she sounds like she would be a good choice......... On Real Time this week, Fareed Zakaria noted that the Supreme Court now has a majority of conservative judges since they were also chosen by conservative administrations. And he said, since the country has now turned left, the Supreme Court now seems out of step with the rest of the country and it will be important to choose someone who relates to the new direction.
Oh! And another thing Fareed said.......on a different subject. Remember when the Bush admin said the fact that there had not been another attack in this country since 9/11 and that was proof that their policies worked? Yeah, I know.....no one really believes that... Anyway, Fareed said that while this country does have a muslim population, it doesn't have a lot of radical muslims. The ones who are here are people who have assimilated into our society and are not looking to overthrow the govt. He went on to say that there have been attacks in other countries who do have radical muslims there..... It makes sense to me....... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 12:07 AM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Out Lesbian for SC?? > > > Out Lesbian for Supreme Court Justice?
