Fact Checking The Sunday Shows - April 11, 2010
Sunday's political talk shows focused squarely on the newest opening on the Supreme Court, but guests also discussed the Nuclear Posture Review and its impact on foreign policy. Sen. Lamar Alexander appeared on Fox News Sunday to continue the Republican misrepresentation of President Obama's criteria for Supreme Court nominees, ignoring the fact that "empathy" has been seen in the past as a qualification for the high court by Republicans and Democrats alike. Later, Sen. Alexander claimed that last week's Nuclear Posture Review "takes away the ambiguity about our use of nuclear power" and implied it will prevent America from using nuclear weapons against Iran and North Korea. Neither statement is true. Finally, Rep. Michele Bachmann used her appearance on Fox News Sunday to repeat her misleading claim that the health care reform package passed last month is a "government takeover" of the medical and student loan industries.

Rep. Bachmann Accuses Obama Of Trading Judicial Nomination For Health Care Support
During an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live" last night, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) accused President Obama of trading judicial nominations for votes in favor of health care reform. Specifically, Bachmann suggested that Obama nominated Rep. Jim Matheson's (D-UT) brother to the U.S. Court of Appeals in order to win the congressman's support for reform. However, Bachmann's allegation is undermined by the fact that prominent conservatives from Utah have praised the nomination.
