Geez, I have grandchildren older than this guy's children and I'm only 8 years older than he is. Did he get a late start or is this the second time around?
Republicans ignored the "sharp partisan credentials" of Marxist Ruth Bader Ginsblerg--she was confirmed 97-3.
The Democrats do not belong to a "political party". They belong to a cult of zealots that want to control power--and, nation be damned!
Howard Dean said they searched far and wide for an alternative to whatever Bush comes up with, but they had too many choices that fit a "homeless, transgendered, mutant, Hare Krishna, dumspter diving terrorist".
However, they then stumbled upon their next best choice.
It seems the Presstitutes scare the poor little girl...smart child that one!
Maybe we should do a Bill Moyers "Daisy" style commercial with her pic saying...
"Why are all those extreme liberals and media whores attacking my Daddy?"
Might make a good ad after all!
President Bush nominated DC Circuit Court Judge John Roberts to the US Supreme Court. The Feminist Majority, the National Organization for Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the National Abortion Federation all immediately announced their intentions to oppose Roberts for the position.
“I am extremely disappointed that the President did not appoint a centrist woman to fill Sandra Day O’Connor’s seat on the Supreme Court,” said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority. “We are now going back to tokenism for women on the highest court in the land.”
“Everything we know about Judge Roberts’ record thus far indicates that he will be a solid vote against women’s rights and Roe v. Wade,” Smeal continued. “If he is to be confirmed by senators who support women’s rights, he must say where he stands on Roe and the right to privacy. The burden is on him.”

Bingo. Or, as I have been know to say: "A liberal's idea of diversity is a room full of people who all look differently from one another, but think exactly the same way."
Shawn was assigned the roll of a Sugar Plum for the preschool Christmas program. He, and four other Sugar Plums were to skip, one time only, around a pair of "sleeping" children and exit the stage.
Instead, when the spotlight fell on him, he began to dance in wild, joyful, ever widening circles. The spotlight tech followed Shawn all around the stage.
Only when the spotlight was turned off, did Shawn stop dancing. And he had a deer in the headlight look as the audience applauded and cheered his 'performance'.
It's just too cute.
I don't know how President Bush kept a straight face.
They're the Sixties crowd.
They've never grown up.
(((Yawn)))
Bump!
Who's that... Ed Asner?
Absolutely. She can replace Rehnquist, with Scalia nominated as the new Chief Justice.
Then Luttig can replace the ancient Stevens, and after that it won't even matter if Gonzales is picked to replace the ill Ginsburg.
The Scalia Court:
Antonin Scalia - Conservative
Clarence Thomas - Conservative
John Roberts - Conservative
Janice Rogers Brown - Conservative
Michael Luttig - Conservative
Anthony Kennedy - Conservative/Moderate
Alberto Gonzales - Conservative/Moderate
David Souter - Moderate/Liberal
Stephen Breyer - Liberal
It looks (and thinks) like America...LOL!
MoveOn.org Protest.
Everybody hang themselves by the neck in trees to protest. Hey, look at us media; come back!!!
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
That film Tom Cruise did which supposedly was based on the Rose Law firm ("The Firm")exhibited some of the high-stress dimensions of legal careerism.
On the other hand, there could be other explanations.
Critical Urgent Community Action Bulletin
from the Progressive Action Network For American Progress
For Immediate Release
The Progressive Action Network For American Progress is extremely concerned by today's news that President Bush has selected ___JOHN ROBERTS___ as his nominee for the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court. Unlike outgoing Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the widely respected and admired moderate consensus-building sensible mainstream compromisist, ___JOHN ROBERTS___ has a shocking record of extremely extreme fringe legal positions that fill us with grave concerns about ___HIS___ fitness for this critically crucial office.
Make no mistake: no one should be fooled by the administration's public relations efforts or ___JOHN ROBERTS___ 's seemingly "moderate" appearance. ___JOHN ROBERTS___ has a record that suggests that ___HE___ would deny women the right to reproductive choice, stop important life-saving medical stem cell research by extending the Patriot Act to draft their unwanted fetuses, and turn these conscripted fetuses over to dangerous tax-supported 'Creationist' religious indoctrination laboratories. The Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment, and America needs to know whether ___JOHN ROBERTS___ supports the GOP's secret plan of a Rush Limbaugh Jesus army of unwanted, unquestioning fetus zombies programmed to urinate on the Korans of Guantanamo detainees.
We should also point out that our opposition to ___JOHN ROBERTS___ has nothing to do with the nominee's race and/or gender. We at the Progressive Action Network For American Progress have long been on record of standing up for the civil rights of ___WHITE MEN___ , rights from which ___JOHN ROBERTS___ ironically, has benefitted. Sadly, rather than create programs and begin to work on the real problems that concern ___WHITE MEN___ , the Bush administration has cynically forwarded an unqualified, token candidate like ___JOHN ROBERTS___ to mask its callous indifference to the plight of the ___WHITE MAN___ community.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
In response to this shocking nomination, we here at the Progressive Action Network For American Progress are joining forces with other mainstream grassroots progressive activist organizations -- organizations like Peace Power Community Now Network, Grant Proposers for Justice, NairBusters, Out of Our Wombs!, UpChuck.org, ToothACHE, and Sitcom Producers for the American Way. Over the next few weeks we will be encouraging the Senate Judiciary Committee to take a close look at ___JOHN ROBERTS___ and ___HIS___ extremist views on the critical legal issues that face all of us. While we will be working hard to get out the word in Washington, ordinary progressive citizens like you can do your part as well. First, write your newspaper and/or Senator and let them know that you will not stand by idly while Bush and Company install a pseudo-" ___WHITE MAN___" like ___JOHN ROBERTS___ on the nation's highest court. Here's a letter to get you started!
Dear Senator __________
As a constituent and a voter in our great state of ___________, home of the famous ___________, I am proud that our state enjoys the the nickname of "Cradle of ____________s." This is why I must strongly urge you to oppose the nomination of ___JOHN ROBERTS___, a dangerous extremist whose legal rulings threaten to endanger our state's beloved ___________, making us no better than Mississippi.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here
Be polite and remember to fill in your Senator's name and pertinent facts about your state. If you are from Mississippi, replace "Mississippi" with "California". Also, replace "Your Name Here" with your name, unless your name is actually "Your Name Here."
Another thing you can do to help is to find more information about ___JOHN ROBERTS___ . The people who know ___HIM___, what do they say about ___HIM___ ? Was ___HE___ ever in trouble with the law? Frequently, ___WHITE MEN___ like ___JOHN ROBERTS___ have arrest records in their youth. If you are near ___JOHN ROBERTS___ 's hometown of ___UNKNOWN___, try searching in the local police archives for the ___JOHN ROBERTS___ name or possible aliases. Also, think hard -- are you certain that you have not been personally victimized, or assaulted by ___JOHN ROBERTS___? Search your recollections carefully. Scientists tell us that millions of us suffer from Repressed Memory Syndrome -- a debilitating psychological problem where victims are unable to recall a painful physical or emotional trauma, such as being physically violated by ___JOHN ROBERTS___. If you do not remember this happening to you, please call us and we will get you the help you need to recover your mind and start the road to healing.
Consider the consequences of inaction: with ___JOHN ROBERTS___ on the bench, millions of Americans may lose their cherished constitutional rights, Air America, perhaps even their grant money from George Soros. We here at the Progressive Action Network For American Progress ask you to please do your part. Our very democracy depends on the grassroots action of committed progressives like ___YOUR_NAME_HERE___ .
