Congratulations, you have reached a new low. Next time try and be a little more creative than the five year old down the street.

I am not even watching the Twins I am watching Psych which is hilarious unlike you and Tonka Boy.
Plus the Favre stuff is hilarious why would that tick me off? Watching all the fans and media run like ants whenever he goes outside is the cure for the summertime blues my friend
It was an obvious joke. He's just PMS'ing because the Twins are struggling in Tampa Bay, and Favre is having his usual will-he-or-won't-he drama.

Never mind, found the thread. Apparently the search function on the new board is still funky.
Anywho, while not SCOTUS related, the Iowa judicial retention votes are getting major airtime this year. Some 3-time failed gubernatorial candidate is leading the charge to oust the 3 state supreme court justices facing retention this year, in retaliation solely for their ruling allowing same-sex marriage. Sadly, he and his out-of-state money from some Mississippi group seem to be carrying the day, as the latest poll shows a dead-heat on the issue.
I will say, the wingnuts coming out in support of ouster would make you laugh if it weren't so sad. Their sole reason is that one ruling - who cares if they got every other one right (which the law of averages say they probably did not) or that they've maintained their professionalism and propriety (which they have). It's a perfect storm really, especially when you've got whatever percentage of the people who vote no every year just out of spite or envy or whatever causes them to hate all judges.
Apparently some new wingnut is campaigning to not just get rid of the 3 supreme court justices, but every judge in the state up for retention. That'll lern 'em, or something.

Re: The Power of the SCOTUS II: "Release the Kagan!"
There's a guy half a mile from my house who has signs plastered all over his yard saying "Total recall: constitutional provision to recall all sitting justices," followed by the mandatory Bible quotes and anti-UN fulminations (it's a Jewish plot, if you didn't know). His house looks exactly like the lair from "Jeepers Creepers," and it's covered in the homemade bird feeders he sells ("at reasonable prices!"). In my county, this guy is considered slightly right of center.

I know Thomas's wife is from Omaha and a Creighton grad (which is a big reason why Justice Thomas comes to Creighton's Law School every other year), but honestly, the more words I hear out of her mouth...cookoo doesn't even come close.

To be fair, Maureen Scalia wrote it for her and she just read it.

It really does sound that way doesn't it? I think she called at around 6:30 in the morning. Like she rolled out of bed like, "You know who I haven't talked to in forever? Anita Hill!"

Nothing crazy there. Unrealistic, probably. Crazy no. Those are rationale, reasoned words, but just not recognizing that if anyone was going to come clean on things from the famous he-said/she-said of 20 years ago, it would likely have already happened. But I don't see why people are going nuts over this, other than that the media hate Thomas and go after him at the slightest provocation.

Re: The Power of the SCOTUS II: "Release the Kagan!"
Hey, I like Clarence Thomas, I think he's excellent. Maybe "crazy" was the wrong word to use. However, even if you think Anita Hill was lying, it's still pretty odd for Ginny Thomas to think that Hill is going to apologize- and thus renounce her meal ticket for the past 20 years.
Plus, if you like a good conspiracy theory, there's a lot of stuff to work with here. Is she asking for an apology because Thomas is ready to step down, and wants vindication? Or maybe Ginny Thomas has some evidence proving Hill was lying, and wanted to give her a chance to apologize before she went public?

Re: The Power of the SCOTUS II: "Release the Kagan!"
I doubt there's any "evidence" of Hill lying or what have you. If so, I'd bet it would have surfaced years ago. Justice Thomas and Prof. Hill seem to have gone their own ways and established themselves accordingly. Why Mrs. Thomas thought it was a good idea to open that can of Coke is beyond me.
Conspiracy? Perhaps Prof. Hill and Justice Thomas are more than just enemies.
