All Hail Patrick Leahy

....
At least there's somebody speaking sanity in Washington.

"At a time when the president is seizing unprecedented power, the Supreme Court needs to act as a check and to provide balance," Leahy, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said in a speech at Georgetown University's law school. "Based on the hearing and his record, I have no confidence that Judge Alito would provide that check and balance."

Duh! Why isn't everyone saying this shit? Alito's nothing more than a Bush lapdog. Handy to have when you're breaking every law in the land.
