Ok, you asked for it!
Source: E.W. Bullinger, D.D. "Number in Scripture", Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49501, 1984.
(1) "As a cardinal number it denotes unity: as an ordinal it denotes primacy...So with the deity. The great First Cause is Independent of all...
The First Commandment and great commandment...(p.50)
(2) "But Two affirms that there is a difference- there is another; while One affirms that there is not another! This difference may be for good or for evil. A thing may differ from evil and be good; or it may differ from good and be evil. Hence, the number Two takes a two-fold colouring, accourding to the context. (p91).
...
(10) It has been already pointed out that ten is one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the prefection of Divine order, commencing, as it does, an altogether new series of numbers. The first decade is the reprsentatvie of the whole numeral system, and originates the system of calculation called "decimals," because the whole system of numeration consists of so many tens, of which the first is a type of the whole."....
Noah completed the antediluvian age in the 10th generation from God.
The Ten Commandments contain all that is necessary,and no more than is necessary, both as to their number and their order, while the Lord's Prayer is completed in 10 clauses.
(p. 243)
This is but a sample of the mystery of numbers not taught in schools but known and studied by the founding fathers.
GWB's choice doesn't stun or disappoint this conservative.
"GWB's choice doesn't stun or disappoint this conservative."
It stuns and disappoints this one.
And bunches more. I needn't name the big names.
So, we're seeing a civil war open up here.
And the Democrats will be the winners.
We could avoid it.
One side needs to back down.
Roger that ~ the East Coast Ivy League School elitists would be good start!
But neither side will back down.
So we are going to destroy our party in the process, and hand victory to the enemy.
"big names?
hahahahahahahahaha!"
You're right, actually. Commentators and lobbyists are not big names.
There are just millions of us little insignificant names.
Cleary we are a joke and don't matter.
"hahahahahaha"
And we'll try not to let the door hit us on the backside on our way out.
Ask the elitist snobs!
The President gets to choose and he chose her!
That works for me!
Yes, that door does swing both ways. And it's swinging.
The GOP may pick up moderates and liberals to replace the losses in its conservative base if this fiasco continues to play out like it looks like it will.
Women live longer than men, so realistically she's only 52 or 53.
2. She has zero judicial experience. Sure it can be a plus, but she has been a corporate litigator which to me does not signify that she has had the opportunity to review or educate herself on Con Law issues.
Judicial experience isn't a prerequisite for a SCOTUS appointment.
3. There are literally scores of more qualified candidates with a proven reliable record.
There will be one or two more SCOTUS departures before Bush's term expires. You obviously have never played poker.
4. This pick makes GWB look weaker than he already is. It makes him look like he is afraid of a fight.
This pick cements Bush's legend as a risk-taker and will make him stronger as another SCOTUS departure becomes inevitable.
5. She was Reid's first pick. Enough said.
Reid was spinning to discourage conservatives - he is now having doubts about her and will be against her as soon as he receives the talking points from the left-wing orgs. Bush has called his bluff and Reid got hosed.
6. She has no record of ever being a conservative. Yes, she has.
Has she ever been part of the Federalist Society? Written law review articles? Volunteered or worked for conservative causes or candidates other than GWB?
Irrelevant to being appointed to the SCOTUS. (Ann Coulter, is that you?)
7. Trust me is not good enough in this case.
You don't trust Bush? How many times have Bush told people he is a man of his word? He knows Meiers, you don't. Big difference.
