I see no such warning as you indicate in the text of the president's address. ''Better not'', forsooth? I don't even get a sniff of a ''better not'', because there doesn't appear to be a corresponding ''or else'' clause between the lines.
''Better not'' w/o ''or else'' is rather a waste of time, don't you think?
The president appears to be taking the high road vis-a-vis the Marxists; he gives an honest recounting of the history of the two most recent nominees to SCOTUS. I think, too, that he understands that they don't give a damn, that history is entirely one-sided as far as they're concerned, and that they in no way consider themselves bound to the standards evinced by Pubbie senators in the 1990s.
The question is: does the president have the resolve to jam an originalist down their throats, or will he, in the name of comity and his famous ''new tone'', and in the interest of a quick confirmation, nominate O'Connor lite?
I hope for the former, but I'll wager on the latter. BTW, as regards wagering, there are some really very interesting bets to be made on tradesports.com on the name of the nominee. Worth a look for the practical political observer; tradesports was very nearly spot on (in terms of odds quoted) during the 2004 campaign.
Question: From the perspective of a non judge nominee, what past GOP senators are out there retired but young enough, with a solid legal background, to qualify? The whole concept of the Senate not refusing one of its own could be in play.
I'm thinking of folks like Warren Rudman. Was Nancy Kassebaum pro life? She was from Kansas so one would think so. Or something really avant garde . . . Sam Nunn was a pro Life Democrat and he's retired from the Senate. He still alive?
Now you call him the President when you immediately follow up by calling him a Communist.. I see how you are. I Done sniffed ya out. Hope you have fun voting for Hillary.
Maybe you could see... vis-a-vis
1. Compared with.
2. In relation to.
The president appears to be taking the high road "compared with" the Marxists(Sounds funky comparing him to Communists)
The president appears to be taking the high road "In relation to" the Marxists (looks like your saying hes taking the same road the communists take.)
Thanks for the clarification.
