THE TYGRRRR EXPRESS

President Obama should immediately nominate Alcee Hastings to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left open by the retiring John Paul Stevens.

Stevens, 90, hung on to the job like a pope until George W. Bush left the White House.

Liberals will claim that since an ultra-liberal is leaving, the replacement must be an ultra-liberal. Naturally they did not feel this way when Bill Clinton nominated ACLU uber-liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg to replace conservative Byron White. The left makes up the rules as they go along, and this is one of their newer rules.

Barack Obama has shown that he has zero interest in merit, decorum, bipartisanship, or modesty. His least endearing traits are arrogance and a refusal to treat political opponents with dignity. Therefore, there is only one “qualified” nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court to cement the Obama “legacy.”

Alcee Hastings must be nominated.

Alcee Hastings is a corrupt former judge who was impeached and removed from the bench. Needing a job where corruption and a complete lack of integrity were not job requirements, he became a liberal member of Congress from Florida.

There are several reasons why Hastings is the perfect choice.

1) He is black and liberal. He cannot be criticized for any reason. Anybody that brings up his impeachment and removal is a racist.

2) Although he is not a woman, his first name is Alcee. That is close enough. The National Organization for Women is not known for doing research. Hastings supports the abortion of the month club, so they would support him. Mr. Obama will state that he support “women’s issues,” and is therefore a woman. Who can argue with someone named Alcee?

3) The right would be enraged. Yes they would be angry that Mr. Obama would again spit in the eye of the rule of law, but remember…Mr. Hastings might know somebody who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is therefore beyond reproach.

4) Bill Clinton proved that impeachment doesn’t matter. Neither does stealing documents, as Sandy Berger did. I could picture Clinton laughing and saying that Hastings was the victim of the right wing smear machine, and that his “misadventures” were “just Alcee being Alcee.”

5) Remember, Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden have long said that qualifications don’t matter. What they actually said was that judicial knowledge was not everything, and that ideology can and should be factored in to the confirmation process. Hastings is a liberal. Therefore, he has to be a legal genius.

Even by the typical mediocre standards of Barack Obama and Congress, Alcee Hastings is below the bar. So I say to heck with qualities such as intelligence, ethics, and merit. Mr. Obama has already said this, so he should prove how powerful he is. If he can get Hastings through, he truly can walk on water.

Besides, since the death of Thurgood Marshall, Mr. Obama will be under intense pressure by the Congressional Black Liberal Caucus and the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People to place a black man on the Supreme Court. Conservatives will argue that Clarence Thomas is black, but the CBLC and NAALCP do not agree with this. Being black is about liberal feelings and attitudes, not odd concepts such as pigmentation.

Again, since he is a CBLC member, they will champion him. The hags and harpies at the NOW will be too scared to object, blaming George W. Bush for the nomination.

I am tired of judges with lifetime appointments being judged by things such as knowledge of the law, judicial restraint, and honor. It is time for some good old fashioned liberal tokenism.

A corrupt, black, impeached and removed judge with a liberal voting record and a feminine sounding name is the best possible choice in the age of Obama. He is the very best possible pure and true representation of what the Democratic Party is today.

He is the anti-John Roberts. That is what the Democrats want.

Come on Mr. Obama. You know you want to do it.

Alcee Hastings and one more judge (Barney Frank perhaps) can help Mr. Obama pass any legislation he wants with zero judicial interference. Yes that would be judicial corruption, but again, I said in the beginning this man was perfect for the job.

Go, Alcee, go!
