Bush | Meanwhile, In Other News ...

Dick Cheney … you remember the Republicans, yes? … spent yesterday on the attack / counterattack (depending on your perspective), stopping in Oregon and Washington, and today heads to California and Camp Pendleton.

At an appearance Monday afternoon in Kennewick, Wash., Cheney mentioned the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, by name only once — assailing him and his Senate Democratic colleagues for “obstructionist tactics” blocking a number of Bush’s judicial nominees.

He cited a recent Democratic-led filibuster that blocked a confirmation vote on Bush’s nomination of William G. Myers III to the San Francisco-based U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — the same court, Cheney noted, that ruled that requiring the Pledge of Allegiance in schools was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion because of the words “under God.”

“Looks to me like the 9th Circuit could use some new judges,” Cheney told about 400 supporters gathered for a $250-per-plate fundraiser in Kennewick for Dino Rossi, a former state senator seeking to become the state’s first Republican governor since 1984.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.
