WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney assured a conservative lawyers' group
on Friday that the Republican loss of Congress would not dissuade President Bush
from nominating more judges who believe in interpreting rather than making law.

"Throughout our time in office, the president has selected judges who understand
their role in the constitutional system," Cheney told the Federalist Society.

"And I assure you, nothing that's happened in the last two weeks will change his
commitment to nominating first-rate talent like John Roberts and Sam Alito,"
Cheney said, referring to the two members of the Supreme Court named by Bush.

1. Because they see nothing wrong with wasting Congressional time

and taxpayer money.

When is Cheney scheduled to be fit for his black mechanical uniform and helmet, anyway? He might as well actually LOOK like Darth Vader for the final act of this Administration.

2. Can't someone just forget to recharge his battery pack? - n/t

3. If these judges want to go through hell

for nothin, so be it.

4. This whole "interpreting rather than making law" is pissing me off

It's oversimplified claptrap. The most intusive justices are the conservative ones.

If you define "judicial activism" as overturning legislative law, the conservative judges win hands down.

5. Let the idiot nominate all he wants.

They just won't be going anywhere................

6. Are those guys trying to lose?

This partisan Republican crap is wearing extremely thin.
