Senate confirms right-wing blogger to powerful court

[turbinetree]

UPDATE: Bush was confirmed by a 51–47 vote.

John Bush is a lawyer who, for many years, wrote for a conservative blog under a pseudonym. He believes that “the two greatest tragedies in our country” are “slavery and abortion.” And that “public financing of campaigns” is “constitutionally dubious.” He once used an infamous slur against gay people in a speech praising his home town of Louisville.

In one blog post, which consisted largely of a single image, he appeared to suggest that deadly force is the appropriate response to Obama supporters who commit minor property crimes.

2. I didn't know to put this in the discussion format or breaking news

and now this country has a whack job as a judge and I mean this literally.

I cannot imagine if some one goes before this "judge" if he ask if you supported someone and then let the chips fall where they may.

This is not good news

This country is just so f*cked
