I know that it is summer and most people are preoccupied with vacations and in the South and MidWest-getting the kids ready to go back to school..But, the Dems have taken off the gloves-Big Time, in the last week and they are gunning for GW!! The White House had better shake off the doldrums and get into a war footing, because the mean season has begun-never mind the Al Queda-it's the media and the Dems that are the most threatening to our freedom and liberties right now. Wake Up White House!! Don't let the Dems steam roller you,like they did 41!! Hillary and Algore are just getting tuned up, we ain't seen nothing yet!!

You've got that right. I was watching Hatch and Leahy having a prissy pissing contest at the Owen's hearings and you better believe that the 'rats mean business. And it seems like all we have on our side in the senate is Don Knotts.
And as I've been asking all along, where is the president in this fight for his judicial appointments? Again, where is the president?
And you all missed this:"The Warren court struck down federal laws in about 20 cases over 16 years, she said. The Rehnquist court, in the last eight terms alone, has done so in 32 cases. Eleven of those were states' rights cases in which the state prevailed, and many of those involved states trying to avoid "enforcement of civil rights guaranteed by federal law," Clinton said.
Sure the Rehnquist-era SCOTUS has overturned more federal laws. Why? Because the whole level of litigiousness has changed by a few orders of magnitude! Back in the Warren days common sense was treated with much greater reverence and it actually had a place at the table when court was in session. You didn't see politicians at all levels trying to codify business practices and behavior. Do you think we had warning labels on stepladders during the times of the Warren court? Were women given a million plus dollars when coffee landed in their lap?
This Clinton beastie is good. Very cunning. She really knows how to use the Big Lie. Using the claim of judicial activism against the very people who decry it most!
