Talking out his @#$%!

I turned on the TV and there was Mark Smith, author of Disrobed: The New Battle Plan to Break the Left’s Stranglehold on the Courts, talking on C-SPAN 2’s Book TV:

I say it’s time that we use litmus tests, too, as opposed to just running around with phrases like “respecting the rule of law,” “respecting the constitution” which I think, those are too ambiguous and too vague to give any meaning to what we’re looking for in judges.

I might balk at the notion that we have a stranglehold if I wasn’t so flummoxed by the clear implication that this baby-faced author sees no need to respect the law or abide by the constitution.
