Re: Harry Reid Calls John Roberts a Liar
The Corner on National Review Online — Friday, March 27, 2009 [image] Re: Harry Reid Calls John Roberts a Liar [Ed Whelan] Kathryn : Harry Reid voted against John Roberts s nomination to be Chief Justice.

Unfortunately, Reid has a long history of reckless and irresponsible statements. Recall Reid s baseless ...

Hairy Reid: Misled or Misleading?
Southern Appeal — “ John Roberts misled the Senate .” Coming from a Senator who initially voted against his confirmation anyway, this is simply a stupid statement. Reid offers no evidence at all to support his claim that the Chief Justice of the United States is a liar. I would suggest that, being a member of a Congress that consistently misleads the American People, Senator Reid would not know the truth if it slapped him in the face.

Reid: Nuclear Option for Me But Not for Thee
Weekly Standard Blog — ... pretty good job. Let's just move forward. If Republicans want to filibuster a judge, that's directly contrary to what they said their political philosophy is. But I guess it's all subject to change. I think that what they did to President Clinton's judges was a dark point in the history of our country, and I would hope we would not have to go through that again. It's going to be a little different now because we have a lot more numbers than we did then. Reid then took a shot at Chief Justice John Roberts. It's not entirely clear why ...

This is exactly what they did to the Clinton health care plan in 1993 and how the abomination of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was created.
