I liked the ones from the backs of Comics. With those bad boys you could see right through womens clothes.

Each has their separate charm.

I do not agree with term limits for SCOTUS. I do believe in age limits, no ruling Justices after they reach 72 years of age. After that they may stay on as Emeritus Justices advising the Chief Justice as to judicial codes of ethics for the Supremes and all federal courts, and advising court personnel and the many law clerks. They would also be a resource to the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices.

They just leave out extra bowls of food and water and put down a bunch of papers.

Won't using those lenses when you already have 20/20 vision end up damaging your eyesight?

What about Michigan and Upper Michigan?

I thought the right to choose was sent back to the States, the entity closer to the people, so that the people may determine the extent, the breadth of that right. I would not call that erradicating the right.

Sure, you're fine with two Carolinas, but let the dakotas party it up and you are against it. You are an anti-Dakota-ite.

I had a friend and mentor. He was in the 704 Intel Group in Viet nam. Upon rfeturning he worked for the CIA and then for the Attorney General's Office in my state. He use to say "never ascribe to a conspiracy that which can adequately be explained by incompetence". He was a smart man. Oh, obviously he was neither the first nor the last to say that.

Well trained monkeys which have had their full spectrum of rabies shots.

Not if it was my right nut. Thing is huge.

I agree defining good behavior would likely start and maybe end as an exercise in partisanship. In the end, however, I have some faith that the Code of Ethics for the Supremes would likely mirror pretty closely those Codes already widely in place for State and Federal Judges. I believe it would end up being based on the Model Codes. Hopefully it would be adhered to more stringently than some judges and D.A.'s do now with their current obligations

I was a very successful trial attorney. I was also universally successful in my few forays into the appellate courts. i never argued in front of the State or the U..S. Supremes. I am familiar with Constitutional law and have a Constitutional philosophy as well as a judicial one. I would be a very poor Supreme Court Justice. The scholarship required for an effective Justice is a unique trait and frankly beyond me. Being an effective Justice is truly a unique skill set, so unique that few if any of the current Justices really possess the essential skill set.

Can you stab somebody with a hydrogen bomb?

I'd be surprised if you or anyone had. It takes a particularly verulent form of mental illness to follow me down the pathways I tread.

With the Court being composed of nine Justices and always, to my knowledge, sitting en banc, I believe there will always be plenty of experience in trial issues. I am not necessarily opposed to a minority of Justices lacking trial experience if they are incredibly well educated and practiced in Constitutional law issues and perhaps American history. I am also aware that each Justice has law clerks to help them research and consider issues. It is not as if they are on an island making real tinme decisions without consultation and collaberation.

Imagine if that was just one third of a Muslim three peice suit.

Myself, I am more or less oblivious to Ms. Swift's music, but waht would happen if I heard a full concert just before walking pass the Ginsu knife kiosk at the State Fair next month? Might I grab on of those bad boys and start slicing up paper thin slices of tomato after trying to dull the knife on an aluminium can? What if no tomatoes are handy, do I set in on children. Nope, Ms. Swift's music needs to be regulated as to time, place, manner, frequency and limiterd to no more than 10 mintues per day except on Sundays where you can only listen to 5 minutes and it has to be her country stuff only.

Given the real Tim's enthusiasm for Ms. Swift's music one has to worry about the type of cutlery to which he has acces. What if Tim find's himself at a Bris and a Taylor Swift song is heard from another home or a passing car? Does he take the moyle's implements and start welcoming folks to the faith?.

We need stringent Taylor Swift controls before this happens here.

Interesting too in that historically longer serving Justices became increasingly liberal over the course of their service. By term limiting then liberals would be stopping that evolution process. Of course with today's polarization past trends may well be meaningless. Time to cut the grass. See you all later.

22 Amendment. Congress probably never properly had that power on its own. The matter was raised in Congress over the years but to my understanding and memory Congress never got further than debating the matter before ultimately determining they needed a Constitutional Amendment, the 22nd Amendment.

Probably true.

I guess I am neither thoughtful nor decent. Still, I will struggle on, one day at a time.
