Jabba Speaks

Ted “Jabba the Hut” Kennedy issued these words of advice to President Bush with regard to his proposal for replacement of Sandra Day O’Connor :

"If the president abuses his power and nominates someone who threatens to roll back the rights and freedoms of the American people, then the American people will insist that we oppose that nominee -- and we intend to do so," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat and member of the Judiciary Committee, said.

Let me remind Senator Jabba of what is said in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, of the US Constitution regarding Federal Judicial Appointments:

“Clause 2: He (the President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Clause 3: The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session. “

Further, let me remind old red nose that the American people have elected a conservative Republican Senate and given a Republican President a second term. I think that a majority of the American people are insisting THAT THEY DON'T GIVE A TINKER'S DAMN WHAT TED KENNEDY THINKS, except possibly in Boston and a few other radical liberal pockets in the state of Massachusetts.

Jabba, er…I mean Teddy…in my opinion you are a miserable shadow of your two brothers John and Robert, you are a murderer, a miserable drunken sot, and a total ignoramus when it comes to constitutional matters.

There is an old adage I’d like to remind Ted Kennedy of: Better to keep your mouth closed and let people think that you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
