<US-Male> Bloc, that's fine with me
<Bloc> yep:)
<US-Male> the vote says it all
<Bloc> not fine for us who want the process
<Bloc> if you had 9 thomas's on the court...you'd see lawyers speak for 3 hrs
<TimothyW> DarthBurg : She decided that she was to far flung for the job.
<Bloc> nothing by thomas..and suddenly a verdict
<US-Male> "process" is usually wasting time
<DarthBurg> we will see who he picks next.
<RustyFord> if yer happy and you know it and you want yer face to show it , if yer happy and you know it slap yer face
<Bloc> these worst kind of judge possible
<US-Male> there's too much "process" in the world
<jhicks> US-Male: you oughta be a software developer these days
<Bloc> as it doesn't shed any light on the current participants or future participants how the decision was made
<jhicks> process overload
<US-Male> someimes, the more intelligent justices are able to make up their minds more quickly.
<Bloc> that process is more important than any vote
<JanetB> from what lindsary graham ....said... she withdrew over the dems wanting all the papers from her advising the president
<RustyFord> Thomas sings like Hank WIlliams "Theres a pube in my coke and its really not a joke, I'm so lonesome I could cry"
<JanetB> and she did not feel that those papers should be released
<Bloc> cause SCOTUs are not only deciding, but they are showing by example the process to validate decisions
<jhicks> JanetB: I think I agree with US-Male, she was a decoy
<US-Male> JanetB, well if so then it's a sign of weakness.... Repubs give up to easy
<jhicks> a brilliant manuver
<US-Male> too
<Bloc> i think miers is a decoy:) I'm waiting judgy mcrighty from extreme conservative city now
<US-Male> mabe she was a decoy
<US-Male> err
<jhicks> hrm, my spelling sux on thursday
<US-Male> maybe
<Bloc> if the judge is not a female i'll be annoyed
<compdoc> http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi
<US-Male> we don't need "female for female" trades on teh court
<JanetB> US... well yes and no.... what she advised the president on, private
<Bloc> just need more females
<jhicks> bleh
<Bloc> period
<US-Male> ideally it would be around half female but a female can replace a male or a female
<jhicks> Ashcroft would be a terrible justice
<DarthBurg> yeah I know, ashcroft is not right wing enough
<jhicks> I'd rather have Robert Bork
<MikeyD> i think they should nominate zell miller
<RustyFord> Nooo! They killed Doris?!? Those bastards!
<RustyFord> heh
<Bloc> oh well:)
<US-Male> lol yeah bring Bork in there ;P
<Bloc> miers was bunk...told ya so
<jhicks> MikeyD: Zell isn't what he appears to be
<MikeyD> and that is?
<jhicks> MikeyD: I'm in north georgia
<DarthBurg> is Judge Roy Moore available?
<US-Male> yeah pu Zell in there
<RustyFord> Bork, what a name
<US-Male> put
<MikeyD> he was my gov for 8 years, so i think i i know him pretty well
<JanetB> now left is saying it is a real shame that a group of right wing people can derail a presidental nomination hahah
<MikeyD> and its not that i agree with all of his actions, but i think hes rather well balanced
<RustyFord> I wonder if he was called Robert Pork when he was a kid
<US-Male> JanetB, I'm suprised she gave up so easy
<JanetB> me too
<DeDannan> Porky Bork
<US-Male> they can ask for things, doesn't mean they get them
<US-Male> all she has to do is say "no"
<JanetB> but I do not think it was ALL right wing
<jhicks> Ellijay
<MikeyD> ah
<RustyFord> Schumer was sitting there the entire time shooting down Miers
<hans_kung> Bork had that unibomber look though...not good to see the unibomber on a court bench
<MikeyD> i just moved back to Athens from Los Angeles last month
<RustyFord> i can't wait until Bush picks a real ***wipe now
<TimothyW> Robert Bork didn't look like no Unibomber.
<jhicks> MikeyD: he screwed a bunch of locals I know and they all hate his guts.
<RustyFord> throws it in the dems face and tells them to eat **** and die
<MikeyD> watch him pick some zealot
<DarthBurg> The Donk Media will spin it as a loss for Bush, a win for Democrats, and proof he is a moron, in other words, no change
<JanetB> bye all off to work
<hans_kung> yah, pick a real ***wipe this time! That will teach the Senate!
