Joe "Kabuki Dance" Biden Weighs In

If you want to see cold, hard proof that the modern Democratic party has imploded, you need look no further than this week's meetings of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This embarrassing spectacle was headlined by a preening peacock known in some circles as Joe "Kabuki Dance" Biden.

The Senate minority hypocrite, Biden's driveway doesn't go quite all the way to the garage. In fact, I would call Biden dim, but that would unfairly tar half of the tasty Chinese dish known as dim sum. Put simply, Biden possesses the legal intellect of Britney Spears on an epidural.

Britney -- I mean Biden -- is so obviously hamming it up for the cameras that he could be nominated for a daytime Emmy. It's all part of Biden's grand scheme of securing the 2008 Democratic nomination. And, in typical Biden fashion, it has no chance of succeeding.

Although, given the amount of makeup that Biden, Kennedy, and Feinstein are using each day, they may be responsible for a boomlet in the burgeoning "congressional makeup artist" profession. So don't say the Democrats never do anything to help the economy.

The most laughable performance (as of Tuesday) was by Sen. Joseph Biden, Delaware Democrat. After spending about eight minutes making statements and not asking a question, Biden accused Judge Roberts of "filibustering" in his answer to one of the questions Biden eventually asked. Biden's body language, his arrogant and condescending attitude and his use of the vernacular ("I hope you don't still hold that view, man" and "Hey, Judge, how are ya?") was improper and ill-mannered. Worse, though, was Biden's amnesia. Biden tried to make political hay out of a memo a young John Roberts wrote on Dec. 11, 1981, in which he referred to a "so-called right to privacy." Three months after Roberts wrote his memo, Biden voted in favor of the Hatch Amendment... an amendment whose purpose was essentially to obliterate the "so-called right to privacy."...

Shocking. Biden hypocritical?

Liberals can't win on abortion, gay marriage and bans on the Pledge of Allegiance by allowing Americans to vote. That's why they need the courts to keep inventing rights to abortion, gay marriage and bans on the Pledge of Allegiance... Just let us know before Bush nominates Janice Rogers Brown to the Supreme Court so we can arrange for live TV coverage of George Soros' head exploding, OK?

Nothing could better illustrate the wrongheadedness of modern liberalism toward the role of the courts in the American constitutional framework than the allusions to Hurricane Katrina by Senators Leahy, Kennedy and others in the context of the Roberts confirmation hearings... The senators' invocation of Katrina is obscene and manipulative. They are highly frustrated that the electorate won't endorse their policy prescriptions for the nation and therefore rely on the judicial branch, entirely inappropriately and unconstitutionally, to effect their agenda.

Monday was only the first day of the Senate hearings on John Roberts’ Supreme Court nomination, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) couldn’t resist. In her opening statement, she compared American religious conservatives with Nazis and fascists who murdered Jews in World War II... she asserts that “to protect against religious persecution, the framers” of the Constitution “established a secular government that would remain separate from religion... [T]hese basic principles could be severely weakened or unraveled depending on the Court’s allowing government funding of religious education, prayer in school, and the display of religious symbols on public property and land.” ...The Declaration of Independence states that our rights are “unalienable” for a reason—because we are “endowed by our Creator” with them. It states that our nation’s place “among the powers of the earth” rests upon “the laws of nature and of nature’s God.” Calling the United States “one nation under God” is not a statement of arrogance, as many seem to assume. It is, instead, a statement of humility...
