Hey Sid,
I can go along with you on Reagan, but Ford was damaged goods from the start. Yes he vetoed spending but was only selected so he could pardon Nixon. After that we got Carter "I only lusted in my heart" - yea that's right up there with "I didn't inhale" - who IMHO was the worst we have had until The Carmel One, but I have faith he will yet make Jimmy look good in compairson!
How did this [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue] get to be a Federal Judge.

The Clarin had a great comic today, maybe it's a little too late to post but there are still a few hours in the day.
For those of you who didn't see it, it's pretty basic, as there is no dialog. Just the daily piece by Crist, entitled, Guantanamo.
It shows Obama at a podium, his shadow, what looks like a cowboy, would be, right, G W Bush.
All this brings to mind a very old song (depending on your age) by The Who.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution.
Take a bow for the new revolution.
Smile and grin at the change all around me.
Pick up my guitar and play.
Just like yesterday.
Then I'll get on my knees and pray.
We don't get fooled again.
Don't get fooled again.
No, no!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss
[QUOTE=Sidney]1. Ronald Reagan.[/QUOTE]Reagan?
How could Reagan have been a great president?
Everybody knows that one must have a law degrees and a high IQ to be a great president.
And while I'm at it, don't give me any of that BS about experience either. Everybody knows that education is much more important than experience.
Thanks,
Jackson
How about having both?[QUOTE=Jackson]Everybody knows that education is much more important than experience.[/QUOTE]Regards,

[QUOTE=Jackson]I told you guys, Exon is a closet Conservative who hates [I]Republicans[/i] only because of some alleged incident in his past wherein he believes he was somehow dissed by what he believes was a Republican judge.
That's it, plain and simple.
If you ever talk to Exon about politics, it takes only a few minutes to realize that he doesn't actually subscribe to any of the underlying tenets espoused by the Democrats (like tripling the national dept) it's only his hatred of said allegedly Republican judge that compels him to proclaim himself as a Democrat.
Thanks,
Jackson.
BTW: Exon doesn't have a clue as to the specifics of who President Bush appointed to federal judgeships, he just knows that he hates them all because he just "knows" that they were all Republicans.[/QUOTE][url]http://abovethelaw.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=12&search=kent&searchsubmit.x=0&searchsubmit.y=0&searchsubmit=submit[/url]

A Republican Bush 41 appointee.
But in Jackson's defense, we were talking once and he came up with the profound statement, "Depending if your guilty or not, depends entirely apon those judgeing You"

They got into the Dept of Justice and useing their own people changed things for their own conserative agenda and we as citizens have had to live with it.
Read item 5 Restoring Confidence in the Department of Justice.

Exon,
You are always complaining about the Republician federal judges, but don't you remember when the Supreme Court (the last word on if it is legal) was liberal. Do you really wish to return to the days when Earl Warren was chief justice?

In fact the particular Judge I'm most imterested is a Democrat yet thr Republicans are much better in putting Exons in office.
Berger v. United States.
295 U. S. 78 (1935)
Quote.
"The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor-- indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one."
Exon know's and not from google as our leader has proported.

Exon,
Is anybody not a "cocksucker" in your humble opinion? Hey big guy, I don't think even you were alive in 1935, that's a reach!
The period from which you have chosen this quote is so far removed from what the US is today as to be almost another country. Lighten up big guy.
Doppelganger,
I mean no offence when I say this, but trust me, you don't have a "Fucking Clue"
The one thing thats remained constent since before they built the pyrmids is human nature. What we're watching now is the news media unwinding the Bush adminstration. It couldn't have been done while Bush was in power because they would have retaliated like Richard Nixon did useing the FBI, the IRS & the Justice Dept to do so.
What held true in 1935 still holds true today, since basic human nature hasn't changed. Bush's people and the Christian Right Winger's, (Conservative States, that got em elected) tried to change our Democracy. To do so they've put there own people in power, people that think like they do.
Here's a good example [url]http://www.mormonlawyers.com/2009/04/should-judge-jay-bybee-take-blame-for.html[/url]
Jay Bybee helped write the legal opinions that allowed Bush to tell the American people "We Don't Torture Prisoners". Then as a reward for his loyalty they make him a Federal Judge appointed for life. You can't have Democracy unless you fairness and Justice.
Thats what I'm driving at when I quote a Supreme Court Justice's opinion thats 70 years old. The conscept still holds true today. Some people in the Bush adminstration are criminals and should be prosecuted.

Exon,
I take no offense that you believe I have no clue. I hope you take no offense I believe your point of view to be myopic and predicated on a false belief that "Republicans" are bad and "Democrats" are good. While I believe there are both good and bad in both parties with the "good" being those of the centralist wing of both parties and the "bad" being those on the extremes of both parties, they are all greedy and only seem interested in insuring their own reelection. Those few with the "peoples" interest at heart are no longer in the majority and are soon corrupted by the system. If there was ever a better argument for term limits for the House and Senate this is the time and their past follies the reason.
The Democrats have been buying votes for years with every welfare program that came down the pike. To say I was profoundly disappointed the Republicans took this same path after coming back to power in 1994 would be a gross understatement. Both parties are paying the price for their folly over the last several years, or should I say we are paying for their folly. As for the Warren court, it was a blight upon the land and a judicial malignancy we still suffer from today.

Exon[/QUOTE]You're the one that doesn't have a f_____clue, and I mean to offend you. You think LBJ was any better than Nixon when it comes to morality and promoting his own agenda? Clinton was any better than Bush? I don't have much respect for most politicians. I do know there are some Democrats that want to take every cent I've got. And there are some Republicans, libertarian-thinkers, who actually have good sense and believe in protecting the rights of individuals. Give the people you support complete power and in 50 years the U. S. just might look like Argentina.
