Under oath, it's absolutely wrong.

Uh, no you're not. Catholics are cultists. When the Rapture comes, you and I, by poor luck of birth, will be cast to Hell with the Jews and Muslims.

Perhaps you can petition The White Trash Base to let us in. I votyed GOP twice. Thats gotta get me somewhere.

In that instance it was directed at Sebby.

Any position can be a principled stance, depending on the speaker's values. I think your right wing social views are looney tunes - card carrying crazy. Given that, what added value does calling your silly position a "principle" add to it? You're trying to create moral high ground for yourself using your own very twisted morals as a baseline. Perhaps thats why Wonk's been slapping you around. You argue from a position of superiority that exists nowhere but between your ears.

None of that makes her anymore qualified. And she's not.

Oh, you can sink plenty far... Like, say... killing 2000 people to test Billy Kristol's daddy's pet theory!

I don't buy that. The Catholics invented the religion of the white trash. I am an originalist.

He's with me right now. He said "hi", and also said "to take your hands out of your pants, it's rude to fondle yourself when typing the babyjesus' name".

So, if she came out tomorrow and said "I will vote to overturn Roe," you'd still say no to her nomination. Would you support a nominee who was qualified, but was pro-choice, over Miers?

Although that's still 1000 short of the blood on Clinton's hands from his testing of the theory of "complete abdication of duty to national security for 8 years".

Neeeeew... the Catholics invented the religion of keeping the trash in check. That shit the trailer folks in the bible belt worship in their stadium churches is the favored myth of the American Inbred. That religion actually empowers those uneducated vermin to start fucking around with politics. The Catholic Church was all about keeping the believers complacent and tithing.

I call this the Naive argument. It was Naive for the the US to make it better. Although I don't agree with that argument I can respect it.

What was capital-N Naive was invading Iraq on the premise that we could remake it in our own, democratic image. Hope and faith are not policies. I think it's now clear who was Naive.

Yes and sure, although if Bush made that nominee it would be a let down because of the breach of his word. I had no problem with Ginsburg and Breyer when Clinton nominated them. They were qualified and I didn't expect that Clinton wouldn't nominate someone pro-Roe. I don't think that they should have been denied seats because of that view.
