Imagine a world where that same Teddy Kennedy is a proponent of a Supreme Court candidates ability to "defer any comments on any matters"...
It wasn't that long ago that those were EXACTLY the positions held by ole' Teddy...
You see, that's the problem whenever you express your opinions on issues as important as these...usually the cameras are rolling...the mikes are near your mouth...the reporters are writing down what you are saying...word-for-word...
CNS News has video footage of Kennedy THEN -- in 1967 -- stating for the cameras: "We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters, which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court," Kennedy said during the 1967 press conference. "This has been a procedure which has been followed in the past and is one which I think is based upon sound legal precedent."
And Kennedy TODAY...saying the federal judge "will be expected to answer fully" any questions about his views on controversial issues...
Watch the video...He - Kennedy - says it himself...
And...then...there's this LETTER...
Kennedy was responding to someone about abortion...he was PRO-LIFE then...
"The same Ted Kennedy who once championed the rights of the unborn now champions the right of a doctor to jam a scissor into the skull of an infant who is 80-percent born," said William Donohue, president of the Catholic League. "Sadly for him, history will look back at this era and recognize that he didn't care enough about human beings to take responsibility for children from the very moment of conception."
Flip-flop...flip-flop...flippity-flop...
Guess that's the sound of Teddy Kennedy walking down the aisle?
