I think the Dems are going to need some quiet time alone to figure out what they believe. The fun has just begun!

[Dionysius]

I had no idea that DU consisted of such certifiable lunatics -- not a rational reply in a carload. I did, however, appreciate one of the inmates calling Rove the "Fat Cherub". He does look like a cherub, smiling benignly because he knows he's always going to win and they're always going to lose!

[montag813]

he's a wild card and is definitly capable of moving to the left over time.(like souter & kennedy have) he does not appear to be a knee jerk wacko like thomas and scalia

Hmm. Certainly a concern. They would never has said as much about Michael Luttig. Pity that he will never sit on the bench, since Bush will most certainly name a woman next time around.

Funny stuff!
I'll supply the lye, I wonder where I should FedEx it?

The mental health industry will be working 24/7 to take care of these loons.
Man sometimes it's really fun just to sit back and watch people like this.
This would really be a good time to wear the Club Gitmo shirts, that might just blow a few extra gaskets around this great nation.

Let's get back to Rove

What are they going to do when that whole matter evaporates and Karl Rove is left standing and laughing? DU is going to need massive Suicide Hotline intervention!

My God he may actually use the constitution as a check on unlimited government power and return power to the people?

150. This is the best the RETARDICANS can do?


This is the best?

A lifetime lawyer, a partisan right wing tool and someone with less juidical experience than Clarence Thomas had when Nebish Boosh nominated him?

SOMEONE GET THE DUCT TAPE. These retardicans are making my head explode!!!

142. There is no way in hell Dems should confirm this joke. They should not


waste many words on it because the Neaderthal will get the job anyway and they have more important things to deal with. Any Dem voting for this freak should be considered an enemy to the Party since there is ZERO reason to vote for confirmation, just as there was zero reason to vote for Condosleeza or Bolton. They should be completely united in their vote against him...including the DLC corporate appeasers. No dissent but no vote.

157. Relax....this guy is a corporatist.


The Christian right will be severly disappointed in this guy.

I don't think he is anything to fear.

Remember -- the Bush crime family is not really fundy. They are just out to make money.

Better this guy than, say, Ashcroft.

161. Wow, this guy is WAY out there on the wing


[Edited], this guy is a Bircher. Say good-bye to privacy, the environment, reproductive rights, labor unions, and most everything else that made this country great. Say hello to Nazi Germany.

[Fudd Fan]

Don't you understand that the Repubs are baiting the Dems into opposing them so they can make the Dems look like the party that stands for nothing and opposes everything?

Dang! Someone over there is actually thinking. Who'dathunkit

[Ditter]

They don't seem to realize that Rovegate is a lost cause too, because he didn't break any laws.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA --- HERE IS A SPECIAL SONG WRITTEN JUST FOR THEM

[ModelBreaker]

As of tonight - unless we act - not only is Roe v. Wade overturned, but so are ALL federal powers to enforce fair commerce, ensure safe products, food and medicine,

If only that were true. I'm somewhat disappointed in the pick. Yes, he's got a fine mind and he is conservative. He's a charmer and will be hard for the rats to slime. All good.

But there is NO evidence that he will be a Thomas or a Scalia. From what I can see, he's an incrementalist and is unlikely to lead the Court significantly more rightward than O'Conner. I'm pretty confident that on social issues, he will replace O'Connner as a swing vote, although he may come out right more often than O'Conner. This improves the Court a little; but is not going to contribute the revolution in jurisprudence that is needed to move the Court back from 70 years of abuse of the constitution.

That he will be so easily confirmed validates this conclusion. He's about as good as the dems could have reasonably hoped for and, from their perspective, it could have been a whole lot worse. From my perspective, it should have been a whole lot better.

Maybe he will grow into a more originalist position. Sigh . . .

[Bean Counter]

"Dems should confirm Roberts immediately and get back to Rove!!"

Good Gawd!!

Karl Rove must giggle like a girl when he sees stuff like this...Rove-Gate is the biggest diversion of all.

Good evening.

[Steven W.]

looks like the inverse of quotes on FR earlier in the day pontificating about Clement ... it's so juicy, they can't decide whether they had Roberts more than Rove or the other way around!

24. This Either/Or Thinking is Dangerous This is just what Repubs want folks to say. Why choose between legitimate fights? Both battle fronts are important..."

By all means, fight on multiple false fronts. Waste your time and energy whilst we sit back and laugh our arses off watching your half-witted attempts at strategy. These buggarwits never read Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, or Jomini.

12. because were not gonna get any better
he's a wild card and is definitly capable of moving to the left over time.(like souter & kennedy have) he does not appear to be a knee jerk wacko like thomas and scalia. he is capable of thinking unlike those two. fact is hes going to be confirmed so lets not drag it out and get back to beating up on rove

***The above poster seems to be a dedicated anti-capitalist - rejects the use of all capitals!
Once this petty "wacko" gets over "knee-jerk" reaction, he/she/it wants to "get back to beating up on rove."

This high school student cannot possibly evaluate who is "capable of thinking" when "beating up on" is his/her/its standard for debate. Oh, *it* is programed to berate, not debate - the "liberal" way.
