Chafee -- come on, is he really such an asset to the GOP????

Ann Coulter hits this out of the park.

It seems as though the GOP has collective amnesia about what the hottest issue was in the last two elections -- judicial nominations. What in the world do they think the value voters got out and voted for? The gay marriage issue was a sub-issue to the whole judicial nominations subject, for heavens sake. It was all about judges. And we won.

Now, in the face of the all important third nomination to the Supreme Court, the GOP pivots, abandons the base and decides that judges are not, in fact, the issue that will get out the base. They have yet to find what the issue is that will get out the base, but they are making a good faith effort.....testing messages and watching them bounce off like ping pong balls.

Got a clue for them -- this is a forty year project. To abandon it at the pinnacle of true, lasting change is galactically stupid. A mistake from which we may never recover.

Nonetheless, Ann does a good job in her column describing the incredibly inexcusable votes of Chafee on Supreme Court justices Roberts and Alito and the nonsensical explanations Chafee has given for his votes.
