DURBIN'S STAND ON ALITO AND THE NSA BROUHAHA EPITOMIZES THE UNPRINCIPLED LUNACY OF THE LEFT: it's a friggin' lynch mob!

As I blogged last week, Dickie "Gitom = Gulag" Durbin - along with Patrick Leahy and Teddy Jo Kennedy - submitted written questions to Alito, but then announced that he would vote against Alito BEFORE they received the written responses. Thus rpoving their questioning was disingenuine, at best. In fact, Durbin and the other Lefties, were so prejudiced agaiunst Alito, they had made up their minds LONG before the hearings were even scheduled. Let alone before they submitted their written questions or gfot the answers.

Now comes word - via THE CORNER - that Durbin admits that he doesnt really know the facts in the NSA brouhaha:

DURBIN'S NSA CONFESSION [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
From a press conference today:

QUESTION: I don't think I've heard any Democrats say that, though this program, in your view appears to be unconstitutional, maybe unlawful, why not say, Halt it now, and come to Congress and ask for the changes, but halt it now? I've not heard any Democrat say: Stop the program.

DURBIN: Well, I have to say, candidly, there are very few members of Congress who know exactly what this program's all about. Other than press descriptions, we don't honestly know what is being done in the name of this program.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... AHEM: No one knows what it's all about, but the Lefties in Congress and Al Gore ALL know it's: unconstitutional; illegal; and a frightening power grab by KING GEORGE (that's what Russ Feingold called him!) and an gross violation of the separation of powers and of checks and balances. There's even talk by these Lefties of impeachment.

Seems like in BOTH cases - both the Alito nomination and the NSA brouhaha - the Lefties who are in control of the Democrat Party have actually done worse than merely RUSH TO JUDGEMENT. They've virtually convicted and lynched Alito and Bush without even a fair trial.

Taken in tandem, these two positions by nearly the entire leadership of the Democrat Party can only lead a sensible person to ONE conclusion: the current Leftie leaderhip of the Democrat Party are a bunch of unprincipled, phony, prejudiced scum.

UPDATE: This type of "anti-Bush Lynch Mob mentality" is also typical of the Left in Old Europe - as CAPT. ED BLOGGED YESTERDAY:

Europe Finds Nothing But What It Reads In The Papers

An investigative panel researching the supposed "rendition centers" in Europe alleged by American newspapers has turned up no evidence of their existence -- but still filed a report consisting of newspaper clippings from the US to support continuing their efforts, a report that even Europe couldn't countenance:

An inquiry by the Council of Europe into allegations that the C.I.A. has operated secret detention centers in Eastern Europe has turned up no evidence that such centers ever existed though the leader of the inquiry, Dick Marty, said there are enough "indications" to justify continuing the investigation. ...

The findings, delivered to the Council on Tuesday, drew scornful reactions from some representatives of the Council's 46 member states, particularly from the British, who called the interim report "as full of holes as Swiss cheese" and "clouded in myth and motivated by a desire to kick America." "

WMD BLOG tracked back to this post at CAPT'S QUARTERS with another link and a brilliant title which perfectly sums up the Leftist Lynch Mob attitude: "NO EVIDENCE; NO PROBLEM!" (This slogan is of course a cousin of FAKE, BUT ACCURATE!")
