WHAT???? Show me where I've done this. You won't be able to do it, because I'm not normally on these threads.
same mantra the nonthinking here use over and over. Your threats aren't even valid ones - time to change your script.
Not a "threat", and I don't have a "script". But I stand by what I've said, that if we choose to sit out this election or vote third party, we can say "hello" to President Obama with a majority in the House and Senate, and it's gonna be Katie, bar the door. Not valid, you say? I'll bet that you're one of the ones who voted third party or sat out to "teach the RINOs a lesson". Well, how's that workin' out for ya, bud? After two years of insanity and show hearings, and dealing with the consequences of the actions of those who wanted to "teach the RINOs a lesson", I was actually looking forward to a chance at getting some of those freaks out and holding on to the White House. I am also VERY concerned about judges, because if liberals can't press their agenda in the legislature or at the ballot box, they fall back on the judiciary.
The oldest justices are all libs. If they are replaced with libs - that status quo hasn't changed.
Not good enough. I want to have at least a chance that they will be replaced with something other than libs.
statistically, not one will die or retire in the next 4 years anyway. It's the 8 after that that count.
A couple of them have been making noises about retiring. I believe they're waiting for a Democrat to be elected President, first, so that there will be a greater likelihood that they'll be replaced with someone of like mind.
Besides, McCain already said he wouldn't appoint someone like Alito (because he's too conservative) and he voted for Ginsburg.
Wrong again. McCain has said he WOULD appoint strict constructionists. And yes, he DID vote for Ginsburg along with Hatch and other Republicans. Their reasoning was that the President is entitled to appoint whomever he wants to the Court, as long as the appointee has the proper credentials and doesn't have any scandals or other issues in their background. Ideology didn't count. Of course, the Democrats in the Senate don't see things the same way.
I think YOU'RE the one who doesn't have his/her thinking cap on.
