Bush HAS The Votes

[dreissig]

Bush's most important supporters were seen at the "Four More Years" rally held at an exclusive country club just outside Washington. The mood was confident and celebratory, and everyone was in good cheer. Holding hands together, Justices Rehnquist, Thomas, Kennedy, O'Connor and Scalia were clearly upbeat as they chanted pro-Bush slogans. "Oh yeah!" they shouted. "We're gonna WIN!"

On Edit: Please don't take this seriously. Bush v. Gore was bad enough.

1. I find this utterly rejectable behavior of Supreme Court Judges!

I can hardly believe they can get away with this......

5. Who's Gonna Stop Them?

WASHINGTON, January 9, 2004. A somewhat inebriated William Rehnquist responded harshly to a reporter's question about his behavior at a re-election party for George Bush. "Hey, fock you!" said the tipsy Chief Justice. "When I want your opinion I'll rattle your cage."

Justice Antonin Scalia, standing nearby, could not hide his amusement. "Go get 'em, Billy!" exclaimed the noted judicial conservative. "We shouldn't even let these people in here."

15. Hey genius, he was being sarcastic

This never happened. Wouldn't be surprised if it did. SC justices are getting more and more political. Ginsberg recently got into a war of words with Delay. Justices have to stay above the fray. Lifetime appointments are supposed to shield them from political influence...insofar as that's possible.

2. Dreissig was?

A survey of Diebold and ES&S machines reveals that 82% of them intend to support Bush in November also.

Great sarc.

12. Thank You

I am spending a lot of time battling with right wingers on the Internet because it's terribly important that Bush be repudiated in November. Every now and then I have to remind them that the election was stolen and that Bush has no right to presume the support of the American people.

I am still hopping mad about the Supreme Court. What does a guy like Rehnquist do for self-respect? And the rest of them ... what disgusting people.

13. Imagine

What it is like in the SCOTUS halls these days.

The just has to be terrible bitterness about how many votes * got. The resulting loss to the constitution since he's been in office must be tearing a new asshole into the felonious five.

Remember the letter from the hundreds of law profeesors decrying the selection? That kinda stuff does not just evaporate.

Why do you think not a one of 'em has decided to retire? They know what kind of idiot would be in line to replace them.

Methinks they're hoping and praying they get a chance to show their remorse for allowing the squatter to get his foot in the door.

14. Does It Bother Them?

I wonder how much they really are bothered by their boneheaded reasoning in Bush v. Gore. I read a book of commentaries by law professors on it, and one of them said the decision was so bad it made him embarrassed to be in the law business.

Still, I think about the personalities involved. Scalia is a lost cause. Thomas shouldn't even be on the court. Rehnquist looks like he ought to have some character, but he doesn't. Maybe he's a pod. I hope Kennedy and O'Connor are suffering. They know they let their partisanship overrule their judicial sensibility.

Actually I don't think much of any of the five. None of them are as bad as Scalia, who is a piece of shit. I have to agree with the law professors in that book I mentioned. In years to come, Bush v. Gore will overshadow any of the good things this Court may have accomplished.

9. while the 14 Million Hispanic kitchen hands washed plates !!!

10. Rehnquist and Hispanics

Didn't Rehnquist start his career as a poll monitor in Arizona? I think his job was to keep Hispanics from voting. (This is not a joke!)
