With all the recent rhetoric from the political left about a judicially conservative judge being out of the mainstream, it strikes me as a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black.
As I watched some of the Senate Intelligence Committee meetings today it struck me how out of the mainstream the Democrats and their special interest group constituents truly are. In correlation with the hearings for justice Alito, they maintain their advance in the face of popular consensus. The public, by a 2-1 margin in even the partisan polls, supported Justice Alito. The public, by a slightly smaller margin, agrees that the president has the legal authority to use his NSA program to keep Americans safe.
Despite the attempts by General Hayden and AG Gonzales to outline that this program does not nor will it extend to "domestic" surveillance, the democrats on the committee still accuse the president of "spying on innocent Americans". It has been made very clear that any "domestic" surveillance has been routed through the proper entity, ie: the FISA courts. And yet the senators insist that AG Gonzales and the president have used the program to "search peoples homes", "opened their mail", and "listened in on their private phone and email conversations" despite a complete lack of evidence to support it.
Not one individual has come forward claiming to have had their fourth amendment rights violated. So I ask you...who is out of the mainstream? My own view based on their complete inability to listen to the facts and interpret them...would be the Democrats and their far left special interest groups.
