Democrats Demand Justice Just Like Rehnquist
by Scott Ott
(2005-09-05) -- Just hours after the death of William H. Rehnquist, Senate Democrats demanded that President George Bush nominate a replacement whose ideology and judicial philosophy match that of the late Supreme Court justice.
'When Sandra Day O'Connor retired, we insisted Bush appoint a centrist to replace her and maintain the balance on the court,' said one unnamed Senator. 'Now, we demand that the president name a right-wing, conservative, originalist to replace Rehnquist for that same reason.'
The Senator explained that balance is the most important feature of the high court, trumping ideology, logic and the intent of the framers of the constitution.
'As much as we'd like to have another lefty like [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg, we must maintain balance,' the anonymous legislator intoned. 'Even if it means overturning Roe v. Wade, we Democrats shall remain true to our principles.'
