I sat through my constitutional law class today at Widener University School of Law, and I began to think about the topic of politics. We were discussing the nomination and likely confirmation of Judge Alito to the Supreme Court. I thought of how the Supreme Court was set up to be a body free from politics, in order to be an unbiased judge on the issues brought before it. The past week the Senate went through a number of hearings with Judge Alito. There the attempted to destroy him in front of the public. The democrats in the Senate made a political decision to attempt to block Judge Alito, from a seat on the court that is supposed to not be political.
Perhaps I am being biased, but the Democrats seem to be creating more problems than they solve. They are also fighting a losing battle. In the next presidential election, there are a number of Republicans who have the power and influence to win. The democrats are hoping that Hilary Clinton will be able to win enough votes to get the White House. Truth be told, she won't even get enough votes from her own party to get out of convention.
I just read an article about Al Gore. He is attacking the Bush administration, and President Bush in particular. He wants to impeach the President. Of course, I don't always agree with everything that President Bush has done, but I think these attacks are petty and childish. Just like Al Gore to do something so petty. Not that President Bush stepping down would be a bad thing, because then we would have President Cheney. The democrats would hate that. But they never seem to think of the alternatives or consequences of their actions. This is why they flip flop, because they don't know the consequences.
