[xsmommy]

I’m sure he would have, but xshub isn’t a good one to sit around and do nothing. he needs to be accomplishing something in or to be happy. As it happens he was also able to charge various phones in the car while he was out on these forays.

[xsmommy]

so THAT”s how you were able to graduate?? ; ) A+++

[Wings-n-Wind]

>"ineffable"...

************

Sounds like it has SUMTHIN' to do with cleaning up the vocabulary...
...no "effs".... etc.

Just sayin...

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Sure. You want an MTO?

[ConorMacNessa]

I am luxuriating in the ineffable ecstasy of having survived Friday evening's derechos without having lost my power.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[NeoCaveman]

Ineffable? I don’t know about that. We got effed last Thursday...

[count-your-change]

That and no cussin, no drinkin’, no spittin’ and study up on yer sums and cyphers.

[xsmommy]

i’m sure i don’t need a bar of soap to clean up your vocab do i? ; ) A+++

Did you happen to catch FNS..yesterday?

Charles Lane raised some interesting points, vis-a-vis the 7-2 ruling on the Mediscare piece...

He points out that the Voting Rights Act sec.5 and Affirmative Action is on next years dinner cart, and that the mechanism used to enforce said policies is the same one the court voted down 7-2.

As Lane put it, he sacrificed a pawn (The ACA) to put the Queen in check (the whole Great Society structure)....

Conservatives sometimes act like Jets fans.

If they found a bag full of 20’s they’d complain that they weren’t 50’s.

The problem I have with the reporting on this,is there is no mention of the rest of the pending lawsuits.

The simple fact is, if you want to speak in terms of defending the Constitution, giving the Left a campaign license to trash the court like they did over Bush v. Gore, does not accomplish that end.

Striking the bill down because the mandated coverage violates the First Amendment is a far better method towards that end.

(And...lastly..remind me again what the ratio of Senate seats being defended is...Every Dem senator running Voted to Tax the middle class.)

We use the word “ineffable” a lot in the Orthodox Church, usually referring to God and his grace toward us. And truly ineffable things happen to us in the Orthodox Sacraments.

However, in describing the things that happened in DC last week, the REAL word to use is “unspeakable”:

b. inexpressibly bad : horrendous—unspeakable living conditions—unspeakable evil—

maybe you can cypher for us a bit later ; )

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I have to wonder if this ruling will change the minds of those trashing Romney on this board? Will it give them the “excuse” they need to vote bammy out?

[SoothingDave]

They say “if a Bush gave us Roberts, what will a Romney give us?”

I started watching some Kenny Powers this weekend. Amusing.

[xsmommy]

I think it will and i saw some evidence of it last week, people saying they hadn’t been going to and now saw that it was necessary. people need to fricking GET OVER this ruling. it’s done, they need to stop whining and find out the best way to deal with it and MOVEON.ORG. i have zero patience for the roberts bashing and whining and carrying on of last week. people need to grow the hell up and be constructive.

[NeoCaveman]

I did see FNS. I broke my habit of skipping the propoganda shows this week.

We had freaking Anthony Kennedy chomping at the bit to overturn this thing and we still couldn’t get it done. All thanks to Mr. Souter II.

And now it sounds like Souter II has lost Kennedy...permanently. The rift in that relationship will make things difficult until AMK retires, which I’m now willing to bet will be next year, if Romney is elected. And while I’m not the biggest AMK fan, I fear we’ll lose a libertarian-conservative (anti-Kelo, Citizens United, Heller, anti ACA, etc.) with a statist one.

But the HHS mandate is a regulation, not a legislative requirement. So a court could strike the mandate down and would have no reason to strike down the law.

Exactly Dave!

Not only that. Romney, if elected, to just have his HHS secretary rescind that onerous regulation.
