I'm feeling a little less bad than I did on 9/11. But when it's all said and done, more people will die per day because of ObamaCare than died on 9/11.
I don't believe Roberts was threatened or bribed. BB and I discussed ~couple months back how it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS the conservatives that flip. Never does a Marxist flip. So, the liberals have a 5-4 SCOTUS majority, period. There is NOTHING, not even ritualistic suicide Roberts can do to unf**k the pooch on this one. Roberts (and his family and friends) needs to be treated like the grotesque walking abortion he is.
The POTUS election being held this November is the most important POTUS election in the nation's history, IMO. This is war and the time to not treat politics as such is long gone. And we have the architect of ObamaCare as the GOP POTUS nominee. And in this truly f**ked up world we live in, this betrayal by Roberts (who I will no longer refer to by name, but, by the moniker “CJ Felcher” going forward) helps Glove.
That being said, and this post may very well get pulled for what I'm about to write, but I'm writing it anyway:
1. The time has come for Einsatzgruppen against ALL liberals.
2. Hopefully, no ones around to help CJ Felcher the next time he has a seizure. Personally, I'd rather go on a cross country road trip with Jerry Sandusky than piss on CJ Felcher if he was on fire. And you can quote me on that.
But tell me how you really feel.
We really need a SUPER MAJORITY in both Houses. A tough task, but we have to try as hard as we can to help more conservative, Republican candidates win the next election.
Volunteer, donate if you can afford it, write letters to editors, call talk shows, contact conservatives on your email list, and talk with your family and friends personally. (Don’t waste too much time on drones, as Mark Levin calls them, but at least inform those with an open mind. Maybe they’ll come around later.)
That is a major problem.
Coulter is wrong when she says that liberal Democrat presidents never "accidentally" appointed a conservative. They'd have fewer opportunities than Republicans in recent decades to make appointments, but they've had their own slip ups. Kennedy appointed Byron White as a favor to big labor (he was a lifelong Democrat and big DNC donor) and the guy turned out to be a closet conservative. Woodrow Wilson appointed James Clark McReynolds because he was some nasty southern Jew-hating bigot like himse, but McReynolds turned out to be a staunch conservative who was one of the "four horsemen" who consistently struck down FDR's socialist New Deal legislation. However, the big difference here is that NONE of the RAT judges "started out" as reliable liberals and drifted more and more to right over their years on the court, but plenty of GOP appointments have drifted the other way. There's that old saying from Winston Churchill about a man being a bleeding heart liberal at 20 and a staunch conservative at age 40. With federal judges, it's the opposite. They may have a track record as faithful conservatives at age 40, but be freakin' marxists by the time they're 75. Some of the prominent examples are Justices John Paul Stevens and Harry Blackmun.
One of the reasons I suspect is that they keep appointing federal appellate court judges in about 70-80% of the SCOTUS appointments. These guys get drunk on power with their lifetime federal jobs and believe they're on an mission to solve social ills in America. I don't know why we do this, we're one of the few countries in the world that chooses Governors instead of federal legislators as President most of the time because we want someone from "outside Washington", so why do we want a professional federal official to serve on SCOTUS? They should elevate more judges from state supreme courts to the U.S. Supreme Court, IMO. Of course, David Souter (former NH Supreme Court justice) is an notable example against my argument, but we don't have a lot of state supreme court judges to compare him to. If I had been in Bush's shoes, I would have elevated Clarance Thomas to CJ and named Florida Supreme Court Justice Raoul G. Cantero to replace Thomas as associate justice.

I've been hearing this "most important Presidential election of our lifetime" stuff since I first voted in 2000, so it's worn thin. I'm told THIS election will tip the balance of SCOTUS every election. I think even in a worst case scenario, Romney's POTUS nominees wouldn't be as bad as Obama, but even if Romney makes a sincere effort to appoint a reliable conservative justice, we're left with the "evolving" problem. I really think the only solution is to amend the constitution and have a fully elected SCOTUS like we have on the state level in several states, but since that's unlikely to ever become law, a compromise solution might be to continue letting the President appoint judges with Senate approval, but give Americans (depending on what federal judicial circuit they live in) the power of retention. That way a turncoat appointed in 2005 could kicked out of his SCOTUS seat in 2015, and so on. Any Republican appointee who "evolved" would face ramifications from voters, especially if they're from a conservative region.
>> “Ann Coulter when she was on the warpath against Roberts and insisted he was “another Souter”. ..” I wonder what Roberts did to make her against him. This week is the first time I saw Roberts go left. <<
Good question. Between this and the AZ decision, I wouldn't place Roberts as "another Souter" yet, but if he keeps this up, he'll certainly be another Sandra Day O'Connor at best. What caused Coulter to go into attack mode against him in 2005 is beyond me. His past history as a member of the Federalist Society, Rehnquist clerk, etc. was certainly better than anything we had from Souter, which were just "assurances" from some blue-blooeded New Hampshire RINOs that he was a "good Republican". But a lot of conservatives backed Charlie Crist for Governor of Florida in 2006 and could have never predicted him becoming a turncoat liberal, either. Fortunately for me, Coulter's groupies would be rubbing this in my face and saying "I told you so", but they've quieted down ever since their hero hitched her wagon to GOProud and Mitt Romney in the GOP primaries.
My sentiments exactly!
Damn. Well in the literal sense I agree. I would sooner visit Mount Rushmore with a pedophile football coach than I would go out of my way to save the life of a traitor. I don't think I would have been this angry at Kennedy. To have HIM write the solid dissent while Roberts went the other way is madness. I'd talk football with coach McFeely and smile at Obama's face and shake his hand and say "pleased to meet you Mr. President" about 100 times before I'd do anything but flip the bird to Roberts. Nothing feels worse than betrayal.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS the conservatives that flip. Never does a Marxist flip
It's true with regular voters as well. Inner city democrats almost never break ranks. GOP suburbanites and rural people vote democrat all time. The left does not tolerate dissent. Look up "three line whip", that's that kind of mindset we need to have, on everything.
I know with judicial appointments there is a lot of beating around the bush cause we like to pretend the courts are supposed to be "above" "politics" (which is a lot of bull if you ask me). But If I was the President making a SCOTUS appointment, I'm strapping the guy to a polygraph (I'm not of fan of their efficacy but you get my point) and flat out asking:
"So Roe V Wade is bull, you'd overturn that right?" "Forcing people to buy health insurance, that's fascism right? Not legally permitted, correct?" "Do you swear on your children's life to uphold these principles we've been discussing?" and unless I got the answers I wanted and was sure he was being honest with me his resume would go in a circular file.
And if that gets you some half-retarded sycophant who wants nothing more than that the prestige that comes with the position then so be as it long as he votes the right way.
