Right Wing Follows Deceptive Script On Supreme Court

Right wing leaders sacrifice claims to credibility
with dishonest, discredited attacks on Obama and potential nominees

All you really need to know about the Right’s credibility in ten words or less

A day after news of Justice Souter’s planned resignation broke in the news, “dozens” of right-wing leaders representing more than 60 groups got together for a strategy call organized in part by the Judicial Confirmation Network to get everyone fired up and on message. All you need to know about the credibility of this campaign’s leaders, and the credibility of their evaluations of potential nominees, is contained in this one sentence from the Judicial Confirmation Network’s Wendy Long:

“The current Supreme Court is a liberal, judicial activist court.” (RWW May 1)

Anyone who has remotely followed the steady rightward drift of the Court over the past couple of decades knows how ludicrous this statement is.
