Would you doubt that * admin is setting it up so when indictements

come the SC just tosses the cases?

I have been thinking that.

Interesting that a woman who has essentially spent the last decade keeping Bush out of legal hot water has been nominated for the SCOTUS

power????

They noticed they hadn't legalized quite everything they wanted to engage in so they needed a fall back plan.

Let us hope Thomas and Fat Tony are pissed enough at being passed over for the BIG CHAIR that they put the weasels** on ice given half a chance.


** deepest apologies to any real weasels in the audience for the comparison

Doesn't seem a constitutional matter to me. Then again, I do claim judicial ignorance ;)

anything besides setting everything to protect itself. What have we seen that shows he would keep any institution/organization's mission intact? Seems that whatever is necessary for them to win or keep power is fair game to manipulate for their own greed.

Unless, of course, the plan is to further undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court by adding more partisan hackery on to the Bush v. Gore type decisions.

Regardless of their political positions, both Dems and GOP attorneys and judges would be up in arms. The USSC would be destroyed, our legal system would be in virtual chaos and Bush would have bought himself MUCH more trouble than even the most brain-dead PNAC neocon could have ever imagined.

but, buying trouble for themselves has been a constant in this admin...Don't see that preventing them continuing it.

But, even the MSM and the general public would be up in arms if a miers-roberts cabal managed to fuck up the whole nation. Not just the legal eagles or judiciary.

But you are right. I would not rest easy until they are all out of office and in jail where they belong.

Doesn't seem to be reason enough to nominate Miers.

The reason for picking her is to avoid controversy and try to calm moderates and women who, because of the war, and the hurricane fiasco, and gas prices, and the economy, are abandoning not only chimpy, but the repugs in general as we approach the 2006 election.

It doesn't surprise me that his wingnut base is screaming about this appointment. He doesn't need to placate them, they have no where to go. He needs to stop the bleeding among moderates and independents who have foolishly bought into the notion that the repugs will keep the country secure and prosperous (when, in fact, exactly the opposite has occured on their watch).
