Look what the court just did...

Let's see. You've appointed a Supreme Court Justice from a temporary president who just happens to be a laborite, pissed all over an election where the due winner North Carolina Yankee still hasn't been seated.

And you're complaining about partisanship? FFS.

Gass should be tossed toute de suite.

Chill out.  She just joined the game a week ago and didn't do any of that.

Then why are you ramming through Gass as a supreme court nominee? If she's just goined the game a week ago she is not qualified.

I'm not ramming through anyone.  I'm not on the Senate, so I don't have a vote on that, but personally, I think President Truman should have let the new president make the appointment like Windjammer suggested.

I don't think anyone has a problem with rpryor personally.  It's just really awkward when the SOFE is a candidate in the election and is making controversial decisions that effect the outcome.  People are going to have a hard time trusting that, whether the decisions are right or wrong.  That's why I introduced a bill in the House to have the president appoint an acting election administrator when the SOFE is a candidate.  It didn't seem too popular but it passed and went to the Senate, so we'll see what happens with that.  As far as other changes to the constitution, I'm open to ideas on what to do on that.

Also, it's just not true that people haven't been making comments in the voting booth since pretty much... ever.  I don't know why they do it, but it's happened quite a few times and the votes were always valid.  Maybe there should be a law about that.  I don't know, but acting like this has never happened just isn't true.

I am pretty sure that the justices take their job seriously.  We haven't even seen their written opinions yet and people are jumping down their throat accusing of every horror in the book.  Maybe we should at least wait and see what the opinion says?
