[QUOTE=Frank] There are no constitutional qualifications for the Supreme Court. The President could appoint you or me if he wanted to. Or both of us - and wouldn’t that be fun? [/QUOTE] Court Clerk: “Oyez, oyez, oyez - God save the United States and this honorable court.” Associate Justice Bill Clinton: “Let the record reflect that I am not wearing any pants under this robe.” Associate Justice **Shodan** : “Don’t start that crap again! You only get away with it because Sergeant-at-Arms **tomndebb** is biased against textualists!” Associate Justice **Frank** : “Don’t start that again, dammit, or we will never get thru our caseload. And quit signing your dissenting opinions, “Regards, Shodan” - it’s irritating, We can all tell they are actually written by your sock pup - I mean, your law clerks.” Chief Justice **Bricker** : "Just can it, the whole three of you. Now, this case concerns a minor child who suffered emotional injuries in a squirt gun fight on the playground at James Porter Memorial Grade School. Associate Justice Bill Clinton: “How could she suffer emotional injury if it was only a squirt gun? I mean, it’s not like someone whipped out their tallywhacker and asked her to kiss it, or anything. Er, I mean, that’s what someone told me.” Chief Justice **Bricker** : “No, nothing like that. She got squirted, and the water got her new schools clothes wet. Water is wet, you know.” Associate Justices **Shodan** and **Frank** , simultaneously: “CITE?” Associate Justice **Bryan Ekers** : “What if the child were going to grow up to be Hitler, and were covered in glue?” Associate Justice Thomas, in an aside to Justice Ginsburg: “I wish they had passed that Amendment saying that members of the SDMB could not serve on the Court.” Associate Justice Ginsburg: “What is this hair doing in my Coke?” Regards, Shodan ---

[QUOTE=Gadarene] …_And_ they’re not qualified. [/QUOTE] Says who? And how come? Before you answer, you might want to look back over the qualifications of other Justices appointed this century. Most of them were political appointees, not law professors. ---

I just watched Chris Matthews absolutely embarrass three “Clinton for McCain” supporters in Denver. The morons tried every lame Republican talking point (He’s Muslim, he wasn’t born in the USA) and when asked where they got their facts, they said “We’re not going to tell you”. They’re neither Clinton supporters nor Democrats, which I already knew, but I thought they’d at least make an attempt to disguise this fact. The Convention is one hour old and these morons have already exposed themselves as frauds. ---

I’ve about had all I can take of that smirking tool from PUMA. It’s painfully obvious that these are nothing but Republican stooges. So is that twat in the McCain commercial. ---

Actually, Obama did register as a Muslim at his school in Indonesia, didn’t he? So what? If he were a practicing Muslim, so what? We have freedom of religion in the USA, don’t we? But to return to Indonesia, if he wanted to get an education, he had to go to a Muslim school and register under his step-father’s credentials. That’s the way it worked. He was a child. It had nothing to do with him. ---

[More about Clinton](http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/No_guidance_from_Clinton.html) and [some of her supporters.](http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/24/cnn-poll-post-biden-poll-shows-dead-heat/) Hmm. If that last one is of any significance, maybe I should’ve extended my OP to cover the general election too. Is it just a temporary fit of pique? If not, as others have pointed out, maybe it’d be a reason to doubt their actual Democrat-ness… ---

OTOH, a Vegas newspaper claims that Clinton and Obama [have a deal afoot to keep a roll call vote from going out of control.](http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/aug/25/clinton-obama-working-out-deal-for-roll-call-vote/) And I gotta wonder if “now we’re Republican” quotes like the big one given [here](http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/25/mccain-camp-steps-up-efforts-to-win-over-clinton-supporters/) are really serious. ---

I hope it’s attended by first time delegates who drink themselves silly, slur “I love you guys” to the Pub hosts and throw up on the couch before returning to their rooms, remembering nothing except their hangovers the next day. ---

If McCain feels so strongly about Clinton being passed over, I hope he offers her the VP spot. ---
