Federal Judiciary

A Confirmthem Blogger Goes on Sabbatical

By AndrewHyman

Here's a link to Senator McCain's very gracious and moving concession speech. He said: "I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here." The present difficulties are grave, and they have virtually nothing to do with economics, in my opinion. But that issue is what decided the election, so there you have it.

It's been an honor volunteering at this web site. As Senator McCain pointed out, nothing is inevitable in this country, so please don't give up hope that truth and justice will ultimately prevail if we keep at it. The election of an African-American president is testament enough that wrongs can be righted, even wrongs endorsed by that new president.

Congratulations to President George W. Bush on some fine judicial appointments, and to Senator John McCain for running a valiant campaign. And congratulations to the other bloggers and commenters at this site who have tried to give them some support.

And with that, I'll take leave of blogging at this site for the foreseeable future. I hope to return at such time as a new president nominates judges who have a solid record of supporting the rule of law instead of the rule of men, and who understand the grave damage done when judges exercise power without authority. Cheers.
