Default Re: Question

As far as I know he can, and I think it's at least 50-50 that he will. Bush certainly wants "his" Chief in place by the start of the next term, or else Stevens will be acting Chief.

The Dems will scream that they need more time to prepare for the switch, but I bet Hatch & Specter will ram it down.

I think the Dems would like Roberts as chief a lot better than Scalia or Thomas

RIP to a great Chief Justice.

Rehnquist was one of the most shameless and thoroughly dishonest men ever to serve on the court. He deserves no more respect in death than he did in life.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a liar, and a hack, and deserves to die, and is mean, and wants to eat babies, and whine whine whine.

It requires a lot of experience and a lot of study to begin to grasp the big picture as to what he was actually doing over his career on the court, and it's well beyond the scope of a poker forum like this.

If you can't support your position in a way for the people on this forum to understand it, then (I would suggest) your opinion is well founded.

Frankly, your response sounded like a major cop-out.
