My last candle of Republican hope has burned out...

I figured if McCain wasn't too ancient to make another desperate grasp for Supreme Commander and Avenger of Imagined Injustices, then neither was Orrin Hatch. He looks crotchety but he's always seemed to make sense to me. Apparently he's been eating the wacky brownies at GOP Cloak and Dagger meetings as well.

Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah says Obama's comment last week about naming a justice who understands Americans' problems and has empathy for people is "code" for putting in place a person who legislates from the bench.

Hatch says he realizes the president will choose a more liberal person for the opening created by Justice David Souter's retirement. Hatch, a top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he expects the nominee to favor abortion rights.

Hatch spoke Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Code??? Empathy is a code word?? I hear it all the time at church, Orrin, and it means "Do unto others as you would have them, do unto you." I'm pretty sure God figured you'd all be smart enough that he didn't need to make a commandment that said "Thou shalt not waterboard."
WROOOOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Orrin after church today, how about we look in the scriptures to see what the code word is for making up lies to sell a war and torture God's children. I suggest you start with "Bear False Witness". You don't let Atheists in to your little club, do you Orrin? They don't know how to interpret God's words and the Constitution to allow you to get political revenge and commit murder.

Oh and verbal diarrhea on Sunday morning talk shows does not equal Church. Come to MY Sunday School class Orrin, I double dog dare you.
