Young Cons Rap

Young Conservatives rap about being a young and conservative in the Obama era: "I debate any poser who don't shoot straight/government spending needs to deflate" ... "We need more women with intellectual integrity/I'm talkin, Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi" ... "Superman that socialism, waterboard that terrorism"

Needless to say, political rap has historically been liberally aligned. What would KRS-One and Young Jeezy say?

Leahy On Sotomayor In 1998

From the C-SPAN video library: in what might be a preview of the confirmation process to come, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), now chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, speaks on the Senate floor in 1998 to support Sonia Sotomayor's nomination as a U.S. Appeals Court judge.

In the video, Leahy suggests Republicans had opposed Sotomayor for fear that President Clinton would appoint her to the U.S. Supreme Court if a vacancy arose.
