Santorum & Biden on MTP
Sens. Rick Santorum (my home Senator) & Joe Biden (the Senator where I go to school) were just on Meet the Press. They jauntily went through many topics, from Social Security to the judiciary to 2008.
Biden says that he would oppose Antonin Scalia for Cheif Justice because "he interprets the Constitution in a way fundimentally different [from me]." This is outrageous. He admitted Scalia was qualified for the job, and that's the only requirement! Santorum should have pounced on him for that! It is that kind of obstructionist mentality that holds up judicial nominees, and makes the minority Senators believe that they can choose appointess by opposing ones they disagree with!
On 2008, Santorum said he is running for reelection in Pennsylvania in 2006, but qualified with a never say never. Biden said he wanted to run, "because the stakes are so high," but isn't sure he can beat Hillary, who is 'electable.'

Other MTP notes:
- Maureen Dowd still calls Bush a liar about Iraq
- Tom Friedman likens Operation: Iraqi Freedom to a change not seen in the Middle East "since Napoleon invaded Egypt."
