Imagining America if George Bush Chose the Supreme Court

More justices like Scalia and Thomas that interpret the Constitution instead of re-writing it. What a HORROR! /sarcasm

Looks like the New York Slimes is now trying to scare the liberal base to get out and vote using the Supreme Court an issue. There will be a THEOCRACY in Alabama!!!!!! Gays will be arrested in their homes and sent to jail and beaten!!!! We will be DOOMED! DOOMED!

NYT=FUD Fear... uncertainty... doubt...

[Cicero]

Just imagine. Guys like Adam Cohen might have to stop killing babies. Wouldn't that be a tragedy!

[no more apples]

Where's the BARF alert?

[Tatze]

You forgot the BARF ALERT! In this case, major BARF ALERT!!

[ArmyBratCutie]

you know I could care less what The New York Times have to say....about anything....
they are so irrevelent anything they write is a joke....they are preaching to the choir....if they think what they print makes a bit of differce to us, they are more of a moron than we already think they are......

My title: Imagining America if Legislating was left to the Legislatures.

[conservative in nyc]

It's an editorial in the New York Slimes. No Barf Alert is needed. Every New York Slimes editorial comes with an automatic Barf Alert.

This moron won't have to imagine for long.

[Always Right]

Typically left wing fear-mongering.

"Imagining America if George Bush Chose the Supreme Court"

OK. Me too.

I imagine it would be pretty cool.

Hey he forgot about Jews and high tech ovens.

"Criminalization will sweep well beyond the Bible Belt: Ohio could be among the first to drive young women to back-alley abortions and prosecute doctors."

No, it could not be that we oppose all abortions. It's just that we want people to die if they try to have one.

He is so wrong about us. So wrong.

[HitmanLV]

Abortion might be a crime in most states. Gay people could be thrown in prison for having sex in their homes. States might be free to become mini-theocracies, endorsing Christianity and using tax money to help spread the gospel. The Constitution might no longer protect inmates from being brutalized by prison guards. Family and medical leave and environmental protections could disappear.

Lets not get hysterical. None of the above would happen. It's amazing how shrill and ill tempered the left is.

It is just too delicious to image! Wow, are things going to change in the next four years.

[Tamzee]

Good heavens... and they accuse the RIGHT of fearmongering LOL

[kingu]

*yawn* Gee, if a Republican appointed someone to the court, they would immediately take away any and all 'rights.' Well, couple of news flashes...

Clinton appointed two, Reagan raised one justice to Chief Justice, and the rest have been appointed by Republicans, and low and behold, it's not a crime to be a fudgepacker in your own bedroom.

The doom and gloom crud is just more Democrats mirroring their own views onto Republicans. Since Republicans try to avoid appointing judges who view the bench as a place of activism, they put straight shooters up. Democrats have figured out that why should you have to go through the trouble of elections and voting for things when you can just rule from the bench.

Besides, Scalia thinks there should be more orgies. And I tend to agree -- most Supreme Court decisions would be a lot more entertaining to watch on DVD that way.

I can't tell you the joy I'm getting from reading the NY TImes these days. The anger and panic are palpable, with a stroke soon to follow Bush's victory.

I forgot to mention that he probably fears John Ashcroft getting the right to steal his imagination under patriot Act II.
