Tillis Visibly Shrinks in Size Next to Burr

Yesterday, Senator Richard Burr stood side by side with would-be senator Thom Tillis and said that Federal Judge Max Cogburn, who declared Amendment One unconstitutional last week, was "the most qualified" for the job, which was why he voted to confirm him to the Federal bench.

For his part, wannabe senator Tillis had earlier condemned Burr's confirmation vote by implication, by saying this: "We're in a dangerous time in this country where the president has appointed liberal activist judges -- and Sen. [Kay] Hagan has endorsed them or confirmed them -- that are literally trying the legislate from the bench."

Blah, blah, blah. Mr. Wannabe speaking the company-approved word-salad about "liberal judges," while Dick Burr -- bless his heart! -- stands by his vote.

Must have made for an awkward moment in Cary yesterday.
