:dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:


..and there is a damn fine chance for a third, since Justice Stevens is over 80 and will probably retire within the nexy 12 months.
You are funny. I think you are just trying to yank someone's chain. It is about as likely that Stevens will retire as it is for you to vote for your beloved Hillary for president. I would also be surprised if Rhenquist were to retire. But hey, I don't want to ruin your great day. ;)

I hope Scalia winds up as Chief Justice....
:)
I think we should nominate Bill Clinton. He was an attorney before his disbarment after all. :D Could you imagine Scalia's dissents then? It would make for funny reading.

Funny you should mention this... I was just thinking how fun it would be to have a Justice Kenneth Starr.

:p

Maybe if another steps down both could get nominated and then things would get real fun. :evil:

Yepper... doesn't Justice Ginsburg have colon cancer..? Perhaps she will be stepping down before the next PotUS election.

America, say hello to the straightened coat hanger! And you might want to say goodbye to freedom of press, privacy, etc.

Nope. And with a new Supreme Court it will not.
Wow, you really are living in denial. Have you somehow not noticed the massive, overridding trend in legislation since GW came to power?

I can't wait for the day when muslim, jewish, buddist, athiest, et al children are forced to learn about jesus and pray to jesus at school. And even better when women no longer have the ability to choose for themselves to have an abortion so they have to start going back to using coat hangers or unmonitired underground facilities, serves them right! Or when we get rid of this stupid minimum wage law, let the employeers decided how little to pay someone not the government. I especially can't wait until only the upper class can afford health care, i bet the hospitals won't smell bad anymore with those middle class people stinking up the joint. Same thing with college and housing. Yep the future looks pretty bright to me here in the good ol U.S.S.A.!

PS - Rehnquist will not be retiring anytime soon according to a letter he wrote to the media today.

Perhaps he has a secret love of dictatorships and facsism. He obviously has no love of freedom and liberty.

Sadly you are not too far off. Though this seems to be the natural progression of a capitalist based society who values bright shiny objects more than their fellow humans.
