Teddy Kennedy Swallows a Camel. And Did Anybody Know?

I spent a good deal of last week listening to or watching the Alito confirmation hearings. Between NPR, and C-SPAN I think I got most of it. Some, including Joe Biden, Dem. Senator from Delaware, suggest the process “stinks”. I think Senator Biden’s real concern is how these proceedings have stirred up the stink rising from the Democrat Party.

Jesus taught us how to judge Kennedy and company’s behavior in the Supreme Court conformation proceedings.

St. Matthew 23:23-24:

23) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, “hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier maters of the law; judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24) Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

The ugly mug of the Democrat Party hangs out to full view, its great mouth open wide. More and more Teddy Kennedy has become identified as the face of the Democrats. Not that he has done anything of value for the country, but because, in the bleeding jaw that is the Democrat Party, the diseased gums have receded around Kennedy, as though he were an infected tooth; now he hangs out like a rotting fang.

Now that great stinking maw, with snaggeled tooth, opens to choke on a gnat and swallows the camel.

The Democrat attack on Alito can be divided into three parts: politics, slander, and lies.

Politics:

The Democrats are afraid that as a Justice of the Supreme Court, Alito will stop the misapplication of the Roe - v – Wade decision as a blank check to kill the unborn for convenience sake. They cannot allow this abominable misapplication of the Constitution to come before reasonable minds. Therefore they continue to insist on the litmus test of a pro-abortion stance for any Supreme Court nominee. The witnesses who attacked Alito after his personal inquisition, flatly claimed that he would stop the “legalized” killings of the unborn if he is allowed on the court. That fact that the majority of Americans and the laws of nature and nature’s God demand an end to abortion on demand do not affect their decisions. These democrats are bound to the special interest groups who are invested in abortion, and choke.

Slanders:

Teddy Kennedy claimed that decades ago Judge Alito cited membership in a Princeton conservative alumni group on one of his job applications for a job in a conservative administration. When asked about why he would join such a group Alito explained that as a member of ROTC, he had been offended by Princeton’s attitude toward the military, and as this group was active in supporting the ROTC he had supported it. Kennedy then went on to read from editorial comments in copies of the organization’s publication which Alito had never read, and which the Concerned Alumni of Princeton openly disavowed in the magazine that contained them. The press is full of stupid claims and bigoted assertions, but does not mean that those who subscribe to the papers or the cable networks are stupid bigots. It is amazing that in the millions of words written by Judge Alito, and the thousands of his own pronouncements they could not find a single bigoted remark. All Kennedy’s army of bush beaters could scare up was this “guilt by association” accusation. It was a choked up blast of really bad breath.

Kennedy’s scraping fang next locked on a recusal (sp) issue. Judge Alito heard a single case out of over 4,000 in which a company which he had some investment moneys in was involved. That once the situation came to Alito’s attention he did recuse (sp) himself, and had the case retried, that Judge Alito had nothing to gain from the case no matter what the ruling, that he admitted up front that he made a mistake, and thus called for the retrial, meant nothing to the snaggeled tooth. When the case was retried the new court found in the exact same way that Alito had ruled! All Kennedy wanted to do was find some slander to gnaw on. Specter, Biden, Schumer, Durban, and the rest chewed along in unison spattering the proceedings with the stinking droll.

That’s it – in all the writings and actions of a life time, in all the business and proceedings of years of being a scholar, lawyer, and fifteen years of Alito’s judgeship, Kennedy and company could only cough up these two little gnats. And now they are vomiting all over the confirmation process until it stinks so badly that even Joe Biden wishes it would just go away.

