Cheney: "We may need his vote when vacancies arise on the federal courts --Treat him gently."
CHENEY in Wyoming today stumping for a republican candidate:

"We believe our job is to solve big problems, not simply pass them on to the next generation. That's how we'll continue to do business. And when vacancies arise on the federal courts -- (Applause.) Treat him gently. (Laughter.) We may need his vote. (Laughter.) When vacancies arise on the federal court, the President will keep appointing outstanding judges like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito." (Applause.)


A day after election, Supreme Court returns to abortion

ASSOCIATED PRESS

9:12 a.m. November 4, 2006

WASHINGTON – Americans still will be chewing over election results Wednesday morning when the nine Supreme Court justices file into their courtroom for two of the biggest cases of the young term.

Voters in some states will be deciding whether to impose restrictions on abortions; one proposal would outlaw almost all abortions in South Dakota.

In the marble courthouse across the Capitol, this most politically charged of issues also will be under consideration.

The court will be discussing whether to uphold the first nationwide restrictions on an abortion procedure since the justices' landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade in 1973 that established a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

The cases are Gonzales v. Carhart, 05-380, and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood, 05-1382.

3. he & his love muffin
make me just as bitter as you. I can't think of a couple I despise more than these two... really. I feel for pickles, and W is almost up there with Lynn in my despising category, but the B*sh couple is a notch (hard to imagine being worse, eh?) below the Cheneys even!

The man behaves like he's pure evil.


Cheney---
"you're all going to DIEEEEEEEEEEEE if you elect democrattzzz, the terroristsss will be emboldened by our weakness if we fail to keep a republican majority, and if I haven't said it, your children will all DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

4. Ugh-love muffin? And before you go getting soft on the Stepford
wife, she's learned well from her 'love muffin'. Read this (and watch at the link):

Laura Bush on Michael J. Fox: ‘It’s Always Easy To Manipulate People’s Feelings

In an interview on C-Span, First Lady Laura Bush was asked about Michael J Fox’s advocacy for candidates who support embryonic stem cell research. Mrs. Bush responded that it was wrong for Fox and others to suggest that increased support for embryonic stem cell research could lead to cures for Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

She concluded with a thinly veiled critique of Fox: “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.” Watch it:
