Rehnquist Has just died
 

Breaking news on CNN

Just tuned in..
Atleast he was with his family.

At least he is finally fucking dead.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who helped shift the U.S. Supreme Court toward a more conservative ideology and strongly supported states' rights during his three decades on the bench, has died.

Well that is certain to start a ruckus.

I guess he was old school conservative, not neocon conservative.

It's going to be a political year, I guess.

That's not very nice at all to say about the deceased.

should have died in 1999 so we could at least of had a chance or hung on until 2008.

crap..this is bad... george gets another appointment.. phuck.. |angry|

Yes but he'll replace a right winger with a right winger so what will change? Remember he felt Americas had NO rights unless they were expressly mentioned in The Constitution. Privacy, health care, choice, religion, sexual expression, equal oppurtunities, education ..... The list of what is not mentioned is huge.

Sure he could appoint Jimmy Baker but how much worse could this be? Loosing the voice of reason is the one that hurt.

Don't worry, I don't think he heard me. :D I'm simply not fond of people who govern with their faith in mind.

If you think that's harsh, you should have seen some of the chatter when Andrea Dworkin kicked the bucket.

On another note, it's been paraphrased by many chroniclers of society, science, and philosophy that at the individual level, people don't really change. It's only through the death of the old guard that we ever progress at all towards more "enlightened" and fact-based beliefs. Otherwise, we'd still be locking people up as heretics for using telescopes.

I heard that news and seen it on tv, so sad...RIP CJ Rehnquist :(

You could be the dumbest fuck currently posting on this board. Just thought you should know that. |thumb

BTW, I said that in the full realization that she will never read my post, just as she didn't read any of the posts preceding hers. Chances are, she doesn't even know who the fuck Rehnquist was.

Rest in Peace Rehnquist.

I don't hate a guy I never even met just because he's against gay marriages and believes in God.

If I ever catch myself doing cartwheels when another human being dies, then on that day I can put myself in the same camp as the pro-Islamic Arabs dancing in the streets after 9/11, saying a "good American is a dead American."

Oh, I'm not doing cartwheels. For one, I've never been able to - I'm no cheerleader. But I'll damned if I'm going show reverence for the old prick either. The man was a piece of shit who felt the rule of law should abide by his beliefs. Screw his beliefs and screw his god.

Butt plug.

JESUS SAVES

I just have to wonder how the rest of the justices feel about hiring outside of the office :) I mean, the only promotion any of them can get is to be Chief Justice, right? I would be pissed :)

What a slap in the face to those who have been serving on supreme court for years
to have some numbnut with 2 years experience become chief.
Way to go bush! |thumb
This adminstration needs to be cancelled like a bad tv show!
