3. Supreme Court justices can't be canned

They serve for life.

That's why this election is so important - the next president will probably appoint at least three Supreme Court justices. They'll be around for decades.

6. SC Justices can be impeached, though, can't they?

Fat Tony should be impeached because of Bush v. Gore and duck huntin' with CHeney, not because of some silly remark.

5. This comment...

He is the conservative bastion of the US supreme court, a favourite of President Bush, and a hunting partner of the vice-president. He has argued vociferously against abortion rights, and in favour of anti-sodomy laws.

But it turns out that there is another side to Justice Antonin Scalia: he thinks Americans ought to be having more orgies.

Challenged about his views on sexual morality, Justice Scalia surprised his audience at Harvard University, telling them: "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

It seems unlikely that this is what President Bush meant when he promised to appoint more judges like Scalia to the court, should the opportunity arise. Crucially, Justice Scalia is one of the judges in favour of overturning Roe v Wade, the landmark judgment protecting abortion as a constitutional right.

7. So they're already pushing Arnold for 08?

Scalia needs to go. Hopefully the Kerry Administration investigates the conflict of interests Scalia had when making judgements on Cheney's and get him removed.
