I get it...and I don't

Mr. Dobson quelled the controversy by saying that Karl Rove, the White House's deputy chief of staff, had not given him assurances about how a Justice Miers would vote. "I would have loved to have known how Harriet Miers views Roe v. Wade," Mr. Dobson said last week. "But even if Karl had known the answer to that--and I'm certain that he didn't because the president himself said he didn't know--Karl would not have told me that. That's the most incendiary information that's out there, and it was never part of our discussion."

It might, however, have been part of another discussion. On Oct. 3, the day the Miers nomination was announced, Mr. Dobson and other religious conservatives held a conference call to discuss the nomination. One of the people on the call took extensive notes, which I have obtained. According to the notes, two of Ms. Miers's close friends--both sitting judges--said during the call that she would vote to overturn Roe.

Ok, I get it that almost EVERY politician is a hypocrite sometimes. I get it that they pander. But, what I don't get is how these particular politicians have the balls to scream about ideology not being a part of the process for SCOUTUS positions, but then make it a priority when it's in their favor. What gives? Is it really just unadulterated hubris stemming from absolute power?

I guess you're only an activist if you are a liberal-minded judge.

Oh, sweet Karma, please come soon.
