I just saw that George Bush nominated John Robertson for Vice President, I think. Now, I'm not big on Bush's decisions, but I wonder what Robertson is gonna do now that he's under office as Vice? Hopefully something better.

I have the eerie feeling that a Jay-walking skit is about to happen :)
First of all, [DAMNIT MAN, DON'T FILTER DICK] Dick Cheney is Vice President. Secondly, you can't nominate a new person for Vice President mid-term unless he gets wacked as well as the Speaker of the House (which has never happened). Third, Bush isn't allowed to run for President next election as he has been President two consecutive terms. And last of all, it's John Roberts who has been nominated for the Supreme Court as a replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor.
And for those of you who don't know, Rehnquist died just a couple of days ago. Something tells me that only maybe Izar, myself, and a few others actually know this :/
(BTW, the nomination is almost a months old piece of news)

I think I heard about the death of Rehnquist. I didn't pay much attention to it ... seeing as politics aren't my kind of thing.

It's actually really simple. If John Roberts gets approved (which he actually might not) he will become supreme court cheif justice. When you have this position the only way to stop is to quit or to die. John Roberts is only 40 years old. William Rehnquist was nominated during the Nixon era. Imagine if Roberts lived to be 90. This would mean that George Bush would have his idealistics in control of the Supreme Courts for 50 years. This is a scary thought as this is the same man that cut 32 million from the budget to give tax breaks to the rich. And, oh yeah, some of that budget money was going to be used to raise the levees in New Orleans. That's all I have to say.

Another great way to screw up our great country even more
32 million dollars, could have saved so many people and so much damage.

Now, If this new guy is elected, I don't care either way, it's not my decision.

Last of all, you shouldn't be worried about Roberts - you should be worried about the second judge Bush will nominate, because that would then swing the court towards a conservative stance (which isn't bad, but it could be depending on who Bush wants). And maybe you should also be a bit worried as to why Bush responed to the Supreme Court situation in two days, and it took him almost a week to go to the Katrina site and say what he would do (which was, OMGZORZ, make a stupid ass committee to state the obvious).

Bush's terms are about up, a few more years ain't so bad, so whatever he does, cool, whatever, at least it doesn't bother me too much now.
