Senator Kennedy Wants Alito to Do Something About Asthma

Posted by Eric at 3:55 pm. Filed under: Courts / Legal, Samuel A. Alito

Can this be true?

According to Senator Kennedy, more kids have asthma in this country thanks to air and water pollution. Which is something that may or may not be true, but what I found interesting was the way Kennedy wound down his tantrum, asking in a sincere and breathless tone just what Alito would do, as a Supreme Court Justice, to stem this asthma scourge.

Can it really be possible that someone who has been a U.S. Senator for decades is this patently obtuse when it comes to the role of the Supreme Court in American government? Because the last time I checked Supreme Court Justices didn’t write environmental policy. Instead, they rule as to whether or not laws written by state and federal legislators are, in fact, in keeping with our Constitution.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but this is something I learned in the sixth grade.

LifeTrek thinks that Kennedy may in fact be part of the problem. If you haven’t read “Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed” you need to. It dovetails perfectly with LifeTrek’s comment.

  2. Ya know, I’ve realized that Lefties tend to look to the government as God, but even I was surprised to learn that Kennedy thinks the Supreme Court can cure asthma.

  3. Kennedy, Ried, Kerry, and Hillary Filibuster Fails

    Ted Kennedy needs some of that chappaquiddick water to cool him off after having a tantrum on the Senate floor today. He was having a fit over the failure of himself along with Senator Kerry and others who wanted to filibuster the confirmation vote o…
