[Trust but Verify]

The amicus briefs filed in this case are a compilation of very conservative and very liberal interest groups including NARAL and theACLU.

How come McCain left a loophole in campaign finance that allows only Indians to each give $500,000 a year compared to the $1000 non-indians are allowed.
McCain is the #1 person financed by Indian money. Gee, do you think there was a reason that Indians were basically exempt?

[Busywhiskers]

I wonder what part of "Congress shall make no law" the leftist don't understand.

[GSlob]

Actually, "Dreck" is a German word. In Yiddish it is a loanword from German.

[xzins]

I think it's the "NO" part.

Vote will be 4-4 and alito would have tipped it over.

Hopefully they will rehear the case next year.

This is one where kennedy was with us and O'Conner leaving will tip the balance.

If CFR goes, then McCain's reputation goes with it.

From your keyboard to God's Ears.........

[nickcarraway]

YES!!

[Reactionary]

McCain-Feingold is illegal garbage and everyone knows it.

[Richard Kimball]

Well, apparently that part about freedom of speech and the press, and that part about no laws respecting an establishment of religion. The second amendment is assumed by most liberals to have been improperly translated from the original aramaic, and the right to be secure in our persons and property is frequently cited as "whatever goes on behind closed doors is legal, unless it's conservative".

Yet another reason the likes of Kennedy and Schumer - and of course Feingold - are so dead-set on delaying Alito's confirmation for weeks or even days.

Hoping that cases like this will be decided before Sandy-Day rides off into the sunset, and well-deserved obscurity.

[xzins]

This definitely seems to explain the delay from December until mid-January.

[Logical me]

"If CFR goes, then McCain's reputation goes with it."

I hope so. McNut is just that, off his rocker.

[MNJohnnie]

Scalia

Thomas

ALITO

Roberts

Look out Dems, the STAR court is going to rock your world!

[GladesGuru]

"Has McCain popped any blood vessels?"

Clearly, not enough, or not large enough.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Chief Justice Roberts.

Soon to be joined by Chief Justice Alito...I like where this is headed.

[Soul Seeker]

"You have a very good argument," Breyer told Bopp. "But it's an argument we just heard in that (2003) case. ... Or are you asking us to go back and undo what we did?"

Hell yes! You nitwits.

Except even with Alito added to the Court, we still have kennedy, and I don't trust him. Doesn't matter what he last ruled, his ego is under a full court press from the Liberal establishment right now.
