Your supreme courts really do suck

[JP Dogberry]

Hypocracy is a theoretical term. Anyone who disagrees is a Hypocrite.

I stoped reading this thread a bit ago but becasue I'm bored at work I'm back babey! Well at least for this post.  Anyway Gorgon pretty much hit the nail on the head there, better then I could have at least.

Is JP in his 'well I lost but screw you all i'm gonna make some snarky comments!' phase now?

[JP Dogberry]

No, I just realised you're all too stupid to understand my supeior argument, so I won't bother.

I don't argue with idiots. They drag me to their level and beat me with experience. The fact that mutliple people have invoked fallacies of the form

a is X
b is like a in some regards
therefore b is X

instead of real arguments means I can't be bothered wasting me time.

Including Jam! none of you arguments have been sound and specifically on the issue, incidentally.

JP, I'm still on your list -- never burned a CD, never used P2P (illegally or otherwise).

I refuse to be scooped.

I deny that thread exists.

Go ahead, wish for the Nile.

Jam replied with...

So, in other words, yes.

So, Sandra Day O'Conner resigned.  This is big frickin' news.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

wow. What an interesting time to resign.

[House of Mustard]

It really messes up the expected political manuevering.  Everyone thought that Rehnquist (a conservative) would resign first, and the Democrats would allow Bush to nominate another conservative in his place.  Then, when O'Connor (a moderate) resigned, the Dems would push hard for a liberal nominee -- saying "We let you have your conservative already...".

That's all shot to heck now.  I'd expect some serious fighting -- and we'll be facing the so-called "nuclear option" again in the very near future.
