		<description>This brings up flashbacks to the Scalia-Cheney love affair, too.  Let&#039;s go hunting together so we can discuss how to vote on the cases against our great leadership.  Of course there is no need to recuse.  Excuse me, but as a Supreme biggie, I need not answer to anyone.  
Don&#039;t forget direct-desposit to that account in the Canaries.
Thank you, Godfather.</description>

		<description>Regarding Comment #1

Not only did Scalia NOT recuse himself. He wrote the final opinion on Gore Vs. Bush. Read all about it in &quot;The Betrayal of a Nation&quot;--all about how the supreme court circumvented the constitution and the will of a nation, by Vincent (Helter Skelter) Bugliosi. I may be wrong here, but I believe that after Scalia wrote the majority opinion, NOT ONE of the &quot;justices&quot; signed it, (first time that has ever happened?). So, let&#039;s look back and see how the dots connect for me:

1.) 2000 stolen presidency.

2.) 9/11

3.) No investigation of 9/11 required by the Bush administration.

4.) We invade 2 SOVEREIGN nations, (WITH NO DIRECT TIES TO 9/11), so as to engage in illegal wars without end, neither country was directly involved with 9/11. 15 of the 19 highjackers involved are from Saudi Arabia, NOT invaded. The complicit media beats the war drums, while quoting verbatim, white house talking points, perpetuating the myth of the so-called liberal-media ALL THE WHILE.

5.) Widespread voter disenfranchisement, becoming more apparent in 2002 mid-terms. Voters fucked in Florida by Jeb Bush&#039;s own Katherine Harris, (mostly black/other minorities), STILL cannot vote.

6.) ANOTHER stolen presidential election in 2004, this time Ohio, thanks to bushman Kenneth Blackwell.

7.) Now the Bushies and the garbage MSM start beating the war drums for MORE war in Iran.

8.) 9/11, Abu Ghraib, Haditha, Rumsfeld, Plame-Gate, Scooter Libby, Prosecutor-Gate, George Tenet, Jessica Lynch/Pat Tillman, Medicare RX fiasco, Walter Reed, NEW ORLEANS, Mike Brown, Paul Wolfowitz, etc.

WHAT DOES BUSH HAVE TO DO TO BE IMPEACHED? Ass-rape a protected species, murder a child, etc., on prime-time television?</description>

		<description>Senator Jeffords left the Rethugnican Party because he said the Bush Administration was not committed to protecting the environment.  Jeffords disagreed over policy with the pro-business nutcase Senator Inhofe who chaired the Senate committee on the environment in 2001.

By becoming an independent and voting with the Dems, Jeffords replaced Inhofe as chairman.

Here&#039;s another thought.  If Jeffords was &quot;wrong&quot; by renouncing his Rethugnican affiliation wasn&#039;t it just as &quot;treasonous&quot; when several mostly southern Dem congressmen switched sides in 1994?  At least Jeffords became an independent.</description>

		<description>If Scalia must have been DQ&#039;d from the Bush lawsuit, then so should have Justice Blackmun from Roe v. Wade.  The author of the Roe v. Wade opinion has since gone public about his improper consulting of his feminist daughter on what the outcome should be (he wouldn&#039;t decide the end result first and work his way backward into legal justification first, would he?).  So insofar as the author suggests impropriety on the part of Justice Scalia, just remember who invented it.</description>

		<description>We are being held hostage by a mob of scum, worse than that of the â€œFamily Soprano!â€ Why wonâ€™t the Democrats grow a spine and IMPEACH?

Because half of the Senate are still members of that crime family.</description>

		<description>If Justice Scabia did not by Federal Statutes recuse himself, since his (mob son Anton Scabia Jr, benefited from the case that Dad Consigliere Anton Scabia Sr) then the Supreme Case outcome was null and void? Or the outcome may have played out differently? Since the contempt for conflicts of interest corrupt Judge Scabia should have been recused. The 2000 outcome was  void and illegal since Federal law was broken.

Impeach Justice Scalia, Bush, Cheney and Gonzales :)</description>

		<description>The obvious republicans who responded to this post are so pathetic. This article is solid evidence that those who participated in the Bush election stealers coup d&#039;etat in 2000 are still profiting from their helping to end democracy in America. That&#039;s disgusting Overthrowing the government as the Bush election stealers did in 2000 was always called treason when I was in school. This country wouldn&#039;t now be in the disaster it&#039;s in if democracy still existed in America because Bush would&#039;ve spent the last 6 years back in Texas where we the people voted for him to be. Hitler didn&#039;t believe in counting the peoples votes and neither do the Bush election stealers. It&#039;s amazing how the republicans who responded to this posting are in denial to the point that they&#039;re trying to re-write the ugly history of the Bush election stealers. That&#039;s what the former Soviet Union did to try to cover up the bad things they&#039;d done.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The voters elected a Republican. They wanted a Republican. Jeffords chose to dishonor this intention.

If he decided to have â€œmoralsâ€, why didnâ€™t he switch a few months earlier before election day to give the voters a chance to decide what they wanted?

Comment by m12 â€” May 16, 2007 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nonsense.  The voters elected Jim Jeffords, not a label.  Jim is not exactly an unknown quantity in Vermont.</description>

		<description>M12 represents the typical type of simplistic &#039;thinking&#039; so characteristic of the Bush/GOP defenders:  He suggests that Scalia was filibustered &quot;because of his name&quot;.  Perhaps you didn&#039;t mean us to take you literally, m12?  Frankly, given the conduct of InJustice Scalia, that *name* has been tarnished, however, m12 knows full well the real reason(s) Mini-me Scalia was opposed: From the link m12 provides:   ...Labor unions, allied with the Democrats, had long complained about Scalia&#039;s opposition to workplace rules dealing with ergonomics.  

Additionally from the same article that M12 provides: &quot;He (Scalia) has worked to kill or weaken worker safety standards nationally, as well as in California, North Carolina, and Washington. In his personal writings, he has criticized the science underlying ergonomics as junk science par excellence and quackery,&quot; said Sweeney.

Sweeney also said Scalia is &quot;an individual whose extreme views on key worker protections place him outside the mainstream and make him unsuited to hold this important position. Eugene Scalia is simply the wrong person for the job.&quot;

Yeah, m12, it was JUST the name the &#039;dims&#039; objected to!  It had *nothing* to do with the the man&#039;s performance record.</description>

		<description>It is bizarre to me that the Word Bank Board wants to avoid throwing out Wolfowitz for fear of the resulting confrontation with the Bush administration &quot;at a time when the United States and Europe are struggling to cooperate on Iran sanctions, trade and other economic issues.&quot; (NYT-5/17).

It&#039;s the Bushies who should fear a confrontation for just this reason, but the Bushies will sacrifice all effective governance to the egos and pride of their inner circle.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;What alternate universe do you live in? Scalia was a Reagan appointee in 1986. What, you donâ€™t know the difference between Scalia and Alito? That is forgivable, I guess. They are both right wing hacks.&lt;/i&gt;

Obviously, you&#039;re either a complete fool or you didn&#039;t know how to read. Educate yourself.

The Scalia in this case is not the Supreme Court Justice, it was his son Eugene, who the Democrats decided to filibuster due to his last name. Read about him here.
