The Most Important Read of the Day

As the Dems pontificate about their righteous desire to protect the Constitution, as they rail against mainstream judges by calling them out of the mainstream (more disapprove of abortion, by the way, than approve of it), Edward Whelan's Putting Judicial Nominees in Perspective, Part III on NRO has the most shocking perspective on the confirmation debate I've read yet.

Imagine, if you will, that a Democrat President nominated a judge whose constitutional and policy views were, by any measure, on the extreme left fringes of American society.

Let’s assume, for example, that this nominee had expressed strong sympathy for the position that there is a constitutional right to prostitution as well as a constitutional right to polygamy.

Let’s say, further, that he had attacked the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts as organizations that perpetuate stereotyped sex roles and that he had proposed abolishing Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and replacing them with a single androgynous Parent’s Day.

Be sure to read on. It is amazing.
