I agree with your edit of my post. She IS evil.

[Major Matt Mason]

Yep, a disturbing quote, but one that shouldn't surprise us. The Clintons and their devoted sock puppets wiped their rear-ends with the Constitution on a regular basis for 8 years, and they would still be doing it if Gore had succeeded in stealing the election. Thank goodness at least some of the SC has an understanding of the Constitution, otherwise we would truly be living through a national nightmare.

People better wake up to what is happening with Judge Owen, who is being Borked by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

So does Bush...and he needs to start making an issue out of it or we'll have more 9th's

[tenderstone jr.]

"Perhaps even more disturbing than the court's impulse to defend state and local prerogatives is the selectivity of that impulse"

If Clinton finds defending state and local prerogatives disturbing, then wouldn't she applaud the Bush v. Gore decision?

[ozzymandus]

My God, the hypocracy and arrogance of this bitch are breath-taking. Thanks again, New York,

We'd be more than happy to put Hillary on a deserted island with her husband (That might be Justice).

I find it embarrassing to be an American represented by the devious, degenerate Clinton duo.

How embarrassing for our Nation!!

The 2000 presidential election case between George W. Bush and Al Gore ( news - web sites) is an example of a hypocritical Supreme Court majority that broadens the rights of states only when it serves conservative ends, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ( news - web sites) said.

If Hillary had ever read the Constitution she would have stumble on all kinds of information about America that she is so obviously completely in the dark about. Try this one Hillary:

Article X.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Dear President Bush, With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)

I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well

I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.

But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.

I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.

Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.

Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.
