Media Matters Skewers Brownback

Media Matters catches an inconsistancy in Brownback’s opening statement in the Alito hearings and a statement of his made during the Miers nomination:

Following the first day of Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s Supreme Court nomination hearing, The Washington Post reported that Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) said, “The idea that there are spots on the Supreme Court reserved for certain ideologies is a falsehood. Seats on the bench are not reserved for causes or interests.” But the Post failed to note that Brownback made contradictory remarks last October, when he reportedly said he would consider voting against former Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers over the question of her willingness to revisit Roe v. Wade.

They go on to quote Brownback from a few months ago:

“Brownback said his biggest concern was not knowing where she [Harriet Miers] stood on ‘key issues of the day,’ such as abortion, same-sex marriage and property rights.”

Busted. A comment about a certain type of beach footwear might be in order here, but I’ll refrain.

Thanks to Terry at Nitpicker for the tip.
