Stevens and Stupak: Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out

Today, there were two big announcements coming from the world of politics.

The phony pro-life, Democrat congressman from Michigan, Bart Stupak announced his retirement. In addition, Justice John Paul Stevens announced his retirement from the United States Supreme Court.

Now while most of my focus in this posting will be in regards to the retirement of Justice Stevens, I cannot ignore Stupak's departure from the House of Representatives.

With his support and vote for Obamacare, Stupak absolutely lost any and all credibility as a "pro-life" Democrat. By yielding to the threats of Obama and Pelosi, this man removed his mask, revealing to the world that he was fully in favor of taxpayer funding slaughtering the unborn.

You will bear the responsibility for the deaths of an untold number of souls.

I sincerely hope you are not foolish enough to use the same tortured attempts to justify your decision to your Maker as those you attempted to give your constituents. Moreover, I hope your thirty pieces of silver were worth the cost.

Happy trails, Bart!
The retirement of Justice Stevens was a gift to the country.

Yes, I realize that the president will appoint another liberal to fill his spot on the Court. That is not good news; but it will present no change in political balance.

However, the good news is this:

In their desire to fill this position with another liberal, Democrats in Washington will have to devote much of their time to winning his successor's confirmation. They dare not risk waiting until after the next election.

This is great news!

By devoting their energies to replacing Stevens, Democrats will have to use their majority to seat his replacement on the Court. This will in turn slow down the pushing of their liberal agenda.

If Republicans have any brains whatsoever, then they will take this opportunity to fillibuster Stevens' successor. The longer that the GOP can drag out these hearings, the less items that Democrats will be able to get through Congress.

This is a golden opportunity for the GOP to slow down the Marxist assault on our Republic!

The time is now. Let's pray that they are smart enough to use it.
