Since when does an admitted lawbreaker get to appoint a judge?
Up or down vote! Up or down vote! BULLSHIT. This appointment shouldn't even come up for a vote until El Pretzledente is called to account for his skirting the law with regards to eavesdropping.
FILIBUSTER --- not over Alito, over ANY justice Bush names. Lawbreakers do not appoint judges.
11. No, I don't buy it...but that makes no difference.
Your OP asks "Since when does an admitted lawbreaker get to appoint a judge?"
Presidents nominate Supreme Court justices.
This President has admitted to an activity that may or may not be legal (that hasn't been decided yet). Unless it's been ruled that he committed a crime that would cause him to no longer be President, he still nominates Supreme Court justices. That's the way it works.
WTF is wrong with everybody? This rat bastard is a criminal. What makes him qualified to choose ANYONE for the HIGHEST COURT in our land? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Tom Delay got away with getting a 'different' judge, because the one who was originally set to hear the case was considered partisan. He had made a donation to PFAW (I think it was PFAW, but it was one of the more liberal watchdog groups). :wtf: I believe that both of Bush's appointees to the Supreme Court must recuse themselves from sitting on the case when Bush comes to trial. Talk about 'conflict of interest'...
