[Frank_2001]

The 'Rats will be completely unhinged at the Roberts hearings; I think we can anticipate a boatload of barely disguised anti-Catholic bigotry and probably other nasty critters on display.

Description: Brian Lamb interviews Chief Justice William Rehnquist on his new book, Centennial Crisis: The Disputed Election of 1876" at the U.S. Supreme Court. The book is an examination of the disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden. The Chief Justice explores how Congress found a way to resolve the national impasse by creating a bipartisan electoral commission comprised of members of the U.S. House, Senate, and Supreme Court to decide who would become the nineteenth President of the United States.

Author Bio: William Rehnquist has been the Chief Justice of the United States since 1986. Prior to his nomination as Chief Justice by President Ronald Reagan, he served as an Associate Justice on the Court for Fifteen Years. He has previously served as an assistant attorney general at the Justice Department during the Nixon administration. He is the author of several other books on Supreme Court history.

[Conservative til I die]

I hate to ask this. How long before the leftwing dim nims say his death was to take spotlight off of NOLA?

Heh. Too bad you didn't see the post immediately before yours. The scumbags and bastards over at DU have already been at it.

[clintonh8r]

Expect a filibuster.

Yes...the RATs will claim "extraordinary circumstances" and the RINOs will all nod in agreement.....

[chrispycsuf]

sorry...will bring myself to a more calmer level..just so much news in one week...and the onslaught of attacks against me in this thread

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

LOL!! thanks, I needed a few good laughs tonite. could someone please tell the Libs to buy a basic text on American government? ha.

[alancarp]

Dubya is a better poker player than that, he will probably wait until Roberts is confirmed to announce his nomination.

Right. No way Bush hassles the Roberts nomination with another name to make everybody on the Left stir the pot.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I thank him for his years of public service.

As do I.

Now we get to witness the upcoming spectacle of mindless Borg Democrat Senators interrogating the replacement for this honorable man. We should honor his memory by mercilessly beating these heathen into the dirt.

[Txsleuth]

Dang---I missed "The Great One"!

I don't think the American public is going to be in the mood for the Senate to "play games" right now...with their delay tactics...and memo requests and such...

They have seen a huge chunk of "real life" this week...and the games that politicians play just aren't gonna fly right now!!!

[Darksheare]

Yeah, the trolls seem to love showing up during high news item moments.

but as MamaB said, "We'll always find 'em."

[JohnBDay]

God bless the chief. He was a great justice.

[Deo volente]

Yes, the devil is alive and well in America:

I think the liberals know their days are numbered with the SCOTUS the way the media is acting tonight.

Has anyone heard a word from the Senate RATs?

[potlatch]

Oh yes, the MSM will be right in the middle of it all. Just look at what happened in Aruba the minute we stopped watching, they let all three of those boys out of jail!

[Hank Rearden]

Take your medicine, Hank!

Did that. Took too many, in fact. Bad move. See those horns in my photo? Those darn pills made me all . . . . well, the picture speaks for itself.

I do believe I just ran this thread right off the rails. Well, it's late Saturday night and I'm still working so I'm entitled!

Too many events recently. Somebody call the event coordinator and tell him to knock it off for a while!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Fantastic!!!
