Re: Thats stupid..
did you ever have any doubt they would win?
Look at how they just ruled on the ability for one private organazation's ability to "Steal" someones property from them without (in my opinion) adequate compensation...
Say for example, I have a little place with easy access to the sea, and some large comercial company wants to put up a nice hotel there.... Think I'll get yearly payments on what I lost.... snot on your life... |

| Your off topic, and GW didn't grant anything in that. It was the supreme court, and how many supreme court judges had GW appointed? if you look here »www.supremecourtus.gov/about/bio···rent.pdf they were appointed by Regan, Ford, George Herbert Walker Bush, and Clinton, and if you look into their histories, they mostly lean to the liberal side. They are all old and out of touch in my opinion, just think how easy it is to get your grandpa or grandma scared/worked up over something that they don't understand....
If you don't want you local politicians to be able to bulldoze your house, you better participate in your local government! |

moronic, contrived Bush bashing
said by IT Guy  :Especially now that local municipalities looking to expand their property (and subsequently their tax base) can bull-doze your place down, if you don't want to sell it off. Thank GW for granting local politicians the right to invoke eminent domain and put their citizens out on their ass. #1. Bush has NOTHING to do with the Supreme Court
#2. THE LIBERALS ON THE COURT are wholly responsible for "granting local politicians the right to invoke eminent domain and put their citizens out on their ass", EVERY CONSERVATIVE JUSTICE dissented from that opinion!
said by IT Guy :Cripes... It's all a matter of semantics with you people. Lighten up and pull your head out of the sand. The CURRENT administration let it go through. You lighten up and YOU pull your head out of the sand, and while you are at it go back to 2nd grade and learn how our federal government works. You must have missed school the day the teacher went over seperation of powers, checks and balances, stuff like that.
said by IT Guy :It's packed with conservatives and they are ruling the way the administration wants them to. Wrong and wrong. There are 4 liberals and 3 conservatives, with 2 swing votes. 'Packed with conservatives' my ass. Your ignorance of both basic civics as well as the most rudimentary info on a court you rant about in your quest to attack Bush is astounding. |

If it weren't for the Supreme Court, Bush likely wouldn't even be in office now.
And Bush does appoint S.C. justices (i.e. Rehnquist's replacement).
But true, he has nothing to do with the SCOTUS' current rulings. One could argue that he has influence over some of the conservative justices like Scalia, but that's more Cheney's bailiwick. (quack  )

No matter what you little Bush minions have to say is irrelevant to me. It's the same crap I hear spew out of your mouths everyday with your so-called legitimate media, Faux News brainwashing. To sum it up, you're just wasting your breath. Bush and his admin SHOULD have NOTHING to do with the S.C. But government is so crooked, that it isn't the way it works in practice. |

said by tapeloop :If it weren't for the Supreme Court, Bush likely wouldn't even be in office now. False. An investigation of the Florida ballots confirms that had the US Supreme Court not intervened to overrule the Florida Supreme Court's illegal order to continue counting ballots, Bush would have won ANYWAY.
said by tapeloop :And Bush does appoint S.C. justices (i.e. Rehnquist's replacement). Bush has not appointed anyone to the USSC. This means Bush has, to date, had nothing to do with the US Supreme Court.
said by tapeloop :But true, he has nothing to do with the SCOTUS' current rulings. This is obvious, except to partisan liberals hell-bent on attacking Bush.
said by tapeloop :One could argue that he has influence over some of the conservative justices like Scalia, but that's more Cheney's bailiwick. Scalia can be friends with whoever he likes, that does not mean Cheney writes Scalia's opinions.

Of course every good nutjob has to discredit every voice or reason as an agent of some evil shadowy conspiracy, otherwise some common sense might leak into your thinking and throw your whole freakish funhouse-mirror worldview upside-down. |

Well, I should have known better than to jump in the middle of a bipartisan rant.
IT Guy: You won't win your argument with dogma, unsupported conjectures and name-calling.
Kaltes: You won't win your argument with dogma, unnecessarily caustic speech and name-calling.
Switching to decaf does wonders. Green tea is even better.
If anyone wants me, I'll be outside getting some sun. The LCD screen ain't cuttin' it.
