Interesting that Senator Kyl wants to filibuster Obama's appointments for Supreme Court judge. One: Obama is not the President yet. Two: No one knows who Obam will choose. Third: Obama taught consitutional law. So, I sure that he will choose the right person as judge. I suggest Obama will choose a conservative judge that is fair in which both political parties will agree on. We shall see.
Jon Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate, warned president-elect Barack Obama that he would filibuster U.S. Supreme Court appointments if those nominees were too liberal.
Kyl, Arizona’s junior senator, expects Obama to appoint judges in the mold of U.S Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter and Stephen Breyer. Those justices take a liberal view on cases related to social, law and order and business issues, Kyl said.
“He believes in justices that have empathy,” said Kyl, speaking at a Federalist Society meeting in Phoenix. The attorneys group promotes conservative legal principles.
Kyl said if Obama goes with empathetic judges who do not base their decisions on the rule of law and legal precedents but instead the factors in each case, he would try to block those picks via filibuster.Read on.
