I'd be more thrilled if people focused on the humour of the situation rather than dull conversations about old men who probably have sex with young boys.

Leave it to Olbermann to show how completely unfunny "Wattlegate" is.
And the turkey executioner speaks!

This "turkey executioner" crap is really grasping. Planning a 2012 mudfest?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Olbermann really does rival Palin
VP 2012?
Also, when she says "My son's Striker Brigade" I first heard "My son, Striker Brigade"...that sounds like something she'd name her kid."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The above is true. It is also a philosophical justification for the elected President to stack, or try to stack, the Supreme Court. Bush nominated at least one unqualified crony (female-type, name slips my mind). Many others in his role have done the same.
I agree with stacking, within reason. But I disagree with giving unqualified people lifetime gigs.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

True.
The Court in addition to the proper use of its judicial functions has improperly set itself up as a third house of the Congress - a super-legislature, as one of the justices has called it - reading into the Constitution words and implications which are not there, and which were never intended to be there. ...
I want - as all Americans want - an independent judiciary as proposed by the framers of the Constitution. That means a Supreme Court that will enforce the Constitution as written, that will refuse to amend the Constitution by the arbitrary exercise of judicial power - in other words by judicial say-so. It does not mean a judiciary so independent that it can deny the existence of facts which are universally recognized.
Gotta love that strict constructionism. FDR

The generally accepted term for that is "packing," not "stacking" the court...Good god.

Not all republicans supported bush. But since that was Obamas/dems main campaign thrust (all repugs are bush) , I can see how you might believe it like the rest of the masses.(\__/)

That cone is familiar to probably 90% of homesteaders that raise their own poultry for meat.
I thought it was a good idea to chase one. That was frowned upon.(\__/)

My point was obviously that "stacking the court" doesn't necessarily mean what you think it does (though it could be used that way).No ****."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
