It's so weird to see Republicans aghast at Obama tweaking the Supreme Court...

[Bicoastal]

...even though for years they've lambasted "activist judges" and showed absolutely no respect for the Supremes they disagreed with. (Mention the name "Ginsburg" in front of a bunch of conservative men and watch them go to town with sexist jokes and barely concealed rage.)

So they're hypocrites. But what else is new...

[scheming daemons]

1. Especially since they've spent the past 37 years bashing the court over Roe v Wade

[Orrex]

9. Some Right-wing toad on CNN made a comment...

Saying, in effect, that Obama's logic applies equally to Roe v. Wade, in that last week's decision overturned 100 years of legislation and precedent. The Repub Toad suggested that no one would dare criticize Roe on such grounds.

At which James Carville scoffed, noting that every Republican President since 1973 has attacked Roe.

15. It's been longer than that. At least since Brown vs. Board of Education and...

the school prayer and Bible reading decisions.

2. I hope someone puts up a clip because I'm watching the CSPAN

tape and think I missed the whole deal.

Republican Does It. Much clearer, eh?

I guess YHTBT.

4. He did kinda break one of the last taboos of presidential rhetoric

Read Jeff Tulis' book The Rhetorical Presidency for background.

That being said those 5 bozos had it coming to them.

[DarthDem]

11. The Only Sad Thing

Was that only three of the five bozos, as you aptly put it, were there. Scalia and his running buddy, Clarence, were absent (as was Stevens).

14. Run, Forest, run!

Just keep going...

[deacon]

5. The can never use the phrase 'activists judges' again. They put in radicals. n/t

[Zen Democrat]

7. I remember when the conservatives wanted to "Impeach Earl Warren" n/t

[lonestarnot]

16. fooking creepy.

[TexasObserver]

17. Ginsburg is my favorite on this court!

I dig her voting.

[Mithreal]

18. It is particularly damning of them. Might not so easily avoid this hypocrisy.

Let's see to it.

[AnnieBW]

19. These are the same ones praying for the death of Stevens

And threw a hissy at Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment. :eyes:
