Somebody needs to stand up and say, "When you win the election, you pick the nominees. Until then, SHUT UP!!! Just shut up! Just go away! Bury yourselves in your rat holes and don't come out till you win an election. When you win election, you can put all these socialist wackos like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer all over the court but until then shut up! You are really irritating me."

Rush was on fire today!

[MaryFromMichigan]

BTTT!

[red-dawg]

You have Chuck Schumer demanding a judge summit with the White House. Democrats demanding to sit in on the selection process, which the Constitution does not allow them

Since when have libs cared about the constitution?

[hermgem]

Over a period of time, Democrats lost the House, Senate, majority of Governorships, a Presidential re election.
The majority has made and confirmed their judgment.
Let the majority be represented at this Supreme nomination.
All else is disenfranchising voters.

I loved Rush's rant today! I was cheering him on.
Hatch and Spector need to shutup.

[PhilipFreneau]

Thomas Jefferson agreed with Rush, writing: "On every question of construction [of the Constitution], carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed. -- to Judge William Johnson, June 12, 1823

... or when I hear Arlen Specter continue to rip to shreds Robert Bork

Yes Robert Bork, number 1 enemy of the liberals and libertarians for his stance on the 9th Amendment.

[firewalk]

He can do what he wants. That's exactly what he should do.

exactly...

[k2blader]

"Bush isn't running for anything again. If Bush wants to blow off the base, he can blow off the base."

Disappointed I missed most of Rush today..

[firewalk]

I'm tired of reacting. I'm tired of these Democrats acting like they won the election. Somebody needs to stand up and say, "When you win the election, you pick the nominees. Until then, SHUT UP!!! Just shut up!

WOW

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Could a Rush 24/7 member with access to today's transcript please look something up for me? Rush had this amazing quote about the "left's sacrament is abortion and their god has nine heads". I tried to write it down but I wasn't quick enough. It was the most profound thing I'd heard in quite a while and I would greatly appreciate help finding it.

[JohnBDay]

The purpose is not for the White House to send a judge up that the Senate likes. The purpose here is for the Senate to realize that if they reject this they're going to get the same thing back; if they reject that they're going to get the same thing back.

I'm not sure if that's true. After all, Nixon had two conservatives rejected and then appointed a liberal in Harry Blackmunn. And after Bork was rejected and Douglas Ginsburg withdrew his named, Reagan appointed moderate Anthony Kennedy. The Senate can shape the court.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

If I were the nominee and were asked if I thought it was activist to ignore stare decisis, my answer would be, "No, senator. Where the Constitution is in conflict with recent decisions, I believe in the stare decisis ANTE."

[SierraWasp]

Yes he was and it got me to thinking. The despicable Dems have shifted the nomination process to a democratic style political campaign and members of the court like Sandra Day O'Connor at Kennedy have changed the process of the court to one of a legislative body!

She delighted in wheelin and dealin and playin both ends against the middle and the press ate it up too! I'm really saddened to say that both Ronald Reagan's appointees have really let his legacy way down.

Obviously Judge Bork was his prime choice and even the Gipper's advisors and coaches were totally outsmarted by the Kennedy/Biden cabal.

That ol Mormon from Utah has turned into a real lame. In fact, the entire Republican contingent in the US Senate, especially people like the seven reprobates and Lott act like a bunch of sick puppies that like to chase cars and then don't know what to do when they catch 'em!!!
