A Response to Sen. Kennedy by Jeffrey Lord

Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator delivers a passionate response to an editorial by Senator Edward Kennedy in Sunday's Washington Post. In his editorial, Senator Kennedy accuses Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito of misleading the Senate Judiciary Committee about the influence of their political ideology in their judicial philosophy and decisions. He laments how Republicans allegedly have undermined the integrity of the judicial nomination process and calls for reforms

Lord's response brings light to what Kennedy did not reveal and strikes at the heart of his "honorable" 43 years of service on the Judiciary Committee. He notes that it was Kennedy who, during the confirmation hearings of Robert Bork, initiated tactics to delay the process, to attack the nominee's character and to label conservative judges as "out of the mainstream." Lord's suggestion for reform for Kennedy: "How about resigning from the Senate Judiciary Committee?"

As for Kennedy's accusations that Roberts and Alito were deceptive in their responses to his questions regarding the Voting Rights Act and the equality of the branches of government, Matthew Franck reveals Kennedy's deceptive use of quotations taken out of context here.
