Don't worry Joey. The Supreme Court is gonna veer HARD RIGHT with the Reinquist replacement in the next year. Then we'll see who is laughing.

I just looked at the USA Today Wednesday edition and in the editorial section they squeezed the picture of Bush and Roberts to make their heads look compressed. Liberals use every dirty trick in the book. People are slowly getting sick of their b.s. because guys like me and tens of thousands like me are pointing out the mean-spiritedness of the party.

I hope Roe v Wade gets over-turned. Not because I am in favor of that but more for the pure piss-off value it would have. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, and if you guys want a war, we'll bring it baby. Count on that!

Back to your post, it was pretty funny.

The ONLY problem I have is that we should be respecting the office of the Presidency and that guy (do I dare say gal) should be off limits, whoever it is.

I need to find some pictures of Slick Willy's penis nose. That will make me feel better.

You just said, in essence, that it has nothing to do with what it best for the country, or what the proper intrepretation of the constitution is, but all about us vs them. Maybe this is part of why GW hasnt had better then a 50% job approval rating in 18 months SOURCE

I dont know much about Judge Roberts yet, so im reserving my personal opinion. I do know some very powerful groups are lining up against him already, and there are 15 republican senators that face re-election next year. Dont think that they wont be attacked directly but these groups and possibly lose their seats. Dont think the Republican Senators wont consider this when deciding upon his nomination.

But I will point out this.. Many Supreme Court nominees were suppose to be this or that, and end up the opposite.

We shouldnt politicize the High Court nominees like this. We shouldnt be looking for a conservative or a liberal to fill such vacancies. There is too much at stake. Civil rights, womens rights, gay rights, free speech and all the other important things dealt with by the court are too important. The supreme court is the ultimate guardian of FREEDOM and the Constitution. Dont turn it into another "us vs them" tool.

I can tell you that I will do all I can to make Rep Henry Hyde's seat a Democratic Seat after his retirement in 2006.

BTW - I dont think you realize - republicans have nothing to gain by the replacement of O'Connor or Reinquist (should he need to be replaced)

Both are conservative federalists - Dont count your chickens Bryan - you might just possibly end up swinging the Court more left....

I disagree with that statement - partially. O'Connor has turned out to be a slightly moderate judge, sometimes swinging left of center (case in point: The Kentucky Ten Commandments Decision). I am pleased that Roberts was chosen. He appears to be more of a strict constructionist.

OH - funny pic Joey. LOL.

Yes - she is a tad more central then Justice Rehnquist - but not much...

In her first term, she sided with Justice Rehnquist in 27 of the 31 decisions decided by 5-4 votes, leading Time magazine to call her Rehnquist's "Arizona twin."

Point being, we have no idea how any Justice will rule once on the bench.

One need not look past Kennedy and Souter as 2 f-up's to the Supreme Court. At least as far as conservatives are concerned.

So far we are batting 1-4 in the last 25+ years.
