Would my Golden Retriever make a good Supreme Court justice?
He's been with me since he was 8 weeks old; he's never bitten me; and before I got married, he slept on the bed with me. Of course, he's never been a judge, but damn, is he loyal!

6. Nah, he's been trained for years.
But when he was a puppy, the "paper trail" was devastating.

2. Is he "born again"??
If not...Shrubby won't nominate him.

4. He needs to get in line behind Barney. Shrub owes him after the whole
"dropping him on his back" incident.

28. Bush threw him down because Barney nipped him
and Barney nipped him because he hates him.

7. Can you please tell us where he stands
on the issue of stuffed toy destruction?

For or against?

16. Well, when he was young and foolish ..
he acted young and foolish. No DUIs, but he chewed the shit out of a few stuffed animals. Fuck! Forget the Supreme Court. He's over-qualified to be the President!

12. My Mastiff has an upside down hart on her chest
I think the fundies will take that as some kind of sign or something.

14. I heard he's a judicial activist.
The beagle down the street says he wants to legislate from the bench.

'Course, I hear she's kind of a bitch, though...;)

15. An 8 Week Old Puppy Never Bit You?
But I get you're larger point.

Very good point at that.

B-)

18. GWB is lowering the bar across the board
starting with his own presidency. I use to think intelligence and intellectual curiousity was a prerequisite for the job of president. I used to think the director of FEMA should have prior emergency response experience. I used to think a supreme court nominee should have some experience with constitutional law.

in the corners every week!

25. I can sympathize
My step-dog is a golden who never lost his puppy undercoat. He looks twice his size, he's so fuzzy. The joke around here is that we need to collect that fur and have someone spin it into yard, and then I can knit one hell of a waterproof sweater.

27. He might be okay, but you are not pResident.
If you were pResident and could teach him how to flip a coin for a decision, he would work out better than anyone * would nominate.

30. I think so. I think he could do the job. He'd be good too because
it's been proven that dogs have a larger emotional brain than humans so maybe he could bring some empathy to the table.
