Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D"u" - Mass, The Duke of Chappaquiddick)

"No one has an automatic right to a lifetime position on the Supreme Court. A nominee to the high court must first demonstrate that he has a core commitment to constitutional rights and liberties. He must show that he is in the mainstream of modern judicial thought and that he would not use an ideologically motivated interpretation of our Constitution or laws to reverse the hard-fought gains we have made to make this nation more just."

**No one's asking for an "automatic" anything, Teddy.........All we want is an 'up-or-down vote'. --> Can we just get that, you fat, drunk, murdering, bastard?**
