It's called a 'talent scout'. Many mediocre players have been great scouts and coaches. That's not the pool of talent you look in to find the next quarterback.
The President was disturbed by CFR. He only signed it because he either had to sign it or veto the bill entirely since the Courts took away his line item veto powers.
There was precious little that was constitutional in that bill. He should have vetoed the CFR, and vetoed any rewrite as well.

Maybe so, maybe not. Let's at least wait for the hearings. The fact that anyone at all is nominated by the toon is more than justified to be Borked based on the fact that he is a stain on America, morality, and the Executive Branch. I mean, for goodness sakes; "ACLU"? That alone disqualifies that 8!tc# Ginsburg.
The fact that more people are willing to Bork Miers than Ginsburg is quite a disturbing paradox. Should have fought tooth and nail back then.

The President shares mine and your concerns. But he decided that it's benefits outweigh the costs. We may not agree but that's what happens. You are free to not vote for the GOP, though I strongly advise you against it. Meanwhile, I'm trying to reform it from the inside out.
As soon as we see someone hurt by it, even if it's liberals, support them to the hilt and get the Courts to strike the unconstitutional parts of CFR (or as you see it; the whole bill) dead. Even if that fails, keep doing it until the First ammendment is safe again. Better yet, pressure your Critters to ammend CFR. We are not without recourse. And the Pres., as much as I like and respect him, doesn't have the final say on CFR.
