John Kennedy Draws The Line At Ghost Hunting
Someone's actually showing some backbone on this judicial nominee.
What do you know? A GOP senator has broken with the administration in the blind drive to pack the courts with ideologues, no matter how unqualified. Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, a decidedly different kind of politician than the president of the same name, has never walked away from a right wing talking point, but he’s finally drawn a line in the sand when it comes to the federal judiciary. Kennedy announced that he’ll vote against Brett Talley.
You remember Talley, right? The 36-year-old ghost hunter and staunch defender of the “first KKK” patiently awaiting his rubber stamp appointment to the federal bench. He’s become something of a bellwether for just how low this Senate will go to pack the courts. Finally someone has decided “ghost hunter” is that bridge too far. It’s the least Kennedy could do as a public servant.
The absolute, bare minimum least.
