Smart Move by Bush

Dr_Spin

From what has been written about John Roberts, Bush has acted wisely and astutely in nominating him to the position of Chief Justice following the death of Justice Rehnquist.

I'll take a wait and see attitude on this guy Roberts. Supreme Court Justices sometimes go off the rails once they get the job.

If he stays pro strict interpretation Constitution then I am with you.

The next question is who the other nominee will be.

Stan

Maybe a stupid question but, can there be more than two nominees or?

MCSF

No, when a President makes his nomination it goes through a confirmation process in the Senate. It gets, or should get, an up or down vote after a period of investigation and questioning by the Senate judiciary. If the candidate passes he has the job for life - if not th eprocess starts all over again with a new candidate.

bernie

whos' next then?

MCSF

Is Bork too old?

Ann Coulter maybe?

bernie

A railroad spike throught the neck?

Your intolerance for her diversity is alarming. Aren't you supposed to be part of the "tolerant" part of society? Shouldn't you be understanding of a womans point if view in the current society. tsk tsk tsk I think you are a misogynist?

forzaminardi

HOLIDAY TRIP BUSH:

Lease

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were
killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching

as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

I see no need to 'tolerate' ignorant harpies. Especially ones who have their picture taken at the graves of drunkard hate mongers while looking reverantly towards the headstone.

Now you can think that I only 'tolerate' those who agree with me, wrong again Charlie Brown. Ann Coulter just doesn't bring anything to the table. She's like a bile spewing 'Chatty Cathy' doll, pull the string, 'Communist!'' Liberal!''Traitor!' blah blah blah.

bernie

dst... I think i was pretty specific what Ann needs.

Lease, that gave me QUITE a chuckle :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

And yet another brilliant idea:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16397937%26method=full%26siteid=94762%26headline=exclusive%2d%2dbush%2dplot%2dto%2dbomb%2dhis%2darab%2dally-name_page.html

bernie

how reliable is The Mirror?

Are they the guys with the great page 3?

dst

how reliable is The Mirror?

The same question could be posed about the Administration.

Who knows about the context, but I haven't exactly heard any denials. Have you? Just a lot of non-denial denials. Like 'This story is outlandish.' No shit, but did it happen.

MCSF

Its funny - had we fought WWII like we are fighting this war we would all be speaking German or been made into lampshades.

If memory serves me didn't we bomb the hell out of German propaganda HQ's and go after Tokyo Rose?

Biker

You would have made a fine German soldier....

MCSF

Danke

so this is the famous DOWNING STREET MEMO I mention in another thread?

Fury over gagging threat 'to spare Bush's blushes'
By Rosemary Bennett, Deputy Political Editor



::nobreak::THE Attorney-General was accused last night of using the Official Secrets Act “big stick” to gag newspapers in an attempt to save President Bush from further embarrassment over Iraq.
Lord Goldsmith threatened newspapers on Tuesday with prosecution under the Act if they published details from a record of a conversation between Mr Bush and Tony Blair from April last year, when the President is alleged to have suggested bombing al-Jazeera, the Arabic television network.



A record of the conversation was leaked by a Cabinet Office official to the researcher of an MP, and details appeared in a newspaper this week. Both men have been charged under the Official Secrets Act and will appear in court next week.

Mr Blair’s Government has never threatened newspapers with prosecution under the Act, lawyers say. This is despite numerous leaks of documents relating to the war in Iraq, including the Attorney-General’s own legal advice on the war.

That led to accusations from MPs yesterday that the Act was being used to avoid further embarrassment to Mr Bush over Iraq rather than to protect Britain’s security.

“In my view I can see no other explanation for this than an overwhelming desire to placate President Bush and prevent him being embarrassed,” Peter Kilfoyle, the Labour MP for Liverpool Walton, said. He has tabled a motion calling on the Government to publish the record of the conversation.

The Liberal Democrats said that the Government was wholly inconsistent.

“The immediate question is why the Attorney-General should think it necessary to use the big stick on this occasion,” Sir Menzies Campbell, the Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, said. “The suspicion is that this is not so much in the national interest but more in preserving the Government from further embarrassment.”

Whitehall sources last night denied that the White House had put the Government under pressure to act. Sources who have seen the documents say that it is clear the discussion on bombing al-Jazeera is not serious.
