While he may act on that, what's the pay day to a retired justice? Is he going to argue cases before the court (after the two-year bar)? Is he going to make speeches? What value would he add to a firm? I just don't see a huge pay day. Sure, better than $160k/year, but not for more than a few years.

Would you want him as a partner? Of the business kind?

Do you think he'd want to hold a plebiscite to determine his future?

1. None of that changes the fact as reported that Blanco still rejected the Feds offers.

2. Please avoid using Landrieu as an example of anything but a chunky shreiking female pol, as she has fully discredited herself by her violation of federal statutes by her public threats against the President. I look forward to seeing the Justice department take the appropriate action and of course she should be immediately censured by the Senate when it reconvenes. Sad, that the liberals censored Wonk and yet none are willing to step to the plate and decry Landrieu.

3. Why do you cite foreign media when it suits your partisan purposes but criticise my use of Australian media?

Anderson Cooper ripped into Landrieu a few days ago for praising Bush -- I can't believe you haven't seen that.

And I didn't criticize you for quoting Aussies. Some of best friends are Aussies. But what they were saying was pathetic.

Speaking of slaps in the face, nice to see Souter add "classless " to his repertoire of "liar" and "liberal hack".

(CNN) -- The Supreme Court released statements by seven Supreme Court justices who paid tribute to Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died Saturday. A statement from Justice David Souter is not expected, the court said.

Maybe he is bitter about the prospect of losing his family home to eminent domain, lol......

Souter spoke with reporters yesterday about Kennedy -- a fact known to those of us who bother to read newspapers -- so I guess he's "classless" because he didn't also issue a written statement? The politics of personal destruction indeed. Your ravings get dumber and dumber.

Point taken. but FWIW, sight unseen, I'd rather have a date with Fringey than NotMe. i mean assuming they'd both treat me equally nice.

Blindfolded I doubt the sex would be any different other than Fringe probably has more cushioning.

Bill Clinton looks horrible. Is he sick?

That's the price of a life of sinful excess.

Maybe I am naive, but I can't imagine that some large firm wouldn't find a value of at least $500K/year in having him on board. Couple that with 20 speeches a year at least $25K and that's million. How about conservative think thanks? Scaife et al can create one for him.

Again maybe I am naive.

Isn't Cuomo with a firm? What value does he bring? Is he actually practising on a day to day basis?

What's your point, Anderson Cooper is more unfair and biased than Landrieu. Concur, but to date what I know of Cooper's comments are that he has engaged in first amendment protected speech. Landrieu violated a federal statue by threatening the physical being of the president. Given her office it is reasonable to think that she could gain the proximity to carry it out. Given that Wonk was censored for a similar but less imminent statement, I think Landrieu should be censured by the Senate, don't you? or are you in favour of Senators and other top party officials attempting to alter the behaviour of the president and policy of the executive branch through physical threats and intimidation????

Maybe, but you may be vying for dumbest. lo-berry?

Did you read what he said? Other than some implicit words of awe related to his perservance through his cancer, there is not the requisite words of praise that the death of someone of Rehnquist's stature should elicit from a colleague. Compare and contrast Souter's words with Ginsburg's written statement and tell me Souter isn't a classless lowlife. She is a portrait of class. Surprising from the left.

OTOH, indicative of the norm, your comrade Dershowitz called Rehnquist a "thug" on Hannity & Colmes this weekend. Talk about a worthless two bit piece of shite. The fact that the leading lights of liberalism have so little respect for institution and basic societal decorum speaks to the juvenilization of the left that is another of the Clintons' legacy. Sad.

Regardless of politics, Souter is creepy. he's like their Shape Shifter.

I respect what Renquist was trying to do when he got the post Warren court, but I think many of his positions, if not meant for counter balance alone, were a bit scarry.

Do you think Notme knows how much you still pine for shim?
