The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

Tomorrow, after Samuel Alito is confirmed, Senator Sam Brownback will be a participant in a GOP news conference discussing the outcome. Expect him to attempt to use the pulpit to his full advantage. Now that the Supreme court is full, Brownback will have a tougher time garnering media attention.

Personally, I don’t think he performed as well as he needed to during the hearings. Brownback had an opportunity to introduce himself to the American people and yet he couldn’t muster anything that got their attention. His other large issue is Iran, and I expect him to ramp up the rhetoric in the coming weeks and months. If he can maneuver himself into a position of expertise on Iran he can keep himself on the stage. With the Iranian government appearing more psycho by the moment, he might just get the chance.
Looming in the background is the anti gay marriage amendment. It is not clear when (or if) this will be brought to the full senate, but Brownback would also be the leader of that crusade.
