We covered all this in 2007/2008/2009/2010, if someone wants to dig up our years of research and posts on his judicial activism they can, but I don’t feel the need or the desire to have to start over listing, explaining and then sourcing for the umpteenth time, Romney’s history of liberalism.
A simple reminder to jog one’s memory should suffice, especially for someone who has been here 11 years.
Also, Bork endorsed Romney in 2007, don’t look for him to save us from Romney.
I gather that you do not know the answer to my question. (I don’t either)
I’m not gonna go back and look either, too focused on other candidates. But you seem so sure that Romney deserves PARTICULAR censure for his state judge picks. Someone saying that really should have the ability to summarize why, e.g., “Yes, Mass. governors have plenary power to pick judges, so he deserves the blame.”
“I can’t speak to Romney’s state-level judicial picks. I do know that, in some states, the governor has little power, effectively being forced to select one name from a (typically leftist-dominated) panel’s “list of three.” “
I don’t know how the judicial apppointments are conducted in Massachusetts, either. Perhaps a Massachusetts native would be better-informed.
Jerk-off, I gave you my answer, you romneybots can do a little searching of your own, we anti-Romney people have been at this for years and don’t need to keep dealing with your same arguments year after year.
Are you telling us that with your 2000 sign up date you missed out on the 2008 election cycle and the years before it and following it, and that now you need someone to hold your hand and walk you through Romney’s record as Governor?
Jerk-off, in other words, you don't know squat to back up your quacking. Like a leftist, you quack first, then when asked for information, you sputter, "Oh, um, You're just too lazy to look it up!"
I politely asked you to put it into your own words, and obviously you can't even remember. Make it up first, then resort to insults when called on. Widdle baby.
Anyway, the answer, sort of, is here. It says that governors pick judges ... with the approval of a Judicial Council. NOw there's the rub. Who picks the council? In CA it's a complete rubber stamp. How is it in MA?
Of course, I'm not asking YOU. You're a waste of time who does nothing but shout insults backed up by a vacuum in your skull.
Jerk-off. :)

While 99% of the comments here are true, they only fortify my dismay at what the USSC represents.
The founders would be very upset with how political this court is with the never ending 5-4 split decisions.
Remember, these black robed clowns are supposed to be the best judges this country has to offer and their job is NOT to interpret the US Constitution (the Federalist papers already tell us why the constitution was written the way it was) but to make sure laws written by congress comply and they have failed miserably in this task. Hell these impostors cannot even stop Presidents from writing hundreds of executive orders which have nothing to due with the Executive branch which was the ORIGINAL INTENT.
Even when a decision goes in a direction I believe is correct, if that decision is 5-4 I can only think we are just one political hack away from reversing it.
Stop and think, if the USSC cannot reach a solid consensus on the most important founding document how is the average citizen supposed to follow the laws of the land?
Oh, and, Jerk-off? Since you started with the personal attacks: I’m not telling “us” anything. I’m telling YOU. You are NOT “us.” You’re not even capable of backing up what you, alone, are saying. Stick to being ignorant for ONE person. Trust me, it’s already more than you can handle.
A romneybot desiring to start at page one again is not surprising.
I pointed out that only about 25% of Romney’s judges were Republicans and you proceeded to try to offer cover for that action.
I don’t need a source for anything, unless you are saying that 25/75% split isn’t true.
I have nothing to prove, it is you that wants to offer some sort of defense for Mitt, get on it.
Convince us that the failed, liberal Governor was really conservative in his judicial appointments.
No I don’t want either obama or oromney to appoint judges. does anyone think Mittens made great choices in Massachusetts?
You are going to have to do a lot better than that to convince us that Romney was not being liberal when he appointed only 25% Republican and 75% non Republican judges during his time as a failed liberal Governor.
Jerk-off, what’s so amazing about this exchange is how, when I asked you to explain briefly in your own words how the method of judge-picking in MA worked (so as to make Romney particularly blameworthy), you immediately resorted to namecalling.
If I were a RomneyBot, why did I back Fred! in 2008 instead of Romney, Jerk-off? Why did I back Perry (in similarly disastrous fashion) until recently in 2012? (And whom did Perry endorse?) Since you seem obsessed with my posting history, I’m sure you’ve already discovered these facts, yet you somehow think it remotely fair to call me a Romney supporter.
And then there is your pompous use of “us” when you are plainly only speaking for your own idiotic self. God, you are a sick puppy. Trust me, you are not “us” unless you are talking about those other voices in your otherwise empty head.
I’ll bet ROmney DOES deserve the blame for lib picks, but damn, you are pathetic at arguing the point. Is this how you live your life? You go around asserting broad political points, then, when asked how you know so, you stammer and throw insults, like “You’re just too lazy to look it up,” “Romney-bot!” “Jerkoff.”
You are the worst FR has to offer. I’m done with you now. You can go. (Oh, and I know you’ll reply, but I won’t be reading it. You’re — is that “you” or “us”?— not worth my time from here on out.)
“I believe that Rick Santorum would make an excellent Supreme Court Justice. It fits him much better than President.”
Mark Levin.
Legalized slaughter of the unborn will not last forever, legalisms notwithtstanding.
LOL, not much explaining of your defense for Romney choosing non-Republican judges there, but you do sound angry, by the way, I have no idea what your posting history is other than on this thread, so there is no need for you to try and get deeply personal about obsessions or whatever you are getting into.
I don’t know when you became a romneybot, but that is the role you are showing us on this thread.
Pointing out that Romney appointed only 25% Republican judges is pretty specific and focused, you started out trying to protect Romney on that practice, and you tried to get me to go get the research for your Romney defense, I declined.
You will have to dig up your own sources to support your attempts at Romney’s defense, we are waiting for you to justify his actions to us.
If you aren’t going to follow up with your evidence, then quit beating it to death.
Romney sucks, is a liberal, failed as a Governor, and his judge appointees were only 25% Republican.
>> I never knew there was a “less virulent” form of [pancreatic cancer]. <<
Yes, there are two main types. Jobs and Ginsburg had the less agressive sort, which constitutes less than 5% of all cases. If you have it, your chances of surviving five years are anywhere from 50% to 80%. Jobs would probably be alive now if he hadn’t fallen for all that “nutritional” and “holistic” nonsense.
But the other kind of pancreatic cancer, which afflicted my cousin and one of my friends, is lethal in 95% of the cases. And it’s often VERY quick. For example, my friend died less than three weeks after initial diagnosis.
Thank you Hawthorn, you gave me information I didn’t know. The doctors led us to believe my dad’s was caught early and all was well.....
I guess doctors must feel they have to say that because I later read that that diagnosis was a deathnell.
