Yet, that's the species they (re)elect every two years. <BR/><BR/>Incumbents are returned to Congress at around a 95% rate in this country. Even in the so-called "thumpin" of 2006, all the Democratic incumbents won. And the Republicans only lost 30 House seats (which translates into a net change of only 6.8% in the chamber's overall membership). If that constitutes sweeping "change," then there's something very wrong with our definition of change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187030506553493066.post-42036375562427540802008-08-20T15:39:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:39:00.000-04:00Sorryhttp://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/jud...Sorry<BR/><BR/>http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/judicialAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187030506553493066.post-4898120948774864182008-08-20T15:36:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:36:00.000-04:00The funny thing about all that, Jamie, is Justice ...The funny thing about all that, Jamie, is Justice Thomas is one of the most blatent disregarders of the Constitution Justice there is. http://abajournal.com/news/study_labels_thomas_most_partisan_justice_scalia_most_activist/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187030506553493066.post-64023443343158759852008-08-20T12:31:00.000-04:002008-08-20T12:31:00.000-04:00As we've said before, NDT, we'll have to agree to ...As we've said before, NDT, we'll have to agree to disagree about that. While you are welcome to your viewpoint, mine differs vastly. <BR/><BR/>My view is twofold: One--that marriage is a religious function that government has usurped, and, should my church decide to marry Norman and I, then no man should have a say in such matters other than my pastor; and Two--since marriage has been usurped and made a civil function, then the sexist argument that it's "One Man, One Woman" blatently disregards the supposition that we are all created equal. But we've had this debate before, so please let's not turn this particular thread into that discussion, OK?

Slippery, indecisive, and purposefully vague politicians tend to do that. <BR/><BR/>The only real difference I can see is what type of SC Justice each would appoint, and my potential marriage is at stake. With all other things being equal--which they seem to be--that tips it in the Democrat's favor.
