Senate Judiciary Committee approves Roberts

September 22nd, 2005

By a 13-5 vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved John Roberts as the next Supreme Court chief justice. Not surprisingly, one of the five who voted against him was Dick Durbin (who was joined by Dianne Feinstein, Joey Biden, Teddy Kennedy and Chuckie Schumer).

Durbin is such an unprincipled weasel (Yes, I know Feinstein, Biden, Kennedy and Schumer are, too, but I used to live in Illinois so I’m singling out Durbin). It makes me glad I don’t live in the Land of Lincoln anymore, so I don’t have to claim him as one of my senators.

    He might be a Senator in Illinois, but he didn’t get my vote!!! (and he NEVER will)..


  2. Tim I heard Br. Roger talk about your blog and that stirred my int. I am glad Sen. Durbin is retiring but I’m just as concerned about Obahma. I think he will be one sided and very liberal.
