Supreme Court apointees worry me more than cabinet appointees.

Yes, really! We are likely to see some very ugly confirmation processes with three Justices figured to retire, probably announcing shortly.

AZ Governor Janet Napolitano was today named to Obama's "White House transition team" and is mentioned as a likely cabinet member. Her background makes it appear that she would be an actively anti-gun Attorney General. See http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/archive/local/86498.php

Prior to her election as Governor, Napolitano served as U.S. Attorney for Arizona and as Arizona’s first female Attorney General.

Oh, great - another "Janet" as AG  :O

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Well I sure as hope they're really ugly.  If they aren't it'll probably mean the Republicans just rolled over and let a marxist onto the court.

Didn't she get in some trouble earlier this year or last year? I remember seeing something in the press negative about her.

Didn't seem to have affected his chief of staff pick.

This is going to be a rogue's gallery of insiders and slime, at this point.

What did you expect from a Chi-town political insider?....

I imagine the rest of Arizona will be happy to be rid of her.

And John Kerry is pushing to be Sec of State.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

You can have her.   =D

Sounds like we get Jan Brewer (R) as governor then.

Look out, illegals.  We might put some state-level teeth into border enforcement if that's the case.  As well as employers of illegals.

As long as Washington stays occupied with relatively harmless graft and ineffectual, we could have some progress here locally. :lol:

I'm wondering how long it will take Obama to "suggest" privately, Chicago-style and behind the scenes, to some of the conservative justices that they "retire"?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Scalia is an Italian from Chicago.  He'd tell him "Nice Try..."

McPeak - SecDef
Kerry - Sec State
Dailey, Bill (Richie's Brother) SecTreas or Commerce
Ingrid Newkirk - Sec Ag (Wouldn't be surprised...)

Hillary - Ambassador to Antartica or Vatican City.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
