The Conservative Buckeye

With a bust in the balance, Kentucky’s governor is siding with Colonel Sanders over Pamela Anderson.Gov. Ernie Fletcher wrote the “Stacked” actress to say a bust of the KFC founder will stay in the Kentucky Capitol, despite Anderson’s claim that Sanders is a symbol of cruelty to chickens.

“Colonel Sanders remains a Kentucky icon,” Fletcher wrote last week. “His success story has been an inspiration to many. The industry he began has employed hundreds of thousands of workers over the years. His business and his legacy have been good for Kentucky.”

Anderson has been involved in a public relations campaign with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to raise awareness of what she calls abuse of chickens in processing plants that supply poultry to the Louisville-based chicken chain.

The Judiciary Committee favorably recommended Samuel Alito’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate on a party-line vote Tuesday, moving the conservative jurist one step closer to joining the high court.

All 10 Republicans voted for Alito, while all eight Democrats voted against him. The partisan vote was almost preordained, with 15 of the 18 senators announcing their votes even before the committee’s session began.

The full Senate expects to take a final vote on Alito’s nomination before the end of the week. That vote is also expected to follow along party lines, with only one Democrat — Ben Nelson of Nebraska — coming out so far in support of Alito. Republicans hold the balance of power in the Senate 55-44, with one independent.

Senate Republicans say Alito is a good choice for the nation’s highest court.

“Like America’s founders, Judge Alito clearly believes in self-government, that the people and not judges should make law, and that judges have an important role but must know and stay in their proper place,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch (news, bio, voting record), R-Utah.

But Democrats are fretting that the 55-year-old jurist and former lawyer for the Reagan administration will swing the court to the right and help overturn precedent-setting decisions like Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court’s abortion rights case, although he refused to talk about that decision at his confirmation hearing.

they arent conservative.

A good Conservative, The Ohio State University, A well prepared meal, and a good show on the boob tube.

I hate Liberal Democrats, I hate U. of Michigan, I hate bad food and/or service at restaraunts, And I hate when a good T.V. show gets cancelled.
