First! Not. Oh well-- Fuck you Mystal! There, I said it.

And PE is a cock-watcher.

the 3rd circuit appointees have already been dissapointing, but I have high hopes for these. Am a little concerned about their recent rulings on the interstate commerce clause tho... also see their thoughts on Rippendale v. Plaxbury..

As long as a black man ties Obama to Kool-Aid its OK?

I'm sure that graphic would be the work of the clan itself if a white person ever dared to used it.

Look more like America? Heck, why not appoint some illegal immigrants too.

Is captain first the same as captain underpants?

#4 is fail. the Ripendale ruling was correct, go re read your contracts textbook.

Elie -- Where in god's name did you find that kool-aid pic?

Agree with 5. As a black rising 2L at Seton ITE, I take offense to this racist depiction. I think it might hurt my chances at biglaw.

I lied, you drank the Kool-Aid, and jobs died.

I'm Barack Obama?

juice??? whats juice?

-pre crazy dave chapelle

OHH YEAAHH!

They used Flavor-aid at Jonestown. Kool-Aid gets such a bad wrap.

5, If the image represents real Kool-Aid then it is not racist.

i prefer Ecto Coolers. if you know what i'm talking about, then you are cool.

Slimer was a punk! he couldnt hang w/ the kool aid man.

Suck my balls and milk my dick!

Stephon Marbury

Did you pick this because Obama smokes Kools?

obama is pussying out on admitting he smokes. everyone would like him better if he just manned up. dude lol'ing at the Stephon Marbury nonsense. the world can't get enough of him on camera.

What a coincidence, two more minorities were the most qualified candidates for an Obama appointment.

So much for merit. All hail the false god Diversity.

Elie:

You have got to be incredibly ignorant if you don't realize that it is racist to use of Obama's face superimposed on a Kool-Aid image. If what you're attempting to do is look like a fool, and racist too, congratulations: you've certainly accomplished that.

Hopefully Nguyen understands that communism is evil and strike down some of Obama's legislation. That would be rich irony indeed!

"After taking some criticism for appointing federal judges WHO need to wear, blah, blah.."

If we really want a bench that "looks more like America," then taxpayers are going to have to spring for some XXXXXXL robes. America -- a land of fatties.

Communism is "evil"? Bad policy, maybe, but "evil"?

@28

Look to North Korean labor camps, Soviet purges, Chinese Great Revolution . . .and that's just off the top of my head.

29/30: You're talking people, policies and actions. Communism itself is a philosophy that isn't any more inherently evil than democracy, oligocracy, monarchy, etc.

31 - while you are at it, throw in "fascism"... yep, not evil at all...

Elie--You probably don't know this, but the Vietnamese American community is wildly pro-Republican. Davis nominated Nguyen for a judgeship to try to pacify and get the Vietnamese votes in Little Saigon. But you know what? They voted for Bush and the then the Governator.

35, don't forget that they really admire McCain and even gave him free room and board and a personal Pilates instructor back in the late 60s/early 70s.

36---As a matter of fact, Vietnamese Americans loved McCain as well. And if you cannot discern between Vietnamese Americans and NVA and/or Viet Cong, then you are an imbecile.

Can someone explain to me why Obama won't just produce his real birth certificate to prove he is a natural born citizen as required? He's in office already, so what is he hiding? There is no question in my mind the Hawaii birth certification is a total sham. He was born in Kenya.

There is a difference between a federal judge being born a foreign citizen a U.S. President who is one. I don't see why that is so controversial a topic. Ironically, I have found most of the really hard-core true-blue Americans to be immigrants from other countries - mostly because where ever they came from is so terrible.

Moreover, anyone who thinks that Vietnamese Americans are illegal aliens is profoundly stupid.

38-- Immigrants (at least the legal ones) also tend to be Republicans. Its the illegals and self-hating guilt monger Americans who vote Democrat.

Wait. I thought that this was a racist country. Or at least thats what the Libernazis have brainwashed us to believe.

34: yes, you are correct. The same is true of fascism. Fascism refers to a philosophy of govenment to which despicable individuals have subscribed, but that doesn't make the philosophy evil. Bear in mind that the argument refers to inherent value, not assigned cultural value, and also that evil things have been done by many a democratic leader. Don't get confused.

-31

42---Exactly. Its not that 100% of Communist regimes are evil, its just that 100% of the humans employing the Communist regimes were evil. Now I understand.

You Putz.

Do I have to worry about my German Shepherd
with that Nygeun person?

43, my dear, misguided friend, only a sith deals in absolutes.

I feel like I don't even know you anymore.

"Including more immigrants will make Barack's bench look more like America."

By this one nomination I'm confident that Sierra Leone is already over-represented on the federal bench.

42 -

Of course you are correct: inanimate and intangible concepts are not and cannot be "evil". But if that's the only intellectually stimulating thought that you are able to contribute, please refrain from interjecting in the future.

