What shear brilliance! Who vetted this dweeeeeeb? Oh yeah, Darth vetted them. Can we expect brilliant sound bites like this one from the court in the future? I can't wait.

"The way to stop slavery is to stop enslaving people, this opinion has concluded."

5. I honestly believe we will have to pack the court.
We cannot afford this kind of bullshit anymore.

7. Pack the court? How?
Assuming we take the white house in '08 how many SC justices can we expect to step down in the next presidents term?

Powerful white men don't die they just fade away. Very very slowly...

8. You increase the number of Justices
It has been done before, the number is not specified in the constitution.

10. ROTFL!
It reminds me of when one of our politicians (possibly Neil Kinnock) observed, "There has been an increase in crime, due to a rise in the crime rate." No kidding!

11. When I read that quote from Mr. Roberts on Thursday afternoon
my first thought was :wtf:???

All I can say is that late Earl Warren must be rolling in his grave at such a stupid remark.

Once again, how did this man ever graduate from any "accredited" law school. Can someone tell me what year he graduated from Regent University Law School?? :sarcasm:

12. Law school? I was wondering if he graduated 3rd grade
Honestly, I don't even think the average 3rd grader would say something this stupid.
