Denying A Federal Judicial Appointment=Slavery

Well in Leader La-La land that appears to be the argument. So the next time there is a Democratic President and they appoint a liberal African-American or Latino any opposition will be based on their race and not ideology, right?

I didn’t think so.

Really this whole line of argument needs to be declared dead by a corrolary to Godwin’s Law:

Godwin’s Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin’s Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin’s Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

In this case making ridiculous arguments that compare a fight over ideology to slavery should just be ruled as forfeiting the argument.
