Chadman said:Ok, Dr. Freeze, let's play a game here. You walk up to your voting booth this November and have two choices on your ballot for a judge position. One is listed as Republican, one as a Democrat. You know nothing about their rulings, or thought processes. Who do you vote for? Right, the Republican. And yet you sit here and criticize anyone else who would not do that very thing as being "partisan, divisive, socialist, anti-capitalists." You with your attitude of name-calling dismissiveness is not exactly what you criticize those senators for? They are standing up for what they believe in, and they are partisan and divisive? Sure, much of the motivation for what they are doing is political, but not all of it. They generally think that an unbalanced Supreme Court would be a bad thing, and I would hope anyone with any REAL objectivity would agree with that.
Of course, you would prefer that there would be ALL conservative judges. And the rest of us be damned. How would you feel if it was tilted the other way, either slightly or completely? I think we all know the answer to that question.
There has to be a balance in politics and ESPECIALLY in the interpretations of the law and the Constitution. To suggest otherwise is socialistic and dictatorial, and certainly follows the ideaology of this administration. You fit right in.

dr. freeze said:Why do you leftists always play these hypothetical "games" and not deal with reality?
We are talking about the process to put forth a nominee....besides even in your little mystical land, nowhere did i hear anyone say they were not voting for him because he was a "Republican"...rather it was some other hypocritical excuse
Yes, i prefer all judges be conservative, interpreting the Constitution as it was written, and not throw it out and use foreign laws to be our law and give away property and our rights to the government....and I love the line from leftists that "it should not be on one side or another, as that would be bad for the country" :mj07: :mj07:
No, when FDR railroaded the court (read your history books if you dont know how he did it) that led EXACTLY to what it had been until Reagan and Bush finally put some conservatives on the bench to help Rhenquist and his 8-1 minority. You leftists certainly aren't and didn't cry about that!!! And it had been that way for 50 YEARS with one horrible ruling after another with absoluetly ZERO basis in many rulings in the Constitution.
Balance my moon1
Just even less credible coming from guys like Vladimir Kennedy and co. who loved it when they had the court bought and paid for
