Yes, it has been a long, long time since I was in High School.
But what I learned then was part fiction. Sort of.
The law I believe says something about the Justices not taking party sides on their decisions.
How many fund raisers did Scalia attend and give money to.
He should have been kicked out. As should a few others.
So, If the Republican Senate does not confirm a pick, isn't that Obstruction of Justice?

Posts: 707Cruz versus Trump
As a conversation starter, here is my theory that I have not seen published anywhere else yet.
Trump is using the birther argument against Cruz as a feint. Cruz is saying he is a constitutional lawyer and Trump does not know what he is talking about. Who is the other American president that was a constitutional lawyer? To save you the the research, it's Obama. So I would create an ad that shows soundbites of Cruz saying he has been a constitutional lawyer his whole life in the last debate juxtaposed against Obama saying he was a constitutional lawyer from the recent State of the Union speech. If it comes down between Trump and Cruz, I think this will be the closing argument. What do you want? A man who has built a great business or a man who was a lawyer most of his life? We just had eight years of the constitutional lawyer. Cruz will be more of the same. Cruz has far different ideas than Obama but the question remains, can he execute. Really it is the same argument Kasich, Christie and Bush are making. As governors, they have managed through crises.
I have no dog in this fight as I am a Democrat. However I do not think we have a winning candidate running as of now although we will get our 47% as Romney pointed out. I am hoping that if Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire, Biden jumps back in. Clinton on top of all her baggage is making mistake after mistake in her campaign. I do not think physically she up to the challenge. I think her exhaustion and fatigue are creating errors in judgement. Remember the last month in the State Department she had to take a leave of absence due to health.
A good show to watch is "In All Due Respect." Halperin and Heileman were guys that wrote "Game Change". They are focused on the strategy and tactics of the campaigns.

I don't know anything about politics but this is the funniest thing that I have read in a long time and after that MF shot everyone in Oregon I needed a good laugh.
Things that I trust more than Hillary Clinton:
* Mexican tap water.
* A rattlesnake with a pet me sign.
* OJ Simpson showing me his knife collection.
* A fart when I have diarrhea.
* An elevator ride with Ray Rice.
* Taking pills offered by Bill Cosby.
* Michael Jackson's Doctor.
* An Obama Nuclear deal with Iran.
* A Palestinian on a motorcycle.
* Gas station Sushi.
* A Jimmy Carter economic plan.
* Brian Williams news reports.
* Loch Ness monster sightings.
* Prayers for peace from Al Sharpton.
* An Obama endorsement.
* Bill Clinton chaperoning a group of 13 year old girls.
* Casey Anthony as my babysitter.
I Hope that nobody gets offended .
