Is Sandy Banning one of the new couples that Michael Newdow has found to create standing ?

Nathaniel Jones talking about potential return of racial injustice.

Does Jones think we should still have Racial Quotas?

Is Sandy Banning one of the new couples that Michael Newdow has found to create standing ?

She is the mother of his child. The child he tried to USE to further his cause. She disagrees with him.

[Sacajaweau]

Bet the kid says "God Bless you", when someone sneezes.

[ncountylee]

"We have tried by phone and email to get a response from Governor Blanco's office or from her."

She needs a few days.

Had to run out for a few and just got back to the thread. Looks like we are having a lunch break.

Does anyone know where I can find a feed from Ron Reagan, Jr or Olberman so I can get a fair assesment of what is going one?

Barring those, can someone direct me to Chris Mathews?

[WoodstockCat]

thanks for the clarification.

[mware]

The vote to take him out of committee will be next Thursday,

[VRWCmember]

I thought Roberts was her replacement.....

He was initially named as her replacement. However, when President Bush named him as the nominee for Chief Justice, he became in essence Rehnquist's replacement and Sandy stated that she would remain on the bench until her replacement is confirmed. Therefore, regardless of whom Roberts is deemed to be replacing, Sandy will stay on the court until Bush names -- AND THE SENATE CONFIRMS -- another justice after Roberts.

[syriacus]

Wade Henderson opposed to John Roberts. In essence blames Roberts for "discriminigation."*

*Word coined by Senator Joeph Biden, September 13, 2005.

I'm just getting back

Can someone give me a summary since since noon time and why is the NAACP upset with Roberts ??

[Earthdweller]

"Durbin wants to drag this out until 6:00 pm when Leave it to Beaver starts so that he can compare crib notes with Lumpy Rutherford"

Hehehehe .......And he can revisit his bed wetting days all at the same time.

[hoosiermama]

C-span has got the libs lined up....What happened to any semblance of balanced reporting.

[mjwise]

"We don't know that he isn't a liberal activist judge, therefore we are unhappy."

[hoosiermama]

why is the NAACP upset with Roberts ?

He's not a black liberal.

[MEG33]

CTV is interviewing Sessions..Calls the Roberts answers a tutorial on judicial thinking.

[syriacus]

Is Sandy Banning one of the new couples that Michael Newdow has found to create standing ?

I assumed she was the mother of Newdow's child...and I could be wrong.

[Mo1]

He's not a black liberal

They are just noticing that??

[tcrlaf]

<<< Durbin is a sap and has made an ass of himself and if the people of Illinois have any self-respect they will defeat him.>>>

Cari, one of his buddies was convicted of Corruption today in a scandal with the Teacher's Pensions Fund...

Even Daley has to worry about keeping his seat at this point in Chicago. The DEM scandals keep growing every week.

Lewis speaking again!!!
