It's by now a truism that on judicial appointments Senate
Democrats are tools of such groups as People for the American Way
and the Alliance for Justice. But it should also be remembered that
such organs as the New York Times are willing tools of
these groups as well.
Who does the Times give the last word to in its
writeup today of the Roberts swearing in? To Nan
Aron, president of Alliance for Justice. Calling the day
disappointing, she closes the Times story with this
warning: "He's been sworn in; he's chief justice. We have a period
of calm before the next storm."
Meaning, watch out!
Separately, the Times will no doubt blame the rising
incidence of storms in our public life to the Bush Administration's
failure to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol.
