After today, and the totally irrational way 5 justices took this issue, I think it's safe to say that no part of the constitution is bankable anymore. I usually like to think I can see the other side of the argument, but there is no other side. It is not this court's responsibility to see to economic revitalization. It's simply far beyond their scope. Damn you GHWB for giving us Souter.
That too but what about all those Republicans in the Senate who gave Bubba the big pass on Ginsberg and Breyer; who know full well what their backgrounds were and the way they would rule once they received their lifetime appointments to the SC. They had no intention (no strategy?) of using the filibuster to deny these socialists an appointment and seemed to be as happy as pigs in s..t to give each of them an affirmative vote. These are the same spineless bastards who, today, wail about being denied the use of the filibuster by Democrats were they to dare to invoke the nuclear option. We have elected this Adminstration, this House and this Senate, yet the Democrats spend their days shitting on the heads of "our" President and Senators and boasting and laughing about it and the big debate among the geniuses we've put in office is whether thet should face the enemy, turn their heads up and open their mouths or just keep the new tone. In restrospect, they behave very much like the French.
Lee Atwater, where are you now that we need you!!!
