would you vote to confirm A18 as justice?

[MaC]

possibly, provided he shows maturity when going through the confirmation process.  Although it would be funny as hell, it would negatively affect my vote if he said something like "Since you are a totally incompotent moron and I'll only be wasting my breath if I try to explain this again to you, I'll explain it for everyone else Mr. Schumer".

[Max Power]

No, although I might just to read the dissenting opinions.

[KillerPollo]

No because He hates me.

[Alcon]

No because He hates me.

Of course this is important, because of the upcoming ruling United States v. KillerPollo.

[Ebowed]

No because He hates me.

In that case, I would definitely vote to confirm Philip.

[KillerPollo]

No because He hates me.

Of course this is important, because of the upcoming ruling United States v. KillerPollo.

yeah... but what if it is overturned? like Roe v. Wade is prone to be.

[Frodo]

If he matures as he grows older, I could see myself voting to confirm him as a justice even if I disapprove of some of his views.  

[MaC]

No because He hates me.

Of course this is important, because of the upcoming ruling United States v. KillerPollo.

Alcon is that the one where Killerpollo declares New Mexico, Texas, southern California, Nevada and Colorado sovereign under Mexico or the one where he's accused of espionage?

Since when are there 2 Colorados?
I'll correct you on this one: Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and the tiny southwest corner of Wyoming.

[The Dowager Mod]

No

The fact that you care enough to take the southwestern corner of Wyoming speaks volumes about Mexico's desperation.

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

nope

[Cubby]

No, but I do respect his historical and legal knowledge.

[Joe Kakistocracy]

Yes, because I like to think I can put personal dislike for somebody beneath their expertise in the field that I'm confirming him for.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Right now? No. He's clever, knows his stuff and would make a good lawyer. But I wouldn't trust him to be a fair judge of anything.
If he grows up and stops being so petty and abusive I probably would.

[Democratic Hawk]

I might have done in 1789 but not in 2005

[Emsworth]

Without hesitation. I haven't seen any other poster with as much understanding of constitutional law.

[WalterMitty]

[Schmitz in 1972]

Certainly. I disagree with him on several points, but he's obviously first rate in terms of constitutional knowledge and interpretation.

Man I'd love to watch those confirmation hearings. Listening to A18 insult Schumer, Leahy, and Kennedy would just be priceless.

[All aboard the Carney-val]

Ah, I would pay $1,000 to see those hearing tapes!! He would be dragged in the mud all the way!!

[KillerPollo]

Certainly. I disagree with him on several points, but he's obviously first rate in terms of constitutional knowledge and interpretation.

Man I'd love to watch those confirmation hearings. Listening to A18 insult Schumer, Leahy, and Kennedy would just be priceless.

That'll be worth dying for wouldn't it? I'd kill just tu see a Schumer being ridiculed in C-Span.

Don't worry, I think both people there oppose it.

[Citizen James]

No, although I might just to read the dissenting opinions.

I have to admit, that would be sorely tempting.

Unlike Cheney dropping the F-bomb on the Senate floor, which will eventually be forgotten - dissenting opinions in supreme court cases are kept for posterity.

My esteemed collegues obviously know nothing of constitutional law, and I refuse to explain my reasoning to such morons...

He's a bright kid, and has a pretty good knowledge base for a 16 year old.  If he outgrows the hubris of youth he has real potential.

But the world is full of wasted potential.   Ultimately time and the decisions he makes will show if he has the wisdom to make it far in life,  or if he'll end up another brilliant crackpot lecturing at a mid level university and ranting on public access TV now and then while terrorizing his grad students.