<US-Male> all she has to do is say "NO, don't be stupid - it's illegal for me to gve you documents which violate attorney-client privilege"
<MikeyD> how did he screw them?
<jhicks> MikeyD: I'm not sure of the details but these are people I respect a lot.
<RustyFord> Mikey yeap, pick some zealout and it will p***
<jhicks> Real estate deals
<hans_kung> actually, she did say that
<US-Male> if she gave up those documents she could be disbarred
<hans_kung> not enough votes for her, she's not dumb.
<US-Male> for violating attorney-client privilege
<jhicks> MikeyD: and they're conservatives...
<RustyFord> ohh you guys! Civilization 4 is awesome!
<RustyFord> =))
<MikeyD> id like to see that. even with me being viciously against dems, i really liked zell
<US-Male> Zell's getting old though
<MikeyD> yeah, i know
<US-Male> I'd like to see someone about 50 in there
<US-Male> or 45
<DeDannan> Roberts is 50-ish, right?
<MikeyD> id like to see myself in there
<US-Male> that way the appointmet lasts longer
<MikeyD> id be the best SCJ there ever was
<jhicks> US-Male: Maybe one of the Baldwin brothers would be a balanced choice for hollywood?
<US-Male> actually, I wished Miers was younger
<jhicks> so she wouldn't be so ugly?
<US-Male> so the appointment lasts longer
<jhicks> oh
<US-Male> she looked younger than her age
<US-Male> looks
<jhicks> botox
<TimothyW> The Baldwin Brothers have no justification to be in Politics but if one ran for office then it's the justification comes from the people of the people and by the people.
<jhicks> haha
<RustyFord> Scotty Baldwin is VERY VERY republicans
<TimothyW> So,
<MikeyD> the people have such a great working knowlege of the constitution dont they
<US-Male> I think Bush had straw polls that indicated she wasn't a probable confirmation
<US-Male> not enough votes
<MikeyD> ****, the "people" cant even tell you who their elected officials are
<DeDannan> US-Male, thats the only reason for the withdrawal...
<US-Male> probably
<DeDannan> despite what any side may want to think...if Dubya knew he had the votes..we'd be saying Justice Miers...
<US-Male> it's hard to guess
<TimothyW> MikeyD : that doesn't mean anything.
<MikeyD> actually yes, it does
<MikeyD> it means that stupid people should be voting in the first place and that the will of the people isnt always the correct path to take
<jhicks> ok, off to the lake for some fishin.
<US-Male> it doesn't bother me anyway, Bush still gets to name another one
- perch slayer
<MikeyD> thats why were a nation of law, not a nation of man
<US-Male> I hope he picks someone more conservative
<TimothyW> MikeyD : you go out and teach people who the Politicians are you would be confused for being a Politician.
<DeDannan> I hope he picks someone who likes barbecue
<MikeyD> the new deal and the great society were direct violations against the constitution, but the people still wanted it
<TimothyW> MikeyD : The New Deal got caught with it's pants down in the Supreme Court at the time.
<MikeyD> everyone always wants a quick fix to their problems, not to find ways to fix their own problems themselves
<TimothyW> MikeyD : blah
<MikeyD> and just as its been said before, a government thats big enough to give you everything is a government big enough to take it all away from you
<DeDannan> the wheels on the bus go round and roung..round and round..round and round
<MikeyD> and lately, that seems to be the going trend
<TimothyW> MikeyD : It's about Accountability.
<MikeyD> DHS, patriot act, affirmative action, ED abuses, unlawful wiretapping
<MikeyD> yeah, and the people are supposed to be accountable for themselves
<MikeyD> whens the last time you saw that happen
<MikeyD> katrina was a good example of that wasnt it?
<TimothyW> If you have Accrediblity then you have the Accountability to know what is what.
<TimothyW> MikeyD : Katrina isn't a good example.
<MikeyD> sure it is
<TimothyW> nope.
<MikeyD> the people who are supposed to be accountable for themselves sufferend different fates in that whole situation
<MikeyD> the ones that waited on government to serve their every need died, the people who chose to take their own responsibility for their safety and well being, lived
<US-Male> yeah but the primary controversy was state vs. Federal
<MikeyD> why was it a federal issue in the first place
