But that was before the Dims discovered Bush lied to them. Never mind that Clinton, Kofi, the UN inspectors, and a whole lot of other people were saying the same thing. BUSH LIED. IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT! (sarcasm)

One thing I get a kick out of from Sean is when he baits libs with quotes from Clinton then badgers them. "Did Clinton lie? Was Clinton lying. You say Bush is lying. Clinton said the exact same thing. Was he lying?"

So Boxer says AQ wasn't in Iraq before the war?

Yup. She said it and then said that more cells were in the US than in Iraq. A few have said it and it is so true. We are supposed to believe that Al-Qaeda was in Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the US, but it was not in Iraq?

Whatever.

I'm hoping for Justice Brown, a judge who believes that the will of the voter is important and that the judiciary is not the place to make law, but interpret it guided by the Constitution.

Even in liberal CA she gets respect.

I hope he wears the gold stripes on his robe. The CJOTSC should be distinguishable from the other 8.

I've been wondering whether Roberts will continue this Rhenquist-initiated custom; my intuition says it's not his style, given that he said wanted a more "humble" judiciary. Remains to be seen...

Those who voted against Roberts are the Core of the Jackass Party, the neo-Marxists, the Enemies of the Constitution, the anti-Americans, the Lunatic Left. And several Demo Rats who voted for Roberts did so only because they fear not being re-elected. Bill Nelson of FL is a good example. His usual voting record is right in line with Hillary Klinton, Kennedy, Kerry. Ditto for Levin, Leahy, Landrieu - who fear they will be sent back to the cows and swamps.

I can't for the life of me understand the way they cower before these toothless old a-rats. They have nothing but bluster, but these pubs pander, and pander, and pander.

Like any bully if they stood up and punched them in the nose, they would shut up. Like by taking Pelosi out in return for Delay. Then when they called it political, saying Yeah? So what? Delay for Pelosi, you're still coming out ahead. (actually they probably like the blithering idiot Pelosi in that role, I know I do.)

I hope we can give the PUBS a nice ass-whuppin in the primaries this year. What we got seems to have lost their will to fight.

If Bayh, Biden, Boxer, Cantwell, Clinton, Corzine, Durbin, Feinstein, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Mikulski, Obama, Reid, Sarbanes and Schumer, among others, are against him, he must be the right man for the times we are living in. Praise!

We should use your post as a guide when looking at hearings, business being conducted or anything discussed in the Senate!

I think it was Miss Marple......but I've adopted it.....and it fits. I've been passing it around and everyone loves it.

I can add some of so called right wing talkers to that party too.
