Per CNN...

[river rat]

I'm losing hope, that we can avoid CWII,,,

There are just too many dangerously ignorant bastards, calling themselves American Democrats --- that are really the "enemy within"....

Semper Fi

[SaintDismas]

You ought not be saying that, heaven is listening

[chrispycsuf]

i see that...it hadnt been reported on anything i went too...no tv here...just a computer and lots of annoying people...(im still at work)

[writer33]

These people are lunatics.

[AliVeritas]

Well, hitting the SCOTUS blogs... will return with analysis hopefully.

[Jim Noble]

do you guys let a new person participate in anything...or do you just accuse them of being a troll

Both.

[MamaB]

I think you need something stronger than that. Don't know what--just something.

[Deo volente]

This will be the most important nomination in the last fifty years, at least.

May God have mercy on our beloved nation.

[Darksheare]

Well, she won't apologize anyway.
See the post under yours.
I do NOT like someone yelling at me for what a slime troll said.
Gets me really ticked.

[Graymatter]

Where can I find this dead pool? I need to enter...somebody named Van Dyke. :(

[mrobison]

that sounds good to me, but i'll bet rove is thinking more obtusely than that. i hate to say it, but there are a lot of opportunities open to the president because of the storm reconstruction that wouldn't be there otherwise in terms of working the nominee through the beltway. i know how cynical that is, but that's how things work on the potomac.

[PhiKapMom]

I think the rhetoric coming out of the RATs is going to be hysterical. They are not having a good night! They have a dingbat for Governor of LA and an incompetent for Mayor of NO and now this!

[Congressman Billybob]

No, Rehnquist had not been a judge before. But he was a Past President of the American Bar Association. That was before lib-Dem lawyers fouled the nest of the ABA.

"Dan Rather must be going insane not to be the anchor right now."

It's gotta be killing him...

[Soul Seeker]

Like hell.

Replacing a conservative Justice with a younger constitutionalist judge, and establishing a constitutionalist for decades as Chief Justice, is NOT bad for Conservatives. I have no idea what your thought process is on that.

[Christian4Bush]

Three words: Janice Rogers Brown

No problem here. Actually, those who pray, should bump up the prayers for President Bush...cause now it's not just two confirmation battles, it's three--the Chief Justice is a separate confirmation.

BTW, I just found a book today on The Federalist Papers (actually it's a book OF The Federalist Papers) for $10 at Barnes & Liberal...one to add to my collection. I'm interested to read what it says about the Judiciary (78-82).

Where can I find this dead pool?

The one I'm in is at http://deadpool.isfullofcrap.com -- and yes, that's the actual address...

[mrobison]

i agree. there is no way anything good for the libs can come out of this. i think the congress is likely to go a lot more easily on bush right now than it might have otherwise.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I doubt the Dimms can hold up any nomination---with their usual conservative bashing --- and survive the 06 elections.

The elections are too close.
