BREAKING NEWS: The 9th Circus Court of Appeals declares Senate unconstitutional. Not too fast there...are we sure that's such a bad idea? ;-)
To: Corin Stormhands
Just Daschle and the demoncRATS--those guys aren't just unconstitutional, they are corrupt!

Thank you for your honesty. If I were an atheist, which I am not, I think I'd be embarrassed by this fellow from Elk Grove, CA, who brought the suit to the court. What he's really saying is that his daughter has a constitutional right to not feel uncomfortable or "left out". God (or whatever) forbid that anyone should ever be made to feel uncomfortable!
To: ArrogantBustard
Whether Strom was there bodily is yet another question.

By the way, the pledge's use of the term "God" makes no definitive comment on the nature of character of God. Such a comment or definition would have clearly been an "establishment of religion," IMO. To the secular humanist, "God" in the pledge could be "We the people." I think this is a reasonable inference. Hence, the term "God" does not impose any particular belief on anyone, but allows for anyone's concept of a high power, authority, or principle.

Bill Clinton and the Democrats nominated and confirmed 14 of the 24 judges on this court.Getting the news out!

Jesse Helms. He's in the hospital.

And none of the judges involved in this decision was a Clinton appointee. On Nixon, one Carter, on Bush (senior).

Hell ... you don't have to be an atheist to be embarrased by this fellow. My dog should be embarrased that there is a fellow warm blooded animal of such ilk ...

Precisely.
To: ThePythonicCow
LOL...Your dog probably has more sense, too.
One positive from all of this: it probably adds another million votes nationwide to Republican Senatorial candidates for November to unseat Leahy as Judiciary chair.

As far as I'm concerned, every vote by Strom is an out-of-body experience.
To: Common Tator
So when Justice Marshall put an end to our Republic and turned it into a Democracy tempered by Judicial Fiat, the Democracy advocate in the white house never opened his mouth. I understand your point about the supreme court making law, but I don't understand how that makes us a democracy.
Please explain.
