QuoteEven The Late Robert Bork Thought The Tea Party Was Out Of Its Mind
Bork is right to warn in that book against an ideology that "think democracy is tyranny and government by judges is freedom." Bork intended those words as an attack on social liberals, but they aptly describe the kind of conservatism that would declare Obamacare unconstitutional.  http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/12/19/1358911/even-the-late-robert-bork-thought-the-tea-party-was-out-of-its-mind/

See if Bork had been confirmed Obama would have gotten another pick for SCROTUS.

Wouldn't've been allowed to be president if Bork was on SCOTUS.

It's SCROTUS...and yes he will! Which is what this thread will evolve into eventually.



Wouldn't've?  can you say that?

Of course.  Sound it out slowly.

Chuck Hagel


GOP senators hint Hagel's in for tough confirmation fight
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/hagel-defense-secretary-face-202509981--politics.html
Lady Graham a Veteran who never saw combat but stayed safe on US soil. Hagel has two Purple Hearts and numerous other Military awards for his service in the Vietnam War. Why do the GOP Leaders that dodge the War hate a Patriot who served? Boehner drafted but cried during boot camp and was a danger to his fellow soldiers so he was discharged. McConnell served 6 months in training but was released with a fake illness. The soldiers currently overseas support Hagel and the Veterans who made it home alive support him. It seems again the Obama haters are using political attacks putting the safety of the US last.

The Republican leadership should totally make clear that Chuck Hagel is unfit to serve the nation because he is a lifelong Republican and veteran who is one of maybe three Republicans to actually admit, to this day, that the Godly and Awesome chicken hawk-infested Republican administration of George W. Bush lied elaborately and routinely to start a pointless war to kill hundreds of thousands of Muslims and thereby create the deficits that Republicans now claim is the worst thing in history. Because, you know, saying that anything has anything to do with anything shows a capacity for comprehending cause-and-effect, suggests you are open to the application of science and logic and, thus, are demon spawn.

I'm ready to fight for what's been won by our electorate, but I refuse to believe the Republicans have any ability towards progress. While we can count on very little getting done on the deficit, we can count on obstinate politics to the point of recklessness. Shameful Lady Graham cracker. She He needs to toe tap along if he's not adding anything positive.

I need to print that out. Then I'll be able to understand "Moonshiners" and "Rocket City Redknecks"
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Ya gotta admit, the Republicontins are nothing if not consistent...they advocate, advance and support a wide variety of topics until the other side compromises to go along with it, then they change their mind to be opposite what they were just in favor of. 

Single payer.  Universal health care.  Cap and Trade.  Afghanistan.  Now, turning on one of their own - Hagel.

The only problem is - that is psychotic.
