The Federalist Society deserves to be prosecuted under federal anti-trust and racketeering.

Unfortunately, it’s just one more reason to secede. If there is some effort to subvert our constitution for the benefit of a fanatic few, and it has been WORKING so far, democracy is doomed. Ever heard of ecotopia? Time to get it going if this government is so far down the loony trail, we HAVE no representative government. Our own ELECTED government has turned into only one more way for war corporations to make money for their shareholders.

If you’re not a wealthy donor, get ready to be ripped off royal by the Bush Monarchy in every way. At least we thought Justice had chance, that The Law meant something good.

It still does, it’s up to us. Secede or Impeach, save our constitution!

Jake-off. The ACLU promotes democracy while the Federalist Society tries to restrict its influence upon our society.

Jake seems to forget or more likely just does not know that Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) is the one that suggested Ginsburg to Bill Clinton. Clinton, facing a republiCON controlled Senate didn’t feel like fighting tooth and nail for a liberal jurist. Besides anyone with any objective knowledge of politics knows that Clinton was a centrist in the mold of Nixon and Eisenhower and Ginsburg, also a centrist, was a good enough philosophical fit for Clinton. For his part, Hatch didn’t want to face any true liberal nominee. This was a case of a good bipartisan solution, the way government is supposed to work. So Jake, you really should blame your fellow republiCONs for the Ginsburg ACLU litmus test.

American Center for Law and Justice is a d/b/a for Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism, Inc., a tax-exempt, not-for-profit, religious corporation as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, specifically dedicated to the ideal that religious freedom and freedom of speech are inalienable, God-given rights. The Center’s purpose is to educate, promulgate, conciliate, and where necessary, litigate, to ensure that those rights are protected under the law. The organization has participated in numerous cases before the Supreme Court, Federal Court of Appeals, Federal District Courts, and various state courts regarding freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

“For the record, you were already caught posting a FAKE bio.”

Which bio did he use this time? At WashingtonMonthly, he claimed he was a lawyer, specializing in real estate issues, if I recall, although my memory is a bit fuzzy on this.

As for what he’s doing here, it’s precisely what he did at WashingtonMonthly — derailing the threads and making them about him instead of about the topic at hand. I have no idea whether he’s paid or not. Some trolls get a lot of satisfaction from derailing threads and from having people pay attention to them.

Sadly, like most trolls, he quite often succeeds. Of course his comments about the Washington Monthly and the ACLU are idiotic and neither is even remotely in danger of losing their status. Dear little Chuckles, being the clown that he is, knows this quite well, but also knows that if he can keep on making idiotic claims like this, the thread quickly degenerates and the original subject of the thread is lost.

In this case, it probably doesn’t hurt much, since this thread is on a topic that is not exactly a surprise, nor is it likely that the behavior in the selection process is illegal or even unethical. It’s just one more confirmation about the type of people that the Bush administration is hiring.

Jake, no one’s buying it.

Your credibility is bankrupt here.

Do yourself a favor and change your nick…that’ll give you about three days or so before your posting style gives you away.

For the record, there are few people of your supposed age that can still type that speed for durations of time because of joint issues.

For the record, your language, dialect, grammar and attitudes are GenY, not that of a 72 year old.

For the record, you were already caught posting a FAKE bio.

For the record, everyone here knows you’re a feckless liar, but if you want to delude yourself into believing your ‘fake-personna’ is working, help yourself. You’ve spent your entire ‘real’ life in delusion, we’re sure, so why should it be any different for you here? High is just the same as junior high for you. You’re still the loser outcast idiot.

Tell me Jake, is that the same ACLU foundation that litigated for Rush Limbaugh?

Wow, they sound like dangerous partisans!

You’re an idiot, little boy. Grow up.

By: ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus

ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:36:39 +0000

Technically, the ACLU Foundation, which is their 501(c)(3) arm.
Comment by Jake â€” April 13, 2007 @ 3:32 pm

So your previous claim about the ACLU you know admit was a lie?

You’re such a loser Jake.

By: ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus

ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:35:43 +0000

I didnâ€™t forget (even a broken clock is right twice a day), and I meant the American Civil Liberties Union. If the Federalist Societyâ€™s 501(c)(3) tax exempt status is going to be revoked, then so should the ACLU and Washington Monthlyâ€™s. Comment by Jake â€” April 13, 2007 @ 3:29 pm

Last time I checked, the ACLU protected people of both political spectrums, including Limbaugh. The Federalist Fascists however, are 100% partisan.

Sorry Jake, your *argument*, doesn’t hold up.

As for your fear of *blogs*, now that’s really funny, little loser putz boy.
