Roe v. Wade - Locked in.
 
There was some lawyer on Charlie Rose last night whose sole job is cases before the Supreme Court. He also teaches at Harvard and Stanford. Anyone see this? He said he did not think Roberts was as conservative as Rehnquist. He also did not think he would overturn Roe v. Wade.

I don't think Miers is going to vote to overturn it either. That is still just two votes to overturn it.

Nicely condenscending and dismissive. It's tough being in the party of the hopelessly out of touch, no?

There is no poll for common knowledge. Once it rises to that status you don't need a poll, anymore than you need a weatherman to see which way the wind is blowing.

Between this post and your bukkake post about Penske's mother (posted on the LWK Board!), you are indeed in rare form.

In answer to your question, Democrats are the original party of the Big Tent, and have accepted a number of non-KKK members in recent years. His antitrust posts would cause him more trouble, but Burger would be fine with us.

Original party of Big tent? Hmm,. my recollection is that teh demos are the original party of slavery and the Reps are the original party of emancipation. How are you defining big tent?

And while I'm not here anyways...
 
While I have no objection to the destruction of Smurfs and the depiction of same in general, I think this is sick.

I've been gone, and, as you might imagine, you're baffling me here.

I dunno if it's "support" so much as exude astonishment and amusement at the fratricide it's caused.

For me, I was working from an assumption that we were getting a firebrand conservative. As I've said before, having someone unqualified worries me too.

The overall effect is to be prepared for the Grim Reaper and suddenly be presented with a Court Jester. The Jester will eventually trouble me too, but for the moment let me just feel some relief and enjoy the show.

Kerry who?
 
The former presidential candidate who, during his election campaign, proudly contrasted his military service during the Vietnam War with that of President Bush's National Guard service - and who once led an organization of Vietnam veterans protesting the war in Vietnam - is being sued by some Vietnam veterans.

The Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation is a plaintiff along with Red, White, and Blue Productions, and Vietnam veteran turned journalist Carlton Sherwood, in a defamation action against current Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and Tony Podesta, who was Kerry's Pennsylvania campaign manager.

The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia, claims that Kerry and Podesta libeled, slandered, and caused financial harm to the plaintiffs as they sought to prevent the presentation of Sherwood's documentary movie Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal before the 2004 presidential election.

I support these Patriotic Vets. It's a damn shame the way feckless cowardly haters treated (and still treat) our honourable soldiers from that era. I hope these heroes get their pound of flesh, and then some.

What's amusing about a nomination that is potentially catastrophically damaging to our Republic? You lefties have a strange sense of humour.

Given how the Dems can always be counted to tow the party line, I guess it would be astonishing that some of us would openly criticize our party leaders when they make wrongful decisions.

A nickel to anyone who recognizes the Re line.

I assumed you were talking about Jeb and I agreed with you, but Spanky said yesterday that Ds can't agree with Rs. Kind of a star-bellied Sneetches thing, I think.

The only warning I get from them is:
1) Don't eat too much
2) Make sure your clothes are tailored so that if you did eat too much, it isn't obvious
3) Don't get caught by a photographer while making a face
4) Photoshop is a dangerous tool in the hands of someone other than Hank's "wife".

Not you in particular, but GOP elected officials? From the record from 2000-2005? Keeping the Medicare vote open for 420 hours? Only "majority of the majority" measures reach the floor? Etc., etc.?

Well, yeah.

Exactly, and for some or all of those things you should thank me.
