When George W. Bush was the governor of Texas, the state investigated, indicted, convicted and sentenced to prison for 10 years a county sheriff who, with his deputies, had waterboarded a criminal suspect. That sheriff got no pardon from Gov. Bush.

SC Justice is another matter. I don’t know anything about what he would bring to the Court as a jurist, but I do know two things: the Court is dangerously weighted to the Right, with four unwavering and relatively youthful hard right-wingers, and Obama cannot afford — the nation cannot afford — a stealth candidate with conservative cred. And two, Obama has little or no reason to cater to conservatives, with a nearly veto-proof majority in the Senate and a lot of political capital.

Besides family, a few old friends, and maybe “big water” I miss NOTHING about Detroit. Near the top of the list was the daily traffic war.

Kinda agree. I have many Amish families near me. They get by just fine.

Never been into cars much except for an old 70 mustang (302 boss) I used to have.

Antique farm tractors rule my hobby world. I believe the Allis Chalmers Co. was the greatest American company that ever existed.

FYI- Their engineers built a hydrogen fuel cell tractor completed in 1959.

She is a nobody.

Worse, she is the daughter of an evil fascist.

Cars have made us a nomadic commuter society. Most people do not buy a home to dwell in for their entire lives, but actually buy a house and PLAN on selling it to move to another, etc. Probably part of the psychological problems society shares. (And I would tie-in to that the advantages that such a society offers big corporations….)

Elvis and Hendrix? I’m so there! How many space-bucks for a ticket?

Ignoriong the rest of the innanities, “manna” is bug-poo, NOT mushrooms.

God, you’re an idjut.

That’s cool, but maybe we share some common ground there as well. I’m actually a bit of a car “nut”, my 1974 BMW 2002tii being the funnest car I’ve owned, and selling my late fathers 1955 Mercedes 190SL Roadster my greatest regret. The 1936 Ford he and his brother raced in the Great American Race was another incredible car he owned. American cars really aren’t any better or worse than the foreign counterparts (especially now, since most “foriegn” ones are built in American factories – was this what we were discussing on previous thread?)

Years in a Honda Odyssey have me yearning for a late 60’s American “muscle” car, which, I can’t really afford.

I’m just thankful I no longer participate in the daily grind of commuting during rush-hour (too many angry, dangerous drivers during those hours, always made me depressed.)

Riiiightttt; the way the US doesn’t torture, then does torture only because it works, and can prove it by declassifying documents they had classified in order to conclusively show that criminal behavior is not defined as breaking the law, because the White House gives it two thumbs up, so it must be legal.

Is that the way the ‘real’ world works? Or is it simply the way the GOP would have the rest of the world believe that’s how they should operate?

Linking Cheney to the ‘real’ world only proves how deluded you Bushbot apologists are; BushCo has NEVER accepted reality and never will.

If we were right-wingers, we would be responding to Ms. Cheney’s efforts to defend her father with a massive, well-funded and highly-coordinated campaign of personal attacks and scrofulous rumors about Ms. Cheney, her family, her friends, and her pets. That’s the winger way.

Obama listened to Cheney; right before Elvis and Hendrix disembarked from the alien Mothership and did ‘Rockahula Baby’from Blue Hawaii.

Good to know rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from that demonic tree.

The meeting came one day after the White House publicly expressed irritation at some lobbying—apparently that of gay, Latino and women’s activists publicly calling for a nominee from one or more of those groups. ““I don’t think that the lobbying of interest groups will help,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Tuesday. “I think in many ways lobbying can – and will –be counterproductive.”

“He was deputy attorney general serving in Bush’s administration. He came in with the Bushies. What makes you think he’d be just an inch or two more to the center than [Chief Justice] Roberts?” Brittain asked. “I’d be greatly disappointed.”

Although I was encouraged by Comey’s acts as #2 at Justice, the skillset needed to be a Supreme Court judge is greatly different, and anyone who still considers himself a republican after 8 years of Bush is an automatic disqualification for someone to replace Souter.

what is that jewel? or allis morriset?…..

The lyrics in # 235 are from the song “One Of Us” by JOAN OSBORNE, from the CD “Relish”.
Pun aside, it’s great stuff.

You’re welcome. And I can hardly blame you for not wanting to know much about this awful family.
