A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

Okay. Hadn't seen that and didn't look for old news. Only Romney + illegals stories that are new relate to his agreement (as Mass Gov.) with the INS, so I thought you were refering to something related to that.

Oh - I see, you were operating under the naive assumption that I chose to discuss something substantive that actually affects the voters of this country. However, as usual, I was off in tabloid superficial political land.

It's only a matter of hours before the folks at KOS accuse rove of injecting Johnson with Polonium 210.

So, THAT"s where the Iraqi WMD went!! Should have known that Rove had it squirreled away all along.

yeah, it all makes sense now . . .

No such assumption here. I just had not seen anything relating to Romney's gardeners, etc. since the initial story. Guess I missed the follow-up you were talking about. My assumption, with Romney + illegals in the news today, was that you were refering to today's news.

How is that? Scalia has basically zero control in the Supreme Court, which itself has limited authority to do much.

His influence is much larger than his degree of control on the Court. In addition, he is very powerful within the Federalist Society, which is pretty much the recruiting pool for Republican government lawyers and judges.

I'd like him to wait a couple of years.

Maybe my history is off, but because Bork was turned down didn't we get Kennedy? You prefer Kennedy to Bork?

Lord yes.

Giuliani will probably appoint someone at least as swarthy.

Can anyone doubt, after observing the speed at which she jumped on the factual error of my post, that she scans this board with the sole purpose of finding excuses to comment on my posts.

You guys just need to finish up this elaborate insectoid courting ritual and just get a room.

P.S. Spanky I must say that I'm surprised that you seemingly haven't realized that you are both battlingly a deep-seated attraction. Like all others, Spanky, she wants you.

I think you overestimate his power. He may be influential, but that's because others find is intellectual power compelling, not because he's in a position to pull strings.

It's all for naught. Realize that when Spanky calls someone a "Spinster" that's code for "Of Legal Age". He won't touch her.

Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit, but in the long run, I think the idea to influence the thinking of people younger than himself in the government and judiciary will prove to be more influential than a current ability to pull strings.

Dude, ALL of your shit is obvious, but how do we prove it?
