Poetic Justice Al Gore. Ironic Justice Al Gore.

[lostnfound]

Just kidding. I love Al but I assume his background isn't quite right for it. Still, wouldn't it be poetic AND ironic to have the fellow who was directly robbed by the Bush v Gore decision actually sit on the court which produced that shameful decision?

Sweeter still would be to wait for a day when it actually flipped the balance of the court..

1. Ooh - that would be great!

[lostnfound]

2. I was half-kidding but on second thought, who better to rule on such issues as

subjects such as the basic human right to a liveable environment, placing boundaries on corporate personhood, and (gulp!) voting rights? All of which SHOULD be hot legal issues right now, whether or not they actually are.

If our founding fathers were crafting a new declaration, they would be saying 'certain inalienable rights: life, liberty, clean air, clean water, access to natural lands, and the pursuit of happiness'. They may well have taken access to these things for granted, for surely no one could destroy forests and whole mountains or pollute entire rivers.

3. Pourquoi pas?

I like it.

4. A kick so others can indulge in a cheerful daydream..

[DireStrike]

5. Hah that would be awesome.

Kick for the fantasy.

6. Too old unfortunately.

If for no other reason.

No reason the nominee should be any older than John Roberts.

7. Well, the idea of Al Gore sitting next to John Roberts is the epitome of justice

Just as I posted in another thread, Roberts went to Florida during the Election 2000 controversy and advised the Republicans on Constitutional maneuvers. He donated his time on a pro bono basis and is today receiving his just rewards. So, yes, Al Gore who did attend law school for two years, and who absolutely knows the importance of adhering to the Constitution and consequences for not doing so, would be the poetic justice ideal.

Would he do it? I don't think so. Why would he come back to Washington and the scene of the crime when the life he has built for himself and Tipper now is so much more rewarding?

8. Nah. No time as he's out peddling his climate change dvds

Yep. Made many millions last year.

[Ptah]

9. And poof!

[RandomKoolzip]

11. So should he be sitting barefoot in an ashram somewhere? He can't make a living?

I thought you conservatives believed in free enterprise. Sheesh!

It's damned if you do and damned if you don't with you fuckers.

10. I LOVE IT!
