Coupla things:

Post #72,049 by jb4 1/2/03 12:55:25 PM Reply	Coupla things: I am wondering if the irony is going to be lost on the Democrats trying to win the next Presidential election by a wide enough margin that the Rehnquist Five won't be allowed to select Dubya's successor. According to news reports, Rehnquist is going to retire this year, probably in June. So it won't be the Rehnquist 5, it will be the Scalia 5 (all his dreams will be fulfilled). Expect another lapdog (ref. C. Thomas) as Rehn's replacement, all nicely confirmed by the Republican Senate. It will be interesting to see if the Murican people (or at least a majority of them) are as dumb as I suspect they are. The proof will be if Dubya actually gets elected the next time around. I tend to disagree. The majority of Murican people didn't vote, and I suspect will not vote this time :-(. So a Duh victory in 2004 won't prove anything, except that the Repo precinct captains are more adept at getting out the limited vote than their Democratic counterparts. And a Bush victory in 2008 will prove what we've been saying all along.... jb4 "They lead. They don't manage. The carrot always wins over the stick. Ask your horse.

Article XXII will not be repealed in that way; it will simply be "suspended" by executive fiat. jb4 "They lead. They don't manage. The carrot always wins over the stick. Ask your horse.

I've already heard mention of plans to bring the other Bush brother in to replace the current one. So no need of repeal till 2012. Jay
