I think it’s possible he thought there are just 8 judges. But I won’t push it. This is a minor point.


It seems real simple to me that he was just referring to the 8 judges who ruled prayer in the class room unconstitutional,
Otherwise how would he have even remembered it. Perry is A ok, if any body is.

Don,t let the commies get to you.

So you have no interest in less Federal Government control over your life? You don’t like the idea of the people of each deciding what’s best for them?

“doing away with the federal government.”

If he’s willing to throw in the national media, by gum, he’s got my vote!

Good try of damage control by his campaign; but that isn’t what he meant after reading the transcript.


I read it too, and it sure looks to me like he was simply stating that 8 of the judges voted it unconstitutional.

I think i heard the other day that Texas is booming while the other states are in depression, so he must be doing something right.

Even if you are right about him having the number of judges wrong ( and i do not think you are ) i would still vote for him because he sees freedom as i see it.

Perry’s more radical than I realized:

“It’s one of the reasons I’ve called for doing away with the federal government.”


There is most likely more to it than that, but the federal Government is becoming an evil monster, so we sure need to do something with it, Go rick perry.

Also there is no doubt that George Washington was called a radical.

He sure know that there were eight justices in the majority in the case of ABINGTON SCHOOL DIST. v. SCHEMPP, 374 U.S. 203 (1963). Are you sure you listened to the entire interview and aren’t taking the comment about eight justices out of context?

Well, okay, you had a sticker and discarded it because you think Perry is some sort of zealot who believes in a theocracy.

I’m sure he doesn’t and I certainly wouldn’t want to live in a theocracy either.

Sorry I made the snide sticker remark, but it sounded like those seminar callers to Rush who say, ‘I’ve listened to you for years and I always agree with you...but.

There eight judges a lot of the time, even when they aren't voting.

Not interested in trading one form of government, secular, for another, theistic.

No matter what variation of theocracy it might adopt as the officially approved brand.

Such has not worked out well in the past, look up “Hedge Priest”and Priest Hole” for one of the milder examples.

This on top of supporting “In state tuition” and amnesty for illegals (Who’s college education at the expense of Americans does NOT qualify them for U.S. jobs UNLESS they also get an amnesty) puts him out of the running for me.

So far I’m still waiting for a sane and truly conservative candidate, it’s not looking good.

Hmmm... Unix PINGs to FR look normal, but I still get a 20-30 second “hang” when I access FR. FR may be getting ready for another server crash...

It was hilarious reading the threads where people insisted Perry claimed there were only 8 justices. The transcript clearly indicates he wasn’t asked how many justices were on the court, and is consistant with the idea that he was criticizing the 8-member majority that voted against prayer in schools.

And the whole attack on him for not being able to pronounce Sotomayor’s name is hilarious, when you realise that it’s mispronounced repeatedly on news broadcasts, and they often spell it out phonetically in the newspaper because of the difficulty of determining the pronounciation.

They’d rather “believe” Gov. Perry doesn’t know there are 9 Justices on the SC than look at that transcript and admit the truth.

Sad. Sad. Sad.

Perry’s comment on Newt’s “Made up Palestinian people” (before launching into a critique over the administration’s destructive national policy in the Middle East and his total evisceration of Obama about giving our enemies the drone) was a not so subtle dig about how the MSM regularly takes candidates’ comments and blows them out of proportion.

I regret posting my reply in the manner I did. I didn’t mean to sound like I thought he was some kind of nut job.

I like him very much and believe, of the whole field, he best represents pure Conservative values and has the record of governance to prove it.

Of all the post’s I’ve made on FR, it’s one that I wish I had taken more time to think through and how it would appear.

My apologies to all.
