So we in looking around at the AP wire [1], we see Ted Kennedy has made his
[2] pronouncement:
“I therefore intend to oppose this nomination,” Kennedy said in remarks prepared for the Senate floor. “Judge Mukasey appears to be a careful, conscientious and intelligent lawyer, and he has served our country honorably for many years. But those qualities are not enough for this critical position at this critical time.”
Oooohh… big news. I’m sure we’ve been waiting a long time to find out Teddy’s position on this.
Look, cut to the chase, guys… when was the last time Kennedy DIDN’T oppose… loudly… ANY Republican nominee?
