I want Alito to mix in some hickups and lots of "AAHH"s and "UUMMs" into his responses to this fat slob kennedy. Alito's demeanor will drive edward wild.
I hope you are right. If he doesnt give clemency, than i am glad he delayed his decision. Less time to appeal to US Supreme Court. Unfortunatly, I think he is going to give clemency for this same reason. If his mind was made earlier and it was to reject clemency, he would have made this public to allow 1 last chance at appeal. Perhaps this political novice will impress us but I am not counting on it.
"It should be hard for our government to put a man to death."
No it shouldn't. The gov't doesnt order people to death, the people do. It is the people's interest that maked the death penalty legal. It is a jury that requests the death penalty.
It should be hard for the government to overturn the people's wishes, not the other way around.
Notice this article referred to "France's conservative government"? An article on Fox commented how DeV said he was sorry police tear gas landed near a mosque. Perfect example of appeasement. Instead of saying stop or we will shoot every last one of you, France says "I am sorry".
Several conservatives complained about John Roberts as well for much the same reasons as Miers. Bush promised Scalia/Thomas. Roberts and Miers do not have a solid track record proving to the Bush supporters (and donors) that they are in fact in this mold. Remember Ann Coulter's comments? Was she sexist?
What a ridiculous claim. Laura Bush truly embarassed herself this morning. She is in no position to endorse a SCOTUS nominee and looked entirely out of step. She talked about "accomplishments". If you look just at accomplishments, wouldnt you say Bill Clinton is accomplished? Being accomplished has nothing to do with ones judicial philosophy.
