This has to be one of the worst days I've witnessed in my 64 years on this earth.
Thank you BILL CLINTON. Because of you and your corrupt criminal dealings we have seen what appears to be the beginning of the end of our FREE AMERICA. I thought I had seen the worst of your 8 years in office - but today's action by the Ninth Circuit Court claiming the Pledge of Allegiance is UNCONSTITUTIONAL is the stark result of your unethical, radical, socialist actions against this country. After all, YOU appointed a majority of those judges.
You have left us with politicans such as Daschle, Leahy, Kennedy, Clinton et al - who do NOT care about this country. They care only for their political skins and getting and keeping POWER - their DRUG OF CHOICE. They do NOT care about issues vital to this country - war on terrorism, qualified judges, tax breaks for "middle America", etc., etc. They care only about their petty, selfish political games.
You planted a seed of greed and corruption by your actions, we are now seeing the results of that behavior - which you championed - in the fall of major corporations. You led the way - weak and greedy people followed.
Because of your actions and lies while in the WH, we now have GRADE SCHOOL children believing oral sex is o.k. After all, their President did it and said "it's not really sex". You have dumped the morals of this country in the gutter.
Due to your corruption and selling this country to our enemy, you have the blood of all those murdered on 9-11 AND in prior attacks on your hands.
How can you sleep at night?
I pray to GOD - yes GOD - that our country will be saved from the enemy within (liberal socialist America haters) and the enemy without.
In the heat of the moment I tend to agree with you; however, if you think about it having lifetime appointments isn't as bad as having them elected every so many years. When that happens the laws really do mean absolutely nothing, because then the judges will do whatever the sheeple at the time want. If it's tax the top 20% and give 1/2 of their money directly to the bottom 20% then it will be done. Judeges have so much power they can create completely new laws in one ruling. Whereas, the President needs to have congress first pass the law. This tends to keep the country on a slower course to the left. If judges were elected the leftist ones would continue to legislate from the bench, but the right wing judges would do their jobs appropriately and pass judgements based on existing laws. It doesn't take long to see who will win that race.
But a better system would probably be appointments for 10 years. This way if they do some crazy sh!t we don't have to impeach them...we just don't have to renominate them.
Sorry. I only saw your first post and wasn't reacting to you, but the concept of an "outraged" Senate, many of whom are gleeful that the destruction has gone this far. I'll read further or be more explicit, next time.
Anyhoo, guess what I just learned on another thread?
Fox News analyst Newt Gingrich said tonight said that the man who wrote the opinion, "senior" Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, had to be "brought back from retirement to fill a vacancy," all because of Senate obstructionsim.
So I guess the fact that he was a Nixon appointee doesn't really matter. It appears he was there because of Dasshole. See we all learn on FR.
I wouldn't want to be this little girl the first day of school, would you?
Now they'll discover school choice and nobody will want her. Thanks, dumb dad.

I hadn't thought of that. She's only 7; she has a lot of misery down the road. Where's her MAMA????????
A bit redundant. One adjective is sufficient and is inclusive of the other. Sort of like "Democrat Bolshevik".
I heard Harry Reid of Nevada say his two kids clerked for the ninth circuit. So, we know they're all messed up too.
Got here late, but your post is right on point. First they destroy true religion, supplanting it with their religion, properly disguised to withstand legal challenge.
The religion of Ecology
The religion of Diversity
The religion of Entitlement
The religion of Gender
The religion of Class Warfare
I could go on and on but you already know the rest.,
Great point. I can't wait to see Leahy, Schumer, et al, justify their stance on judges now.
When I called the Capitol, it seems the fla dem senator is the easiest one to get by phone so I talked to Sen. Nelson's office. (he's the one who went up in the space shuttle).
His staffer directed me to c-span but he'd already finished speaking. We have pubbie congressman in DC but our Senators (I think) are all dems. The staffer said that Nelson felt exactly the way I did. I kind of said part of the Pledge to the staffer; including "indivisible".
The bottom line is that when I want to COMPLAIN, I am very bi-partisan. But, besides complaining and signing Petitions re: the Pledge how can we push those Dubya Judges through the Senate? WORK TO GET THE VOTE OUT FOR PUBBIES IN THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE?
Someone is passing a personal greeting from me to Governor Jeb tomorrow at an educational conference. Jeb knows what good Americans we are trying to be here at FR. I don't think that Jeb would ever stand for the Pledge being denied Florida's students. Regards.
