Orrin Hatch Says He Will Support Obama Judicial Nominee

By The Huffington Post News Editors

WASHINGTON — An influential Republican senator says he intends to support President Barack Obama‘s choice to fill a vacancy on the federal appeals court in Washington.

Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah told Sri Srinivasan (SREEN-i-vah-san) at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday that he would make a “great” judge on the D.C. Circuit. At another point, Hatch told Srinivasan, “I think you’re terrific.”

HUFFPOST HILL – CPAC: Like SXSW But Even More Pointless

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Today was the first day of CPAC, the incredibly influential conference that has tremendous bearing on CPAC. Vice President Biden launched a new audio blog called “Being Biden” that regrettably isn’t recorded in the third person. And MSNBC’s Chris Hayes is moving to primetime. Presumably he’ll change the name of his show, “Up With Chris Hayes,” to “You Probably Don’t Care About The First Few Innings Of That Game, Anyway With Chris Hayes.” This is HUFFPOST HILL for Thursday, March 14th, 2013:

BOB CORKER: REPUBLICANS RULE, DEMOCRATS DROOL – After his conference met with President Obama today, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker told Mike McAuliff that the difference between meeting Democrats and Republicans is like the splitscreen meal from “Annie Hall”… and Republicans are Diane Keaton’s family: “I would suspect that if you asked the president which luncheons he enjoyed the most, I would say he enjoyed — by far! — the Republican luncheons. There was a tone of respect, and I think he senses, even though there are differences politically and policy-wise, I think he senses a sincere desire to make something happen. I think the Democratic meetings were a little more raucous than ours was.”

Earlier, in Obama-GOP bromanceOrrin Hatch in January, per Mike McAuliff: “The president doesn’t seem to ever get really involved. I like him personally. We’re friends. We talk to each other in nice ways, and not because we have to, because we like each other. Or at least I like him. I don’t know if he likes me anymore. He seems to. He calls me Orrin.”

Obama’s Outrages

By Michael Oberndorf

Angry Obama SC Obamas Outrages

As if it isn’t glaringly obvious, the America-Destroyer-in-Chief has ramped up his attacks exponentially since he got away with the massive voter fraud that gave him the election. He’s continued his policy of nominating far-left, incompetent crooks and extremists to important positions of power, a policy that couldn’t work without the complicity and connivance of the Republican Establishment. And that is just for starters.

The tactic of nominating America-hating radicals has resulted in Sonia Sotomayor (a racist and radical feminist) and Elena Kagan (a probable lesbian, radical feminist, and political hack as justices of the Supreme Court); avowed communist Van Jones as “Green Jobs Czar”; radical wackos Cass Sunstein and John Holdren; and dozens of other “Czars” – a total of 45 of ‘em – sticking their noses and greedy leftist fingers into the people’s business and getting paid $158,000 per year and up of the taxpayers’ money to do it. The Republican Establishment has done nothing to rid us of these unconstitutional human monkey wrenches. The silence has been deafening.

To make bad worse, one of these “Czars,” John Brennan, who at best is an Islamist extremist sympathizer and promoter and at worst is a genuine closet radical Muslim, was just approved as new head of the CIA by the spineless parasites in what used to be the United States Senate, but now is just a rubber-stamp for the Marxist in the White House. Voting for this disaster-in-the-making were some of the usual dither-and-cave RINOs – John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bob Corker (R-TN), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Dan Coats (R-IN), and Richard Burr (R-NC). But joining this shameful throng were some supposed conservatives – Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Tea Party heroes Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Rubio and Flake also voted to confirm traitor John Kerry as Secretary of State of Disarray, as did all but three Republicans. Only four Republicans voted to confirm leftist Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Surrender, but one of them was the Great Conservative Hope, Rand Paul (R-KY). Paul and Flake also voted to confirm Jack Lew, the originator of the Sequester, as Head Looter…er…um…Treasury Secretary (FYI, Ted Cruz of Texas is the only Senator who has voted No on all of Obama’s nominations). Orrin Hatch was quoted as saying, “I am bending over backwards to show deference to the president’s nomination, and I hope that doesn’t go unnoticed”; and this seems to sum up the “thinking” of Republicans in the Senate.

Taking their cues from the Fraud in the White House, Kerry and unindicted felon Eric Holder both pushed the outrage envelope even further. The State of Disarray Department, in cahoots with Michelle Obama, was caught trying to give the prestigious International Woman of Courage award to Samira Ibrahim, a known anti-American and anti-Semitic activist from Egypt. When this was exposed, they backed off and withdrew the offer – for now. And Eric Holder had to be brow-beaten into conceding that murdering …read more
