Roberts did his job as a lawyer and did it well. Concerning the Appeals court questioning he is under no obligation to respond to questions concerning his personal views on a matter. By not wanting to tell his personal views, he protected the constitution and the laws of the land. For he knows that judges should rule based on strict interpretation of the law and the constitution. Not on the way he “feels”. And as far as filibustering of Clinton appointees by Reps goes, no judicial appointee was filibustered until now.

“Of course during the Clinton appointments the Republicans and Hatch were not threatening to shirk their constitutional duty and filibuster an appointment …”
LOL No Hedley, all they did was never let them get out of committee. That’s the same thing only worse. Many of Clinton’s nominees were never even allowed a Cloture vote.

Which of Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees never got out of committee?

Holy Sheot! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more freaking hilarious. Now people are trying to link Roberts to Iran Contra???

Wow. I mean…..wow. And does it surprise me that Jadetin brings it up?

Not at all. He’s a Kossack through and through.

And you’re supposed to say, in an annoyed tone, “That’s Hedley!”

That was “Stop kicking Heddy,” not “Stop kicking, Heddy.”

Binky is correct.

Without President Gore, the 101st Fighting Keyboardists would be consigned to endless games of Strateg-O and Risk.

The majority did vote for him. The majority of those in Florida who voted also. The majority of votes actually counted in Florida did not.

I’m starting a new Hedley drinking game. Every time he says “elitist”, drink. You’ll be tanked in no time. Elitist, that’s a good one from someone espousing the viewpoint of “Tax Cuts for the Rich” Republicans.

Allright, allright. Enough. Stop kicking Heddy.

Hedley, writing substance free posts since 2005. Sigh.

Binky, split hairs all you want. The Internet is widely credited as having been founded in the late 60’s with the pre-DARPA ARPANET. Regardless of how great a role Gore may have played, it was an exaggeration at best for him to say that he “took the initiative in creating the Internet.” If you don’t want to see it, so be it. My point was simply that all politicians “are prone to self-inflating exaggeration.” If you want to turn this thread into a meeting of the Gore 2008 fan club, have at it.

neo, neo, neo, what are we going to do with you? “hedcheese”? Not nearly as witty as “Taliborniban.” Work on those reading comprehension skills tonight while you are playing your video collection of those Gore-Bush debates, especially the one where Gore keeps sighing and making noises. Masterful politics. We can only hope he runs in 2008 so we can see more of that. A Gore-Kerry debate would be a treat.

ARPANET / DARPANET were not available to the public, and its availablity to universities and colleges was extremely limited and would be without increased federal funding.

Without the legislation to increase the funding, as well as legislation to make the DARPANET available to the public, the public may not have had the Internets until much later.

Quoting the almighty neo, “sigh.”

Binky, if you want to continue to split hairs, fine. To take what you are now saying, Gore did not take “the initiative in creating the Internet,” but rather, took the intitiative in creating greater public access to the Internet. Looks like an exaggeration then to me. Regardless, Gore is a great man. Happy?

Somehow that doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as “Nyah, nyah! Invented the Internet! Invented the Internet!” So who’s exaggerating?

I yield to the almighty elitist wisdom of the leftwingnuts who, not surprisingly, missed the point entirely and then charge anything they don’t agree with as “lies.”

Regardlesss:

Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great.
Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great. Gore is great.

Too bad more of you didn’t vote for him.

I’ve noticed that this is a common tactic of wingnuts. We tell the truth, they lie, then they offer to “split the difference”.

No, Al Gore created the legislation that created the internet. Without Al Gore, it might have been awhile before anyone else did the same.

He did a great service for our country and was mocked for it. I’m sure it makes you feel like a bigger man to drag this out for your tittering friends.
