Re: Undecided voter...who the hell should I vote for?

[QUOTE=88Mariner;669827][B]provided it happens in a rational and thoughtful manner[/B]

which, doesn't happen for the most part. If there were clear evidence of this, I'd probably agree. However, I have no evidence of this whatsoever.[/QUOTE]

Well, constitutional interpretation occurs in the context of an adversarial process, with extensive briefing and argument, and is decided by some of the sharpest legal minds our country has to offer. If you don't agree that the litigation process results, more often than not, in a "rational and thoughtful" way of resolving these sorts of issues, you might want to look into a new chosen profession. :lol:

Look, I don't like Alito or Scalia from an ideological standpoint, but I'd be hard-pressed to argue that they aren't sharp motherfuckers. When the folks on the Supreme Court rule upon a constitutional issue, I'm pretty sure they've thought about it, and they've been provided all relevant authority by the parties and the various amici that also file briefs.

i wrote that with Kelo in mind. To paraphrase Justice Thomas, "what the [I]fuck[/I] just happened???" Even liberals hated the way Kelo came out, and yet, one wonders how that became law. This is what I mean by irrational. Not that they aren't decided in a rational manner, but that, they come to irrational [I]conclusions[/I].

This is why I hate cardozo. :)

[I][COLOR=yellow]This is an amazing race. The incumbent president has approval ratings somewhere between Robert Mugabe and the ebola virus.

Is he looking at different polls than the rest of us?

yes, two of eleven national polls that came out today have McCain only back three, but to think that is the story is the ultimate in cherry picking. Not that it matters, because McCain is getting waxed in the electoral college.

You know things have gone south when your best argument is that you should be getting your ass kicked by more.
