(11,464 posts)but John Roberts and Clarence Thomas would NOT have been nominated in the first place
Do you not see the folly of stupid protest votes throwing elections time and again?

and then railing against the Democratic presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama
What part is not obvious- protest votes, tearing down a democratic president-
all it did was get 41,43 and will get Jeb.
If not one other thing happens good or bad, I am voting straight democratic.
If all the people who voted for President Obama and Hillary Clinton in the democratic primary in 2008 vote for whomever is the democratic candidate in 2016, no matter whom, makes no difference it will be better than the Bush's coming back.
It's not tearing the party and then Hillary down. It is beating the Bush's and Jeb by the largest landslide.
Because nothing else matters 13 years later debating 2000 than the fact that W was seated.
And tearing our President and Hillary down will lead directly to Jeb.
Why if one hates W, would they want Jeb? Makes NO sense.
The answer for Ralph Nader is- don't anyone consider anyone but the democratic nominee for president in 2016.
Then Alito,Roberts,OConnor, Thomas,Scalia,Kennedy would not have been named
And we would have great people like Sonia Sotomayer and a suitable replacement for Thurgood Marshall, not the joke that was Clarence.
Teddy put up a great fight stopping Bork and attempting to stop THomas.
However, his fight in 1980 was the wrong time and his not reuniting with Carter helped with other things to get all of those future SCOTUS picks.
One has the legal right to do anything. But then one should have the moral responsiblity to see what was done.
