How bad are they?

How bad are they?

Well...

WASHINGTON (AP) - If there is a Supreme Court vacancy this summer, President Bush may look no farther than the Capitol for a member of Congress who can be confirmed quickly. Past presidents have done it, more than two dozen times.

While admittedly long shots, GOP Sens. Jon Kyl of Arizona and John Cornyn of Texas are being talked up by some conservatives as possible nominees for the high court.

Kyl and Cornyn. Funny how those names keep popping up today...

Twenty two Senate Republicans (out of fifty five) decided to cosponsor anti-lynching legislation... as compared to 38 out of 45 Democrats. Yep, that's right. A full forty percent of Republicans in the Senate wanted to go on record as being strongly opposed to lynching blacks!

When it became too late to be a sponsor, and it became obvious that the legislation would pass, even more legislators signed a document indicating their support for the legislation.

Several members of the Senate did not sign this document or sponsor the legislation, however.

They include:

Jim Bunning (R - Kentucky)
Conrad Burns (R- Montana)
Saxby Chambliss (R - Georgia)
Thad Cochran (R - Mississippi)
John Cornyn (R- Texas)
James Inhofe (R- Oklahoma)
Johnny Isakson (R - Georgia)
Jon Kyl (R- Arizona)
Trent Lott (R - Mississippi)
Mitch McConnell (R- Kentucky)
Jeff Sessions (R- Alabama)
Richard Shelby (R - Alabama)

Apparently they're bad enough to think the best of their worst...
