Did you see her at the SOTU? She is not looking well at all. She might refuse to retire, but I don’t know if she has much longer to make a choice about it, frankly...

I wouldn’t be too surprised if Chairman MaoBama nominates a 25- or 30-year-old unknown uber-lib so his legacy can shape our lives for the next 50+ years.

I wonder what tenured marxist will replace him.

Easy. Who is the biggest Commie/Marxist/authoritarian/statist/liberal/socialist/leftist judge out there. He is the Obama pick.

the left will read your post and say “look at the stupid birther”
what they seem to not understand or not to have heard is that even his own wife said and quote”Kenya, Baracks home country”

so if anyone asks about where he was born by the left then they should remember even his won wife thinks he is not American born. Of course I see all the media is running with that , even FOX and Hannity, Beck etc

there’s a lot of similarities with bozo and him.

great speakers though hitler didn’t use a telepromter, they both had their own swastikas flags and emblems.
Everytime I see a bozo sticker on a car I think of Hitler and his swastikas and how those who followed Hitler used it instead of their own country flag.
Both have been using kids to be brainwash into their disgusting agenda.
both had big crowds in Germany
Both had and have thugs to close down opposition.

Infact we knew more about Hitler’s past than bozo’s and as for the media, well they make me sick and that includes some at fox

He’s got to retire before Obama loses Congress in November.

The Game plan. The Senate Repubs delay the confirmation until next January when the new Senators are seated.

maybe someone should mention to bozo’s wife then about where her husband was born seeing as she thinks Kenya is his homeland too.

maybe she’s a birther hey?

my thoughts too.

He will get someone who is young for sure, I’ll say around 45 knowing that person will be on the bench for at least 30 years and to push their radical left agenda.

Course the GOP won’t fight this as they never do

I got to a point of recognition several weeks ago. Bill O'Reilly gets into this issue briefly when he says he knows the issue is just some extremist nonsense because he has seen the newspaper birth announcement.

The claimed announcement doesn't say anything about where he was born--it says exactly what it would say if the person writing it was doing so from his actual place of birth in Kenya.

Further, there is real doubt that announcement was ever published anywhere. There is now a developing factual case that would make the announcement another fake by the Obama forces.

"O'Reilly knows". He wants to pick something some distance from the real factual record so that when the truth does come out which he believes it will, it will be easier to disaffirm. He is required to do that because of FOX news policy mandating the issues here are to be avoided.

That's where everyone in the political establishment really is--it is widely known by everyone that Obama was born in Kenya and that it disqualifies him.

So I have stopped thinking about debating the issue. If it ever gets to a court in a trial, I am confident the truth will out. Otherwise, we need to keep thinking about the strategic and tactical considerations involved in developing the financial support for effective relief.

...can’t wait to see what gets put on the court to replace him.

Karl Marx is dead, so that leaves quite a field....

Yes, it would have mattered. With a Republican majority (which we will have in January) a radical will be far more difficult to get through.

However, since the law is that a President has the right to choose his or her own SC Justices, the Republicans (who, unlike the Dems, follow the law) are more generous in their confirmations than the Dems, who disregard all laws and all decency and personally attack highly qualified men such as Bork and Thomas based on purely political animus.

Nonetheless, I stand by my first comment that it would have been more difficult to get an unqualified radical past a Republican majority than it will be now.

You have more faith in the Republicans than me when it comes to this.

In my opinion Obama could nominate Bill Ares and the Republicans would only put up a token fight.

Qualifications are not required...Obama will choose someone of non-white origin, street credibility, and pro-abortion.

I think this is the guy!
