Dingy Harry Reid: "Chief Justice Roberts Lied To Congress"
Sen. Reid: Chief Justice Roberts Lied To Congress
Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid charged Friday that Chief Justice John Roberts tricked Congress by pretending to be a moderate while he was actually a stalwart conservative.
“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second judge nominated by former President Bush to serve on the nation’s highest court.
“But we’re stuck with those two young men,” Reid continued. “And we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on.”
Reid added, “I think that will happen.”
Roberts was initially appointed to fill a vacancy on the court created by the retirement of Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
During Roberts’ confirmation, Chief Justice William Rehnquist passed away. President Bush then switched gears, nominating Roberts to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice.
The Senate confirmed Roberts as Chief Justice in September 2005 by a 78 to 22 margin. The 22 Senators who opposed Roberts’ confirmation were all Democrats.
Reid presumably would not consider himself among those who were taken in - he voted against confirming both Roberts and Alito.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Reid is walking around blind without a cane. First, Reid is an idoit. Second, Reid is an idiot!
I wonder if this has anything to do with Obama's Obama birth certificate credentials. And Barney Frank, twice accused Justice Scalia of being a homophobe. I say open the Genie Bottle regarding Obama’s Birth Certificate.

Harry Reid is a vile POS. It's mind boggeling why the people of Nevada continually elect him.

Alito was appointed after the foiled Harriet Myers appointment. We got good man in Justice alito. Even if 'Zero', gets to appoint one to replace Ruth Bussy Ginsberg, the balance will stay the same.
Reid said, he would recommend a moderate justice moderate as opposed to what, Pelosi or obama. To Reid a Socialist is a moderate.

Reid's definition of a moderate is somebody like Michelle Obama. Reid is a blubbering baby and always whining. He reminds me of the whiners on SNL many years ago. He is a dork.

Gen. Philip Sheridan said it best, about the only good one, in this case it applies to Dingy Harry.

BobF., I agree, there is one time I forget which
year it was but he almost did not win. I forget
who he was running against that almost beat
him. There was a ray of hope, but then in the
end he won. waaaa
