Preemptive sadness?
-
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
For good reason. I fully expect such ads to pollute my entertainment and fillibusters aplenty in the Senate.Originally posted by DanS

We'll finally get a SCOTUS that can read the US constitution.Originally posted by The Emperor Fabulous
Look forward to nothing but conservative-led decisions from now on.
And of course, I look forward to the Left going crazy. They'll accuse Bush's nominee of being a dangerous Nazi extremist who eats babies. They'll warn us that another conservative on the SCOTUS will mean the end of all our freedoms, the US will become an evil oppressive theocracy where everyone worships Bush.
It'll be hilarious to watch.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I'm not uneasy about Bush not for this reason anyway. However, given the past record of the DNC and Moveon I'm prepared to see lots of ZOMFG Bush nominated one of teh evil conservatives to the SCOTUS! ads. And I believe the filibuster deal will collapse in the face of this "extraordinary circumstance."I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

We'll finally get a SCOTUS that can read the US constitution in the way that my particular beliefs demand it to be read.
Of course, why it should be surprising that liberals would be concerned over potentially ultraconservative SCOTUS picks is beyond me. Was the religious right thrilled for Ginsburg or Breyer as nominees?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

The extraordinary circumstances deal certainly is an interesting feature of this process.

She was a voice of moderation and reason on the Court.
Losing her wisdom makes this a sad day for America.

If we end up getting another moderate out of this, I will be completely flabbergasted. Now we'll truly see if the spine transplant Dean has given the Dems is anything more than temporary and illusionary.
What if the Chief goes too? Would Bush be more likely to nominate a more moderate judge if he had two slots to fill?"My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

She was 75... probably didn't want to die while listening to oral arguments. Would have been difficult for her to put off her retirement any further, especially if she wanted a few years away from all the hubbub before she passes on.
Oh, and Bush's approval rating means he probably won't try to nominate someone like his AG Gonzales. He's spent much of his political capital on Iraq anyway.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

IIRC, her husband is really sick. I think she wants to spend her time with him in HIS last years, not hers.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Depending on things, you may just have to settle for a Kennedy. At least it probably won't be a Souter
