You can for now, but Pelosi and company are trying to change that. The so-called "fairness" doctine is just a start. And am I the only one who thinks that "truth commisions" sounds like something out of Nazi Germany? Yet Pelosi proposed this with a straight face (OK, well her face doesn't ever really move or change expression, but you know what I mean)

The Slippery Side Of 60

Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
With Justice David Souter retiring, it's worth noting that Specter and Nelson voted for John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Specter joined Democrats years ago in opposing Robert Bork for the high court, an apostasy for which the Republican right never forgave him. (He went on to vote for Clarence Thomas.) Specter being Specter —a man with very high regard for his own legal knowledge—he'll want to be front and center for confirmation hearings. Will the leadership let him? Congratulations, Democrats, that's now up to you.
