OK, I admit it, I had no idea
Seriously. I had no idea how batshit insane the far right in the country is. I mean, I was born here and have lived here most of my life, but it's like I had my eyes closed. The far right is calling for President Bush not to nominate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as a supreme court justice because his views on abortion aren't hard-core enough.
Look, in his defense. Gonzales wrote the infamous "torture memo" that basically said that anything short of reducing a prisoner to boneless pile of bleeding goo is a-ok in constitutional terms. And he's not conservative enough?
I mean, Alberto Gonzales basically set the US Constitution on fire in order to justify Donald Rumsfeld's urinating on it to put out its smoldering embers. I mean, any frontal assault on the Constitution in which John Ashcroft is basically just a bystander has to be considered damned impressive.
And yet, he's not conservative enough?
God bless you conservatives. I have devoted my life to learning, and every day, I learn something new about how looney a political movement can actually be. This really is a special time for America. The cool thing is when you reduce the Constitution to a glowing fog of atoms (I assume this is the next step, right?), there sure as hell won't be any room for those goddamned activist judges to, you know, be all activist and everything
