Something I just thought of.

I think the media really wanted the 2 appointments to be a frenzy like like the appointments of Thomas or Bork. It wasn't that way for Roberts and I don't think it's going to be that way for Miers.

I laugh at that. Stupid mainstream media.
:D

WTF?

There are things you say in jest to your cornies and then there are things you actually say that get quoted. Learn the difference, George!


And, she's never been a judge before? This is the SUPREME COURT. Maybe we have a long history of appointing successful supreme court judges that have no experience. Who knows. But, it just seems wrong.

I think that line was a bit o' embellishment by Mr. Cricket.

Sorry, NA. GD's right. It was just my attempt at some John Stewartness.
:D

lol!

Well, you "had" me. I think it is probably frightening that I actually thought Georgie WOULD use that phrase.

I knew it wasn't a direct quote. It was too articulate.
:D

Well, first she needs to be confirmed. I'm not sure how I feel about this, too soon for me to form an opinon I guess.

I have to concur with Ghoulish Delight's superficial assessment, scary, indeed!

Well, im sure we will all be able to rest well knowing all of Bushes and Cheneys big corporate pals will be well protected for years to come under this court. So much for protcting the little guy.

Like the little guy is protected from the government now?

I think Breyer, Ginsberg, Souter, and Stevens - the 4 "left leaning members - were 4 of the 5 votes (along with Kennedy) who voted to allow the government to take private property from one person and give it to another under eminent domain.

Don't tell me the court is protecting the little. It isn't the responsibility of the court to do so anyway. It is their responsibility to rule on Constitutionality of cases presented.

I do not have the direct quote, but Roberts made the perfect answer when asked by...Schumer, I think it was....about protecting the "little guy". He said if the Constitution says the little guy is right, then the little guy will win. If the Constitution says the big guy should win, then the big guy will win.

I stand corrected. Thanks, GC. :)
