putting some 'law & order' into the supreme court

let's hope district attorney arthur branch can help the shrub choose wisely.

D.A. Arthur Branch: [to Sandra] You're fired. Supreme Court Justice O'Conner: [pauses, shocked] Is this because I'm a lesbian? D.A. Arthur Branch: No, no... of course not. Supreme Court Justice O'Conner: Good... that's good...

Thank you, IMDB

nice one, tabsy.

With Rehnquist in the hospital now, I can only hope that the poor man has health insurance. Because I, and 45 million other Americans sure as hell don't.

Looks like Arlen Specter has cancer, too. Gosh, I sure hope he has health insurance.

Is there anything more cynical than nominating a candidiate with no record?

bush doesn't think the nominee should answer questions regarding political views. This is bullshit considering how much power a supreme court justice can have over all daily life. After all, they did control who was our president.

Yes. Yes they did. They had to pimp slap an out of control state court.

And for all of you about to spout off about the "5-4" decision and how partisian it was, let's all remember there was also a "7-2" decision...... (from blue's favorite source)

Al Gore publicly conceded the election after the December 12, 2000 Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore. The Court voted 7-2 to end the recount on the grounds that differing standards in different counties constituted an equal protection violation, and 5-4 that no new recount with uniform standards could be conducted. Gore strongly disagreed with the court's decision, but conceded the election "for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy". He had previously made a concession phone call to Bush the night of the election, then retracted it after learning just how close the election was. Following the election, recounts conducted by various U.S. news media organizations indicated that Bush would have won the most probable recount methods (including the one favored by Gore at the time of the Supreme Court decision) but that Gore would have won if other methods were adopted.
