BWHAHAHAHA!!! There's not a single SCOTUS material amongst that group. He really DOES take Republicans as fools.
Reid just can't understand what GWB means by "no consultation" on judges. Dingy, STHU
Of COURSE, he suggested those Republicans...I don't know that much about Crapo...but the other ones surely would please the dems...
Which means, not no, but heck no!!!
Cornyn, though, would be great!!!
What an idiot. I hope Rove & Co. have some plans to drive Reid totally off his rocker...
The boob DeWine was just stabbed in the back. As has been noted by scores of FReepers, anyone who has the political tin ear that DeWine has should not be in the Senate. Is Kasich listening?
Pound sand, Harry, you lying weasel SOB. We won, we get our judges.
I'm surprised Arlen Specter didn't get a mention...
John Kyl would be a perfect cheif justice of the supreme court a great conservative of course reid didn't suggest him.
I wish one of the peanut gallery had asked reid about Kyl and shown how much of an obstructionist reid is because Kyl is a brilliant conservative that would be a strict constitutionalist.
Dewine-Laughable
Lindsay Graham republican during the day democrat at night=Laughable
Crepo don't know enough about
Martinez would be weak on immigration, enviornment, and affirmative action issues. Martinez was very moderate before he ran for the senate I think as a judge he would veer to the left.
Schumer mentioned Spector too which is laughable.
Too bad the governor of arizona is a democrat or if I was Bush I would have nominated Kyl and let them reject one of their own.
All lightweights....and unqualified. Just proves that Reid doesn't know how to judge judges....and has no business second-guessing the President's nominees.
As it happens, John Bolton has a law degree.
Not being on Harry's list qualifies as extreme?...NOT
Aren't Souter and Kennedy both what we got listening to Dems?
They actually have the nerve to state in the article that Reid's motive is to seek a consensus choice. When is someone going to stand up to these communists and shove their nonsense back at them? To anyone but a two year old and a left wing journalist, that obviously was not the motive.
15. In a span of just over two months in 1996, you (Jerry Smith) issued two blockbuster opinions: Hopwood v. Texas, 78 F.3d 932 (5th Cir. 1996) (holding that the University of Texas Law School could not use racial preferences in deciding which students to admit); and Castano v. American Tobacco Co., 84 F.3d 734 (5th Cir. 1996) (decertifying the largest class action ever attempted in federal court). What single opinion of yours -- majority, concurring, dissenting, or other -- do you find to be the most memorable?
Hopwood.
16. How do you define the term "judicial activism," and is it ever proper for a federal appellate judge to consider his or her personal preference as to the outcome of a case (other than the preference to decide the case correctly in accordance with the law) in deciding how to rule?
Judicial activism could mean many things, but primarily it is the substitution of the court's view for the policymaker's view, in cases where the decision properly should rest with the policymaker, or substituting the court's view for what the Constitution says, where a constitutional provision is at stake. A judge should not consider his or her personal preference as to outcome, any more than an umpire should call balls and strikes based on which team is his or her favorite.
Thanks for the input, but I already have a few good 'ol boys (maybe girls!) in mind. I'm sure you will absolutely flip over the names on my list!
Say "hi" to Howeird for me.
GWB
Not understanding advise and consent, Reid confirms he doesn't understand Presidential appointments either.
This "suggestion" of Reid tells me the dems. are VERY worried about what's coming down the pyke. Very worried.
Hey Dusty Harry, last I looked you are not the President (Thank God!).
