable to denounce in the harshest terms the opinions of Bush nominees? If the former endangers judges, Rush asked, doesn't the latter?

Actually regardless of what you thought about the Schiavo case, what the Dems are doing to the judges is WRONG

Of course it does, but the MSM is indifferent to attacks on center-right judges, just as MSM ignores the wild hypocrisy of attacking mentions of impeachment even as politically-motivated filibusters dominate the Senate's business.
