Great speech by Hillary

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Yeah, anyone would look like the greatest president of all-time if they held office in between the terms of the two corrupt imbeciles who came before and after Clinton.

It's like ranking Special Olympic track and field athletes.

since lyndon johnson, we've had ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush. four reps, two dems. but in that time, has the court been 'stacked'? no, and not with more reps in office in the last 30-odd years. altho the president gets to nominate a justice, they still have to get approved. there can't be a stacking of the supreme court, regardless of who the chief executive is, because he isn't the only one with any say in the matter.

That's not true...Except Reagan, and why I'm not sure, President's pick the justice who lines up with their moral beliefs ( because that's how the Supreme Court really affects us) and is still acceptable enough to get passed. If give the choice between Charlton Heston or John Roberts, who do you think will get nominated..It's the lesser of two evils. And yes, it works both ways

then why hasn't it happened? abortion hasn't been overturned, our bill of rights still there, etc, etc. my point was that if the evil (enter party here) ones wanted to stack the court, they've had ample opportunity. yet it hasn't happened.

Because one party hasn't held the presidency long enough to get enough justices on board. If Clinton hadn't won, abortion would be illegal and if Bush hadn't won, concealed carry wouldn't be legal now, and so on..If McCain wins and Stephens retires, watch what happens