As 29/30 correctly pointed out, Communism has led to the murder and extermination of millions upon millions of innocent people and the oppression and suffering of countless more survivors. It is a concept that is morally reprehensible for the goals it hopes to accomplish, the means by which it hopes to achieve those goals, and the type of monsters that it attracts and empowers. That's about as close as an intangible and inanimate concept can get to being "evil."

- 34

What's wrong with the fatties? A little fatty hump is gooooooood.

Wow, lotta neo-con trolls today...

47-

So too has democracy led to the murder and extermination of millions upon millions of innocent people and the oppression and suffering of countless more survivors. It also is a concept that, to many, is morally reprehensible for the goals it hopes to accomplish, the means by which it hopes to achieve those goals, and the type of monsters that it attracts and empowers. Would also you classify that intangible and inanimate concept as "evil"? Slippery slope you're proceeding down, friendo.

I'll ignore the sentence "But if that's the only intellectually stimulating thought that you are able to contribute, please refrain from interjecting in the future" except to say get over yourself.

Smooches!

-42

47, 42-- You're both jerk-offs.

51-

I'll grant you that 47 has made mistakes in the past, but lets refrain from the potty-mouth. Deep down, 47 is a good, salt-of-the-earth anonymous blog poster. I, on the other hand, iz jerk soff.

Is Obama even a citizen? I heard he is actually from Trinidad.

Leggo my Tobago.

50 -

Examples? Please oh please provide us a list of these evil democracies. I imagine at the top of your list will be the Nazi regime. But before you go and talk about how Hitler and his evil regime were the products of a democracy, read up on Machtergreifung and the way in which he truly obtained power.

- 47

@31

I then assume that you support gun ownership since guns don't kill people kill people. If you don't you're a hypocrite.

29

54-

First off, my point involves refraining from the use of the word evil. It's counterproductive at best. And no, I wouldn't opt for Germany, so put it back in your pants.

I don't really know what to say if you're unable to recognize that your vague metrics of "evil" describe just about every. single. world. power. that. has. ever. existed. Please don't tell me you are this naive or devoid of perspective. Please oh please.

And you needn't be snarky. It's unbecoming.

54 you idiot. Hitler was never elected. Nor was 1930s Germany a true democracy.

I believe that most idiots believe that Hitler was actually elected. he was not. he was appointed Chancellor at the threat of overthrowing the German Reichstag.

55- I support gun ownership because the Second Amendment supports gun ownership.

And Hitler himself was not elected to any office. the Nazis received a minority of the vote but enough to promote their views and the weak german President kowtowed to them by appointing Hitler Chancellor.

And if Democracies are so evil, kindle emigrate to Cuba.

55-

I think you're missing some words or punctuation in there. I also think you're generally confused.

Your argument is the logical equivalent of a fart...amorphous, smells terrible, made worse by cruciferous vegetable, etc.

-31 and all numbers that follow

58 missed the point. Probably not the first time.

Barry Dunham. Half white, half black. Black father abandons him, raised by his white family yet when confronted with the AA box upon application to Columbia and harvard, which box does he check, whote or black?

Who's the real racist.

I think the point 56 is trying to make is: "There is no such thing as evil" aka moral relativism. It's not evil, just different!

are funions part of the 5 major food groups?

The reason that you do not appoint 40 somethings to judgeships is because they still have a lot to learn and they get awfully cranky after a couple of decades on the bench.

This country is getting an A+ in diversity and an F in economics. Unfortunately, diversity does not put bread in my kids' mouths, although it does generate a lot of hope and some nifty brochures.

When do I get a President with an Italian last name? Or a Catholic President who is not assassinated. "Diversity" is leaving other hard-working people behind.

Why the hell is kool-aid racist?? It's not like Elie put Obama's picture on a bucket of fried chicken and chitlins...

Elie's Obama kool aid pic is racist against native americans.

To be more representative of the nation, Osamabama needs to appoint a lot more obese people to the bench.

Just because something is red with person-like qualities does not mean that it is racist against Indians. Sorry. Even images of a round, red-in-the-face anthropomorphic object filled with sticky sweet fluid. Hell, that could just be a good satire of Elie, and it STILL wouldn't be racist against Indians.

50: That is why we have a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY! All democracies ultimately result in a fascist dictatorship. --proven historical fact.

I love how people on this thread complaining about "diversity" stay silent when the other 90% of nominations have been white. These are very qualified individuals. Nguyen was rated as "well qualified" by the ABA. Hell, she IS more qualified than Harriet Miers. Your complaints are empty rhetoric coming from small minded individuals. This nation is going to continue to be more diverse. If you don't like it, there is always Germany for you. Oh wait, the Turk and Arab immigrants are making that country also diverse.
