Note to Howard -- You have to WIN to appoint judges, pal.

My quote in response to Howard Dean's "off the meds" quotation this morning in the Washington Post threatening a filibuster if the President nominates Priscilla Owen or Janice Rogers Brown.

"It would appear that the extreme left has yanked the fundraising choke chain on Howard Dean. That's the only rational explanation for his irrational statements regarding the President's next pick for the Supreme Court," said Kay Daly, president, Coalition for a Fair Judiciary. "Apparently Howard Dean does not recall that the American people have utterly rejected the Democrats' obstruction of judicial nominations in the last several elections. It would appear that the consequences of losing those elections is lost on the DNC chairman and his puppetmasters on the Left. Memo to Howard: You have to WIN the presidency to be on the nomination side of the equation."
