Thank you very much for sharing your views and being impartial. We all need a doze of reality. The law is the law.
Let’s start all over, drop Obama and McCain, best luck to the runner-ups.
I don’t post my opinions more because I get bashed on it, even by ‘friends’. Some don’t want to ‘share’ ideas, it’s their way or the highway.
I seem to have the apparent ‘problem’ of being able to see all sides of things and try to use logic instead of hate in fighting Obama.
Of course we know what ‘he is’, and we have to fight him and beat him, but I won’t fall into the ‘his tie is crooked’ it must mean something’ type of thing.
People have told me, “freepers can find things better than Hillary can”. Sorry, wonder how many of these freepers have viewed all the FBI files the Clinton’s have! The Clinton’s have a ‘shadow government’ and like you, I wouldn’t doubt a comeback by Hillary either. October surprise..
Thank you again for a very nice reply. Graphics can be easier to deal with , less heartburn, lol.
The Court's usual response to those kinds of arguments is that is why the Amendment process is in the Constitution--if you think it is unfair, amend the Constitution.
After doing that and 2000, they have any idea how thoroughly "reformed" the US Supreme Court will be when both political parties are finished with them? The Congress will not only clear up the problem with Article II, Section I, Clause 5, the Democrats and Republicans will positively take turns like a tag team in their rush to get amendments in reshaping Article III to end the Court's delusion forever that it is a co-equal branch of government except at the sufferance of the other two.
Yes! Exactly!
And they are going to do this because the nine judicial gods in their marble temple were not properly asked through the filing of a lawsuit?
Yes! Exactly!
The Supremes lack the legal authority to poke their noses in any American's affairs unless they are asked to.
Would you really want them to have that authority? Think about it!

Probably. Every generation or so one branch of the government tries to eviscerate the other two and seize total power for itself.

Ahhhhh, the beauty of the whole system. If they get close to doing this the Judicial and Executive branches will be forced into an uneasy alliance to prevent the Legislative branch from taking them both over.
What search do you now use? I’m sick of google.
Thanks. I think I was the last FReeper to see it.

It’s Microsoft.
*sigh*
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks, I’ll try it.
Similar for Fred Thompson, who I voted for. McRINO wasn’t
even on my LONG list of candidates I could easily have
supported, ya know??
It really ticks me off that the ‘RATS get to choose OUR
guy AND theirs. :(
No, nobody mentioned my voting process or anything. She
just mentioned “So I am puzzled about the advantage of
being Black???”, and etc.

Thanks. Glad you got a chuckle at my McRINO bumper
sticker. :)
Have a SUPER Friday and weekend!

Super post as usual, Phil! Thanks.NO SPITBALLS !!!!
Here's a little irony for you: I and many others, when hearing Romney fold up, had voted for Dum-bama [He Who Knows all 58 States.] Better him than Hellery, and I still believe that. I do have to hand it to Rush, though— Operation Chaos was run splendidly. It's really up to McCain.
Too bad we didn't find a strong conservative early on. I had favored Romney [way back before Thompson even jumped in], but he did have a lot of self-contradictions.
If only someone had listened— I knew that our best hope was to get behind one strong conservative early. But people griped, “That's not how it's done. Too early. You're crazy.” Entering a race late works best for scumbags with baggage. Entering EARLY works best for conservatives. And as irritated as I was with Rush Limbaugh for shoving Bush on us over Keyes and others— darn, what a mess we're in now.
On the other side of the coin— Dumbama, with his imaginary banking committee, his desire to give asthmatic children breathalysers and inhilators, his sweetheart land deal, his Barakula protection of legalized murder, and his 58 state campaign— if McCain can't beat that, he deserves to lose.
Why do I sometimes call him COUNT BARACKULA? Click here if you dare.
There are still pockets of prejudice, but they've been fading. If you take a look back in history, Truman was worried about stopping lynching mobs. We've come a long way since then.
The perfect example of the advantage of being black: let us take a look at Count Barackula Millhouse Dumbama aka ‘He Who Must Not be Named’. He mentioned a few days ago that he was in the Banking Committee— worse than a misstatement. It's like me saying that Corvette over there is mine. Rush Limbaugh hardly touched the issue. If he started lampooning Obama too much about being an idiot [like he would any white guy], people would call him prejudiced. Obama said we have 58 states if I recall correctly. Obama or Dum-bama? If McCain or Bush said that, just imagine the hoopla.
The Supreme Court has been earning the contempt of the people through its rulings for a long time. This would probably be the final straw. But then that's just my opinion. However, I doubt if I am alone in it.
Ahhhhh, the beauty of the whole system. If they get close to doing this the Judicial and Executive branches will be forced into an uneasy alliance to prevent the Legislative branch from taking them both over.
You are assuming, of course, that the Executive, having just had the political process by which its leadership is selected compromised by the Court, wouldn't respond to the same political pressures driving reform in the legislature. Hard to see that happening.
The "reforms" might produce a parlimentary reform of the government, one in which the executive comes out of the legislative branch. Then it would be the Parliament against the Court. And just how many cannons does the court have?
Actually, I've long thought it might be more suitable form for the fragmented, factionalized nature of modern U.S. politics. It would certainly solve the finger pointing between Congress and the Executive branch over inaction on critical national matters.
But them again reforms that extensive might be more of a revolution. Maybe it is time.
“Whereas, I have an email full of nasty copyright infringement accusations from Pam because a freeper posted her blog on a thread I started here at FR.”
I sorry it caused you problems, but I was very grateful you did that because it allowed me to read Techdude’s analysis properly. I had a lot of trouble with the original site, it wouldn’t load properly and kept freezing and crashing on me.
That's not good.
