1. Geee, I guess ruling in favor of Bush on the torture issue had a big price

tag eh?

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Fine, cause the Senate better not confirm anyone

at this point. We have a disaster to deal with. Let Roberts rot waiting for his hearings.

3. A new racist to replace the racist Rhenquist.....Surprise!!

Fire them all.

[Solly Mack]

4. watching BLECH

[Be Brave]

5. Is there no end to this nightmare?

7. This will distract the media for the day,

and give the Chimpenator space to do whatever he wants down in Louisiana. Or should I say, let the U.S. Army do whatever it wants.

8. Well, guess this gives him room

to nominate a woman to take Sandra Day O'Connor's place. Who do you figure? Janice Rogers Brown or Priscilla Owen?

There's a REASON we didn't want those two on the bench!

I think I'm going to be sick.

10. we must NOT let this happen! . . . Bush is a liar, a thief, and . . .

a murderer, not to mention an illegitimate president . . . he has no business nominating ANYONE to anything, particularly the Supreme Court . . . we need to get creative and stop this atrocity, or we'll be living with neo-conservatism for the next 40 years . . .