Lies:

Judge Alito has heard over 4,000 cases, has written opinions on 350 appeals. The democrats have chewed this mountain of material like a ruminating cow, and from it culled out a few cases which can be twistingly presented to show a bias. Of course when a judge makes a judgment he is choosing one side over another. That the facts of the case are never discussed by the fang and the little molars is telling. The much touted strip search of the ten year old girl is most telling. Judge Alito’s position, was that a warrant to search “every one” in a known drug dealer’s house, a drug dealer that was known to hide his stash on the person of anyone, could be reasonably interpreted by a police officer to include a ten year old girl. The search, which was not intrusive, was conducted by a female police officer, in the presence of the girl’s mother, and the girl was never striped. None of these facts, which reduce this “Gestapo” like atrocity to a gnat, are ever presented by the foul mouth. All it can do is spew out rotten lies.

The Democrats bring in all kinds of “witnesses” to claim that they have read Alito’s record and can divine that he is a bigot, a monarchist, and how he will rule from the Supreme Court bench. That he will destroy the right to “one man one vote” and he will drag the country back to “Jim Crow” and segregation and will support racial profiling. They have university professors come in and testify that because of this theory or that, they can tell that Judge Alito’s support of law enforcement in certain cases he will allow the Executive to enslave the Legislative and Judicial branches, destroy the Constitution, and reduce American to a monarchy. They find a passing reference that Judge Alito made to the “Unitary Executive”, a reference which the Judge explained that he simply meant that the President was in charge of the executive branch. The tooth and company then belched out their theories of what he meant. They called Judge Alito a liar and explained that Judge Alito really wanted to set up a monarchy. The lie stinks.

The stench of bad breath has caused the decay of what is chewed and the bile churned up. The great classical scholar, Robert Graves, points out that the existence of corrupt men of power is a testimony to mankind’s need for its sense of smell. The rotting, stinking mouth that is the Democrat Party, straining at gnats, now opens to swallow the camels. We can all smell the stench. Here are some Camels relating to Supreme Court interests that are being sucked in by the monstrous maw.

Camel – The murder of One Million unborn Americans every year.

Camel – The exploitation of American Minorities by special interest groups bent on keeping them down. Many special interest groups require a climate of racism and anger to exist. These groups maintain their sway by encouraging more and more Americans into positions of dependency on government programs crafted to maintain the political power of the interest groups; groups that can only exist in an atmosphere of hate and fear.

Camel – The holding hostage of America’s resources by special interest environmental groups who use pseudo science and fear to prevent the use of vital resources, and lies to justify their existence and gin up money to buy politicians then used to grant the special interests grater power.

Camel – The revelation of America’s National Defense secrets by those entrusted to keep those secrets. This revealed information makes preventing the mass murder of Americans more difficult. It is interesting to note that terror cells suspects are now buying hundreds of disposable cell phones, their intent to duck the surveillance of the NSA which has kept us safe these past four plus years. At the same time Kennedy uses the word whistle blower to describe traitors who told our war time secrets to our enemies, he is calling for indictments for a non-crime concerning a non-covert CIA employ.

Camel – It was interesting to hear the tooth of the same party that sent in federal marshals to drag a little Cuban boy back to Castro and slaughter the folks at Waco, tear into Alito’s ruling to allow a judge rather than a jury to hear a case of federal marshals being sued for evicting admittedly dangerous people from their farm without hurting anyone.

Camel – While questioning if a demonstrated impartial judge leans too far “right” in his politics, Democrats swallow the camel of interpretation of the Constitution by the application of foreign law.

Camel – An activist judge in Vermont who releases a confessed rapist because he does not “believe in punishment anymore, and the prison system does not have adequate rehabilitation programs.”

Camel – Child services workers who can not enter the home of suspected child abusers without a warrant and do not attempt to go to the trouble to get one; resulting in a seven year old child being beaten to death by the abusive parents.

Camel – While claiming that there is nothing more constitutionally sacred than the separation of powers and the rights and responsibilities of the separate but equal branches of American government, the Democrats use an unconstitutional debate tradition (the filibuster) to prevent voting on judges and other important issues.

Jesus told us how to recognize “hypocrites who have omitted the weightier matters of the law”; they strain at the gnats, and swallow the camels. We can all tell the camel eaters by the stink. I thank Jesus for the advice and God for our sense of smell.
