Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Republicans in disarray!

So many bastards, so little time.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Second rate reporter says what?

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

    M. Scott Eiland

    Edith Jones has been on short lists for a potential Supreme Court seat since Ronald Reagan was in his second term–and the usual suspects on the left have been preparing to unleash the slime hoses on her for the whole time. If it’s her up for Rehnquist’s seat, prepare for an attack campaign that makes the campaign against Janice Rogers-Brown look like a tea party by comparison.

    Thomas

    i remember when the “list” came out for the new homeland security guy after ridge was stepping down and the “list” had about 6 or 7 names on it and when i got to the name Kerik, I said “there he is” and i knew it would be a colossal F-up. And it was. From this list you just posted, the name Ted Olson sticks out like a sore thumb just like Kerik’s did. Wife dies on a 9/11 plane, Paula Jones, etc (don’t think Bush won’t play that to the hilt) and therefore Olson will be a F-up. Just get someone in the SC that isn’t a career F-up like Thomas has been in the SC. No lapdogs please. I just beg that any nominee isn’t a lapdog. Kinda tough to ask of this Administration.

    I don’t care for his judicial philosophy and he has some baggage but Ted Olsen is very qualified to be an Associate Justice of the SCOTUS. That being said from a judicial philosophy I hope it isn’t Olsen. Whoever Bush nominates that person will be very conservative.

    The nominee will be female and/or a minority.

    The only way it will be a white male is if it’s repayment for past favors or prepayment for future favors, i.e. Bolton and Kerik.
