WHAT THE FU**??? HAYDEN

confirmed 78-15. How in the world could so many democrats vote for this fascist sonofabitch?

:shrug:

and, therefore, not part of the solution . . .

anyone who thinks that most House and Senate Democrats are anything other than BushCo enablers hasn't been paying sufficient attention . . .

oh wait... he voted "nay."

and will be out of office before you know it. Bush's appointments that can be gone are going. Too bad the Supreme Court isn't like that!

Absolutely a stupid idea. Even though the founding fathers had some great ideas, that was not one of them.

it took a man into his 40's to develop a sterling reputation to qualify for the court, and 70 was way above average for the lifespan. Don't have the stats, but I'd bet that the vast majority of SC appointees in the first hundred years sat for fewer than 25 years, and a significant number for fewer than 20.

Now, we get a Roberts or Scalia or Thomas in their forties, and expect to see them on the bench for 40 years. That's a significant difference. That should be reviewed. Maybe put a 25 year cap on appointments.

used to in the first centuries. I mean, who could forsee that they would live for so long? Imagine a Scalia on the Supreme Court for like 760 years.

I think a 400 year cap would have been appropriate back then. LOL

you know the Democrats strategy by now don't you? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out...

They are going to lay low until the elections and hope that by not stirring up any trouble they will look wise and statesmanlike and win big.

Is this a foolish strategy? I think so. Is it likely to work? Probably not. Will we win anyway? Perhaps.

But this is the strategy they've adopted. Shouting

ZOMG! WHY WONT THE DEMS SHOW SOME BACKBONE! WTF!!!111!!!

Every time this happens is just a ridiculous outcry, and its tiresome. Complain about them if you want, but don't act surprised...because you know why they're doing it. Puffing out your chests to show you've got the biggest outrage on the block only impresses the n00bs. And not even them soooo much.

powder" on this nominee, but he voted for his confirmation.
