Which is an interesting commentary on the state of the Supreme Court
appointment and confirmation process.

Clearly there are several members of the court who have expressed a
desire to retire or who are demonstrably in declining
health--Rehnquist, O'Conner, Ginsberg for example. Note one
conservative, one swing and one liberal in their judicial temperment.

Bush sought to have them delay retirement until '02 hoping for a
greater majority in the Senate and therefore easier confirmation. That
didn't occur. During the second half of his first term, he was forced
to ask them to hold still longer (at least the conservative/swing
member--the liberal member would delay hoping for a more sympathetic
president/senate to determine her replacement.)

Now, the '04 election will very clearly determine if the floodgates
for a court transition are opened or simply trickle. We might have to
see deaths on the Court rather than retirements.

It isn't uncommon for a presidential term to go by without
appointments to the Court--the average through the history of the
court is about one per term and since there are plenty of examples of
multiple appointments in a term, there are necessarily a lot of
no-appointment presidential terms.

They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates.

So, if Bush is so stupid, why is he President and you're just a

man?

Because the supreme court elected him,

Ah, another person who wasn't paying attention to the US and Florida
Supreme
Court decisions. Read up on it and come back.

You notice that no supreme court justice has retired during this

And?

Remember the other guy had more people vote for him

Umm, the President isn't elected by popular vote. Go read the
Constitution
and come back.

What? Not finished reading it yet?

No, he didn't.

The (totally irrelevant) "popular vote" had a margin of error greater than
the difference in numbers.

In other words, the most you can say about the (totally irrelevant) "popular
vote" is that "out of those ballots that were actually counted [and many
were not], it was a tie."

Jeeze, this is what, the third time in two months this has been thoroughly
explained and then discussed?

(OBTW, just because the "popular media" continues to repeat the lie of "Gore
won the [totally irrelevant] popular vote" doesn't make it any less a lie.
It just means that those in the popular media are stupid. But we know that
already.)

Apparently, flying in a B-26 doesn't inoculate one from arrogance,
stupidity, historical illiteracy or bad judgment.

Now you sound like Mike Allen at the Washington Post who says:

experts."

Whoever the **** that is.

Kramer, you're a ****-up. Your whole racist crew was a ****-up.

It's because he doesn't know. He is uneducated and unintelligent.

You forgot incompetent, insufferable and incontinent.

aircrew?
