Franken explains his vote to confirm Sonia Sotomayor pretty eloquently, with some rhetorical reframing of the debate drawing dark glares from some of the right side of the aisle.
A good start. I hope he rolls up his sleeves for the pending health care debate. Word is out that the Progressive Caucus may sink the healthcare bill if the public option is watered down.

He’s as Orwellian as you can get. It’s the conservatives who are judicial activists after all. Who knew?

Who knew? Anyone who’s paid attention over the past twenty years.

Remind me to post my lecture about how “strict construction” and “original intent” are really two different animals, and in fact “strict construction” is arguably a judicial activist construct given that there is plenty of indication from founders against the proposition that concepts such as “cruel and unusual’ be locked into 18th century sensibilities. Thomas is a strict constructionist. He is apathetic to original intent. He is an activist.

“Thomas is a strict constructionist.”
That’s funny, I thought that he was just an unintelligent and self-absorbed toady.

you can call him what you will, but unintelligent would be pretty much, well for lack of a better term, ….unintelligent. I will say, cpr, you are a consistent in your partisanship. and before you say it, I voted for the O, or was it that hot purple number worn by ms. O…….

I’m happy for unanonymous that he voted for a lame candidate over one that fervently promised continued disaster.
It isn’t “partisanship” that leads me to se Thomas as a craven and unintelligent opportunist. I’ll concede that Judge Bork and Justice Scalia are intelligent because I’ve seen some evidence to support the conclusion.
