I am seeing, thanks to ET, that this is also a pattern with the right. I don't know what is going on with AAA. He usually solid in his analysis. Lately, he seems to be in Vast Left Wing Conspiracy mode.
That's the Emperor's New Clothes view. I scan his stuff starting at top left and work my way down and I invariably find an assertion either unsupported by data, or refuted by data, within the first 10%. Granted, he likes to type, so the 10% loses some significance.
Come on, you are smarter than this. You know Roberts buckled at the last minute. It was obvious from the way the various opinions were put together. Scalia is a standup guy and is not going to be telling tales out of school. also, roberts has generally sided with him, so why needlessly alienate him? I am not a shill for republican pols. If I disagree with them, I am not afraid to say it. I have made the point many times that the House leadership despises and also fears Bachmann. They are only too happy to try to marginalize her. Boehner is a weak leader, a potential sellout waiting to happen. This epsiode illustrates why the Tea Party is so important and why they have to stick together. Do me a favor. Read the Bachmann letters and tell me if you actually think they are irresponsible. Are we at a point now where muslims are totally beyond criticism the way other PC-protected groups are?
Fair enuf, I will look directly at the information. So far, I admit that I have not done this, given Bachman's penchant for weirdness.
