WAGON CIRCLING BEGINS

The announcement of Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement sent liberals and moderates into initial wagon circling mode almost immediately.
Laura Ingraham's Senior Balloon from Massachusetts wasted no time in taking to the Senate floor to briefly say nice words about Justice O'Connor and then hit his main points. Wind Bag Ted Kennedy wasted no time in lecturing President Bush on who he and the rest of the left wing in the Senate want nominated to replace O'Connor. It was another one of those "they just don't get it" moments with Democrats again acting as if they are the majority.
Equally revealing of the hasty wagon circling was the press conference called by Senator Warner from Virginia. His interest lies in keeping the infamous Gang of Seven alive along with its pathetic partisan treason. Warner hinted to the reporters that he hopes President Bush will work with the Senate. In other words, Warner wants Bush to nominate a justice that Ted Kennedy likes.
Thankfully, Justice O'Connor broke news of her retirement on the day before the Senate adjourned for a long July 4th recess. Had the news come with the Senate in regular business mode, we might have had to endure an endless stream of bloviating Democrats and an equally obnoxious crew of RINO Republicans engaging in verbal wagon circling.
One thing sure to happen as a result of this Supreme Court vacancy is the separation of the men from the boys. We trust President Bush will be one of the men and nominate a real Conservative to replace O'Connor. And we will be watching carefully to identify the senators in favor of the Constitution versus those in favor of a left wing judicial dictatorship.
