Lawrence Tribe is kind of long in the tooth. I’d be surprised if Obama chose him, if only for that reason.

“Colin Powell and his crazy wife Alma, are RADICALLY PRO-CHOICE, it seems......”

The choice of Alma and Colin Powell is death for the unborn.

The military lost countless good officers during the bubba regime.

Once again the good men and women will leave rather than be subjected to O’s open disdain for our heroes.

Colin Powell got to the top because of affirmative action and the Republicans in power.......

Gee. I wonder if Colin Powell knows that according to Dr.
Alveda C. King, her uncle, the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican!

General Colin Powell is a former Secretary of State for whom I have great respect.

I don't have any respect for that man. He fights in Vietnam ,and all during the cold war against an ideology.Now he supports for President a man who espouses that very same ideology. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I already had no respect for Worthless Powell. Now it is well below no respect.

“Colin Powell and his crazy wife Alma, are RADICALLY PRO-CHOICE, it seems......SICK.”

Yes, it is sick. The cult of baby-killing apparently cannot abide even decent judges who would let the states decide on the matter of regulations to protect unborn human life.

Here is what Obama and the Democrats have in store:

Regulation overdrive that will kill jobs
Special interest giveaways to groups like ACORN
Government takeover of health-care, shifting as many a 50 million more people into a Government run plan (See below, Obama ultimately wants single payer aka 100% Socialized medicine!)
pork barrel-overspending, like the $200 billion farm bill the Pelosi Congress passed, and the $1+ TRILLION in bailouts this year; Pelosi wants another bailout for $300 billion, on top of the $700 billion for wall street, $300 billion housing bailout and $100 billion govt check giveaway - when will it end?
Pro-abortion extremism, including taxpayer funded abortions and ‘Freedom of Choice’ Act, which will override state desires to protect unborn life
Amnesty for illegal aliens, and drivers licenses for illegal aliens, which Obama supports
No drilling in ANWR or offshore, and an anti-energy policy that won’t allow full exploration offshore; it means higher energy prices
Trade policies that are the worst since Herbert Hoover (who created a depression out of similar policies)
Higher taxes that will kill jobs; Obama in the past year proposed higher payroll taxes, higher income taxes, and raising the capital gains taxes from 15% to 25%. Now in the general election, Obama has flipflopped on it, but he will surely flipflop back in order to make taxpayers pay for his $800 billion in spending promises that he can’t keep without higher taxes.
Job-killing ‘cap-and-trade’ CO2 regulations
Attacks on free speech, with “fairness doctrine” attacks on talk radio, and political correctness attacks on free speech( Missouri DAs investigating people who say bad things about Obama)
Attacks on the ballot box, by ending the secret ballot for union elections, and by opposing voter ID laws
Gay marriage: Obama opposes Cali prop 8, in effect signalling that he supports gay marriage, andObama and the Democrat platform calls for the repeal of DOMA to take gay marriage nationwide; they will enforce ENDA, gay rights in the workplace and a tort lawyers dream and HR dept nightmare, and the result will be attacks on religious organizations and groups that dare to take an opposing moral position; gays openly in the military
Appointment of liberal activist Judges, who will be handpicked to overrule the people and legislate liberal social policy from the bench.

... so which of these does RINO Powell want? ALL OF THEM?!?!

I don’t think so. It will be extreme liberals - women and blacks so it’s harder to discredit them.

Powell wants only far left judges appointed I guess. Does he think 0bama will appoint moderates? That’s a laugh. He will only appoint judges who are pro abortion, crime coddlers, and of course pro quota.

If we are lucky the balance on the Supreme Court might not change that much in 4 years. Stevens is pushing 90. Ginsburg has had cancer and I know she nods off at hearings. If the 2 of them should go and be replaced by other far left liberals it is the status quo. We have to pray that Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia remain in good health. I think the latter is 72 though. Not that young. Kennedy also is in his early 70s. I guess we are better off with him than someone who is sure to vote the wrong way every time.

Just maybe if 0bama is defeated in 4 years, then his successor could be the one replacing the wretched Justice Souter, or Kennedy, Breyer and some of the others.

No, we pretty much have a good idea of who he will appoint. That’s the problem.

There’s a small selection of Clinton Court of Appeals female judges born after 1950.

“Colin Powell and his crazy wife Alma, are RADICALLY PRO-CHOICE, it seems......SICK.”

That’s why Powell doesn’t want McCain to win and pick originalist judges. Powell does not want Roe overturned.

That’s the only good thing going for us on SCOTUS, that the conservatives are younger than the old fossil liberals. I do think Stevens, and Ginsburg retire in the next 4 years and a new cycle of liberals is in there.

It’s still a very bad thing - the Democrats have slowwalked so many judicial nominees it is practically a crisis in the lower courts. Democrat congress + Obama + polite/minority GOP = lots of liberal judges in the Federal courts.

And if that is what Powell thinks is a good thing about Obama, then he’s either clueless or a liberal or both.
