The Knuckleheads of the Day award

Today's winners are the eight Democratic members of the Judiciary committee who voted to oppose the nomination of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court. They are Senators Joseph Biden, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Patrick Leahy, Ted Kennedy, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer and Herb Kohl. Its obvious their opposition has nothing to do with Alito's views but Democratic fundraising and just plain politics. Alito is a sitting federal judge, if he is so horrible a judge and out of touch with the US mainstream why don't they call for his impeachment?

Somehow these knuckleheads think voting Alito will help win Congress back for the As Don Surber cites in the cases of Breyer and Ginsburg, only seven and three Republicans respectively opposed their nomination to the Supreme Court in 1993 and 1994. Only 30% of the american public opposes Alito's nomination, but truthfully few people really care though they should.

For being partisan hypocrites, Democratic Senators Biden, Leahy, Feinstein, Finegold, Kennedy, Dubrin, Kohl and Schumer are today's Knuckleheads of the day.
