Billo_Really said:God-dammit! That son of a bitch. Why did he have to die on Bushs' watch? This just sucks. There goes the rest of our Constitution.

AlbqOwl said:I don't want Roe v Wade overturned. I just want it to be enforced as written and for abortion to become socially unacceptable.
I think Rehnquist would agree. He voted for Roe v Wade.
If we thought there was a catfight over Judge Roberts, however, just wait until our President nominates the next Chief Justice. I can hear the muskets being loaded and cocked now.

I don't think when Roe V Wade was enacted anyone thought there would be 40,000,000 abortions in the last 33 years.......

Trajan Octavian Titus said:By; "there goes the rest of our constitution," I take it you mean now the constitution is going to be followed to the letter. You know that Roberts is a strict constructionalist right? Not like the living document folks on the left ha ha. Anywho let's try to find the silver lining . . . maybe the female constitiency will get their woman Supreme Court Justice that they were clamoring for to replace O'connor.
Amen. I feel the same way along with the sadness that accompanies the death of a great american.:hmNavy Pride said:May the Chief Justice rest in peace...........

I'm not too sure what your saying here. Could you explain.Originally posted by Trajan Octavian Titus:

As long as your happy, Skip, that's all that matters.Originally posted by SuperSkippy:
Ah just seeing you say that is making this sad news a little lighter. Bush get's a nearly unprecidented 2 Supreme Court Nominees, and with plenty of old members on the Supreme Court a 3rd is always possible, imagine in one presidential stint Bush rebuilds the entire Supreme Court

The votes will differ from one another, and the left might get one or two bills through, but that would be it. If your conservative, then your happy with this (i would assume), but, this means that, if Bush picks a conservative (which he most likely will. But, you never know), that means the end of Checks and Ballances. Without the supreme court equaly (at least with two or more leftists) represented by the nation, then conservatives, namely Bush, can do anything. That will lead to the house of representatives to have no real voice in politics. The end of Representative Democracy, as we know it. It would become a 1984 clone. Librals would be the Prolateriats, and conservatives would be the inner party members. All un-registered voters would be outer party members. Or, it could turn out that there would be an uprising after a number of years of conservative control. since half the country (voters wise) would be pissed, things would get ugly. Or, things would stay the same. high gas prices, no end to terrorism in sight, and debates on the internet talking about what is morally correct for fetuses. I have to go vomit now.:2sick1:
