Frist: Alito is the "worst nightmare of liberal Democrats"

[J. J.]

Keep talking, Frist. Maybe you can help us get 41 anti-fascists to fillibuster Alito. Of course Alito is the worst nightmare of a lot more people than just liberal Democrats.

How terrible for the Democrats that they can't block, in the words of  Frist spokesman Bob Stevenson, "a thoughtful mainstream conservative jurist who is well respected by his peers, by Democrats and Republicans alike."

"Worst nightmare" doesn't sound like "mainstream".

The Democrats who would consider it the "worst nightmare" don't sound "mainstream."

WTF are you talking about? Frist probabily considers anyone who cares about civil liberties a liberal.

It means that they want a judge to do what they want him to do, not follow the law.  In most, if not all, of the cases that libs are complaining about, Alito was following either precedent or what the legislature's instructions on how to follow the law.

[J. J.]

Umm, we know we're not going to get a liberal judge. What we oppose is someone who allows the Bush adminstration to do whatever it wants, the law be damned.

And what makes you think that Alito would.  He seems to be deferential to precedent and legislative instructions.
