She sure sounds egotistical as well.
But ,but , this can’t be true, Chief Justice Roberts just said the Justices weren’t political.....
She’ll sure love the one we have after November then...
Well, Barky got his first lesbian and his first Latina in, so it doesn’t seem he’d have trouble replacing Clinton’s first wizened ACLU lawyer. The toothless GOPe wouldn’t stand in his way, because, unlike the Democrats, they think “a president has a right to his SCOTUS appointments.” Cowards.
She thinks the next one will be better?
I’ll bet she is still hanging on to Enron stock. Its gonna make a comeback, Ya know.
As things stand, she needs to stay. If she goes, Obama will appoint the most left-wing activist judge he can and that judge will be making decisions for the next 40 years.
Better the devil we know than the devil we don’t.
I would venture to guess that her reasons for not ‘liking’ the current Senate etal are not quite the same as ‘Ours’.
Remember, there is a ‘ring of nuts’ out there that think the Supreme Court is far too Conservative AND BO just isn’t doing enough of what he promised.
Like the %’s of voters
20/20 Rabid R or D, will pull the party lever no matter what.
20/20 R or D, will more than likely go party line.
5/5 really not sure what they want....this 10% is who all these billions of wasted bucks are aimed at.
Of course if I were a News Channel, I would have to come up with another 10% .
Good thing the court isn’t political.
Is this for real?
A sitting member of SCOTUS is now unabashedly partisan.
I never thought I’d see the day.
The whole concept of the Supreme Court was that it was NOT political. That’s why it was a life appointment...no promises up ahead.
Now,now,you’re just sounding too”Reasonable”again!!Just wait.If we get a Repubican in 2016,he will(upon Ruth’s death or....?)nominate another David Souter!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not her choice, i.e. to approve or disapprove of judicial appointments for her office. An example of simple minded, egotistical, infantile sense of self importance.....just like liberal.
I am not sure what her point is.
This Senate is the ripe for any Obama nominee. Harry Reid can go nuclear on SCOTUS nominees as well as nominees to the Federal Bench.
The GOP is powerless except for blustering during the confirmation hearings...if Harry allowed confirmation hearings.
“I can’t resign now — there’s nobody like me who could be confirmed, she said.”
I don’t know why this Ruth Buzzi wannabe thinks another whack-job leftist like herself couldn’t be confirmed. She was confirmed 96-3, even though it was known her views were outside the mainstream of American jurisprudence, let alone outside the belief in strict construction and original intent.
I find it hard to believe the marshmallows who hold Republican Senate seats today would put up much more than token opposition, if that, to the nomination of a clone of this Stalinist justice.
Just pray that she lives at least 15 minutes past the inauguration of the next GOP President in 2016.
Thank God for this old stale commie’s ego! We just might catch a break and turn this back to 6-3 before too long?
Might as well take the blindfold off the statue of Justice after this admission.
Obama would nominate someone very much like her, and the “Republicans” like Juan McVain would insist on confirmation, saying the President has a right to appoint whomever he wants and the court shouldn’t be politicized.
The nominee would get about 70 votes.
Fine.
We'll settle for a cerebral hemorrhage.
Ruth Bader Lenin was useless on the day she was appointed; she’s even more so now that she’s clearly senile.
