Uncle Teddy - Unhinged and updated with video link

Michelle Malkin live-blogs Kennedy courting an aneurysm over Alito, with some really strange historical revisionist sh*t (rough quote)

Abraham Lincoln pointed the way and we passed the 13th, 14th, 15th amendment and had a civil war. But we didn't resolve this issue. It was only 'til we had the courage of those members of what branch of government? Not the US Congress. Not the US Senate. Not the executive. The Judiciary! The 5th Circuit! (Screaming again.)

We're talking now about the Supreme Court. But they are the ones who changed this country inevitably with what we call the march to progress. The march towards knocking down the walls of discrimination that permitted us to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act and public accomodations so people who's skin was not white who could go into restaurants and hotels. Public accomodations. The '65 act for voting. Voting rights. The '68 act. The public accomodations. The 1973 act that said that women are going to treated equally. The Americans with Disabilities Act that said that the disabled are going to be part of the American family.

All of that is part of the march for progress.

And my friends, the one organization, the one institution that protects it is THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES!!! (Screaming at the top of his lungs.)

Uh. No. It was The People who brought about Civil rights, sometimes inspite of SCOTUS ... or did Kennedy get tossed out of Harvard BEFORE they discussed Plessy v. Ferguson?

Neither Martin Luther King nor Mary Jo Kopechne had any comment.

UPDATE Video link to Uncle Teddy's "performance" here. Even the voting equivalent of a pity fuck doesn't explain why this certifible male still gets re-elected. Someone, 5150 him. Now.

- Quite aside from the twisted revisionist view of things, two very clear ideas of leftist thinking stick out like a sore thumb in this public bambostic rant by Kennedrunk...

1) the courts are ment to be a tool of the party in power to legislate with..... screw the Constitution... and hell yes we hate majority rule....

2) The left continue merrily along trying to insert themselves in the civil rights movement as if they really had any part in it, other than obstructionism, very similarly to what you saw today. Almost every bit of the actual civil rights legislation passed in the early 60's was done by Republican Congressmen, owing to the fact that the Dems were MIA, afraid to vote for the bills for fear of totally alienating their racists constituents back home. Even took a Republican President sending in the National guard to force the southern Democratic Governors to capitulate and honor the laws....So knowing that, wtf is he talking about?
