Do as I say not as I did

Continuing along the lines of Terry's post about Senator Sessions let us examine the Race Baiter In Chief's record as far as his behavior as a Senator towards Supreme Court nominees.

From the AP: With the Senate returning next week from recess, Obama said he hopes it begins the confirmation process without delay and he expects his nominee to be on the bench when the Supreme Court begins its new term in October.

In the interim, Obama said he expects “rigorous evaluation” of his nominee but added: “What I hope is that we can avoid the political posturing and ideological brinksmanship that has bogged down this process, and Congress, in the past.”

Was he referring to his own behavior as a Senator when he mentioned the past?

From the Chicago Tribune 2006: Jan. 30–WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama said he would vote Monday to filibuster Judge Samuel Alito’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, but he conceded the effort would be futile and criticized Democrats for failing to persuade Americans to take notice of the court’s changing ideological face.
Did I just read "ideological face"? Quick look back to his recent quote about "ideological brinkmanship". I guess it takes one to know one.

Senator Barry stated that both Roberts and Alito were qualified and had impeccable credentials yet he voted against both of them. He even voted in favor of filibustering Alito. Was he not politically posturing?

So please don't give me any more BS posts about Senators voting against Sotomayer. Her beliefs and rulings are in question. She stated at a legal forum at Duke University that "The court of appeals is where policy is made". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfC99LrrM2Q
What? This statement shows a radical view of the role of the judiciary that is certainly not supported by the US Constitution. Given her membership in a racist organization, her racist statements and rulings and her view of the role of the court, nobody needs to defend a no vote of this nominee. The only good thing is that she is replacing another non qualified jusice in Souter who only got on the court because he didn't smoke marijuana. Remember he was like the third choice for the first President Bush at the time.
