TICK TOCK...............
Only political junkies care about that stuff. I used to be one but have become less of one so I kinda have a feel of the big news in relation to the apolitcal... right now, I have no idea what is so interesting about the Plame case (as it doesnt even sound interesting in lamestream media) but I do know about the USSC vacancy and have a passing interest in who it will be.
Just sayin'
Dang---9:00 PM!
This thread could be 1000 posts long by then....and we will all be at each others throats or talking about something else! LOL
Dangle the Carrot on a Stick Ping.
Bork is too old. Name one Scalia's sons.
Ah the voice of reason. Thank You! :)
Not as much as his consigliere, Dick Cheney. I love Dick -- he IS a wartime consigliere!
Rush just played the bite from today's reporterette asking GWB about Edith Clem-ONT. Called her a high-school paper reporter!
Tonight, I have instructed the United States Navy to reduce its number of warheads by 192.
National Review has some links on Clement if anyone is interested:
http://bench.nationalreview.com/
Good news, some lefty site writes about her:
"The buzz around the rightwing is that Bush's choice for the Supreme Court is Fifth Circuit Judge Edith Clement-Brown. I actually first heard this two weeks ago from a former clerk of one of the current Justices, so I was a bit prepared.
So how bad would she be? She qualifies as a "stealth candidate" in having fewer published views than some alternatives, but the evidence is that she's a hard right judicial activist, especially on the issue of gutting the Congress's regulatory power in the name of "federalism.""
Who is that? Laura Graham? It's hard to tell, it's such a small image of her face.
LOL.......... see post # 289
;-)
Clement is married with two children - don't know anything about her husband.
Bush will end up a bigger failure than his father if he breaks this promise and the Republican party will lose millions of votes.
The Road to Roe, goes through Steinberg v. Carhart, and PP v. Casey.
You dont get to Roe, without that, PLUS getting Stevens or Ginsburg off the Bench.
Stenberg.
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
Bush was with PM Howardf this morning. Howard is an attorney. The liberals want a more European flavor on the courts. Bush is nominating John Howard for SCOTUS!!!
YAYYYYYYYY
"Partly because of this strategery, I think that if the President can't get a Conservative approved as a replacement for Stevens or Ginsberg due to a filibuster then he should nominate Jeff Sessions. That would effectively nuke the Senate by forcing the 'Rat Senators to choose between alienating their base or causing a complete meltdown of comity and cooperation."
DAMN! I love it! Now THAT'S thinking!
Did you know that Sessions would be on the C of A except he was blocked by George Mitchell??? So....this would be the most awesome piece of poetic justice in a long time!
You know, FDR was a freaking communist. But he understood power and he knew how to wield it. In that sense, putting Black on the court and doing it with a one finger salute to the Senate is truly masterful...brilliantly confrontational, really legendary.
I love it....wish you were Prez!
Alas, though, I think it is going to be the moderate woman with the beautiful hair cut....
amen
The Lindsey rumor has been going on down here for weeks. On several other threads I picked him as a dark horse. I would be glad to rid him of his senate seat here, but SC? not sure I like that either.
