I wish Justice Robert's and his family well, however, Pat Robertson (700 Club)...

[carpe diem]

...has prayed for 'vacancies' on the supreme court in the past and God sometimes answers prayers but not in the time and manner that we might wish. You would think someone who calls himself a preacher would know that better than anyone. Be careful what you ask for. Again, I wish good health and speedy recovery for Justice Roberts, but man it would be nice if he decided to 'spend time with his family' and resigned from the court. Sigh.

1. Bush would just install another Republic, so what difference does it make?

[dweller]

3. who would have to be approved by congress

i believe.

dp

[Sherman A1]

4. True, but the confirmation hearings would be very entertaining

this time around. I suspect that they would be much less deferential.

:popcorn:

[tavalon]

19. Really?

I haven't seen much of a change in them.

[shenmue]

2. Prayed for vacancies...

Why, how sweet of him.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Pat Robertson is a douche.

[still_one]

5. In all honesty I neither wish him good or ill. He believes corporations are individuals

which I believe are not in our best interest

The guy will help destroy the middle class, and as far as I am concerned I could care less about his welfare, because he could care less about mine

What comes around goes around

8. well said

the posturing here on DU can be outrageous at times. we complain constantly about how the repukes are criminals in the same league as nazis (which they are). then when one of the nazis gets sick, a few Duers forget about the death and destruction in iraq, the robbing of the national treasury to pay for rich peoples' tax breaks, the destruction of the environment, etc and instead they hold a candlelight vigil for the repuke.

[still_one]

10. I agree. Perhaps if they consider what they are doing to our children

that would put things in perspective

[arewenotdemo]

11. Case in point: the recent DU lovefest for Tony Snow.

:nopity:

[Gato Moteado]

16. just so they can say "see, we're so much better than freepers"...

like i give a crap. i already know i'm better than a freeptard, i don't need to posture to make myself believe it.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Great point! Hey, Pat - maybe God will listen to you for once.

A vacancy on the Court? I doubt this is what Pat had in mind, but be careful what you wish for.

[LiberalEsto]

7. Shhhhhh

What if they appoint Gonzo to the Supreme Court as a replacement?

[dorkulon]

9. I hope Roberts is fine--for the next year and a half. /nt

[Bluebear]

12. I think Robertson's prayer ricocheted there! nt

[dflprincess]

13. I saw a clip of the sermon Ted Haggard gave a week of so before he was outed

He asked God that all the lies and hypocricies be revealed (he was referring vaguely to liberals). And God spake and He said "Okey, dokey Ted"

[Aviation Pro]

14. What happens in a deadlocked SC?

Especially since there's no way on God's green Earth that Motherfucker George Bush is going to put another of his fucked up nominees on the bench.

[karlrschneider]

15. It's just a deadlock...nothing happens.

;-)

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. And the strangest timing of all is that it happened right after the Democrats

finally said they wouldn't approve anymore judges during the Bush term. I know more than a few people were praying for that for the Alito hearing.

God in His infinite wisdom.

[tblue37]

18. Weren't Roberts' injuries pretty minor? n/t
