Yea, every time I come up with a reason to vote for Obama, he makes sure there is another one to make me vote against him.

Me! I should be on the court!

You lost it there. Stevens I will agree with, but not Ginsberg. She is a quota kid.

Hate him or love him but Scalia is the most brilliant mind. Quite frankly we need Jurists that know and understand the law, not vote because of the way they "feel".

The reasoning behind it was to put them above the raging whims of society. In that I kind of agree. We dont want Justices that have to worry about re-appointment based on polls. (or maybe no re-appointment). And yea, they did not expect justices to be sitting there into their 90s. 14 years is enough to go beyond the latest whims though. It might be a good idea. But I dont think it will happen because of apathy. Most people dont care about them and except for some monumental decisions (like Roe, Dred Scott, etc.) no one but political junkies pay much attention to them.

Not sure that animal exists today.

Well I would hope that in the case of the judges their partisan allegiances do not interfere with their rationale, both in strict and loose interpretations of the constitution. That's why I still admire Chief Justice Roberts despite leaning on the conservative side of the spectrum; he does his job as intended.




Well Hillary Clinton attended Wellesley College and later attained her law degree at Yale...

Barack Obama attended Columbia University then attained his law degree at Harvard...

Intelligent? Yes. Whether or not they agree with all of your opinions on the other hand may or may not be the case.



lol well actually you don't have to grow up and pay taxes to have people hear you, when I was in high school we organized rallies, signed petitions, and basically annoyed local officials enough to change at least a few things in my school, like allowing a student newspaper, preventing a uniform policy, and allowing students to be part of (at least in an arbitrary way) the decision making committee.

Youth rights / Children's rights are far too broad of a subject though... I guess it just comes down to what do you think makes you different from an individual under the age of 18 (or 21 if we are discussing alcohol consumption).

*imagens hillary as a surpreme court justice* The HORRORS! The HORRORS! An unitintelligent person rulling in a top of the line seat of goverment.

That would hit low on any proggression and most likely help nothing but impead our economy, what the constitution, and the freedom's of the American people. If that ever happens what a sad day it would be.



Now that happens all the time. Expressed(using very logical answeres and things that they told me to do) my self dozens of times and half of them I have receieved a detention for. So yeah Nitro that thing you worry about does happen often.

You appear to be either very young, or getting up there. SOunds like my High school days (and I am no spring chicken), but not the ones of the 80s or 90s. Ah, the idealism of youth.

Enjoy your college days! My second just graduated last month, and I have another who is going to be a sophmore - I guess that gives a hint on how old I am.
