To whom they are beholden...

Interesting article today by Byron York in NRO about democrat plans for the supreme court. A lot of points about strategy, current and future. Now, these points were not at all what I found to be interesting, standard blah from the left, but from WHOM these points were being relayed. Take for instance, asked about the possibility for filibuster on the next nominee the source "told reporters it was too early to think about that". And another, when pressed about obstruction efforts for the next justice the source responds,
I think there will be even more of an effort if there is someone in the mold of Thomas and Scalia in the next vacancy, and of course in the next vacancy you're talking about a swing justice.
So, who is this phantom source? Harry Reid, or perhaps some other senator, you know someone who actually is part of that advise and consent thing? Not at all, the source for this entire article was Ralph Neas, head of "People for the American Way", a liberal lobbyist group. It's good to know that Neas didn't hide from the fact that the dem senators get their marching orders from the lobbyists as opposed to you know, the folks whom they represent.
