Since the current President subscribes to the latter thought the other group is a hindrance to his agenda.He who has been changednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581126102192272702.post-77183033473469010502010-01-28T20:29:17.661-08:002010-01-28T20:29:17.661-08:00Thanks for the comments man!Thanks for the comments man!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261700845546779132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581126102192272702.post-37105380730143222082010-01-28T16:20:40.809-08:002010-01-28T16:20:40.809-08:00Nate: I was just giving you junk.

The same 5 right leaning judges vote together all the time (same for 4 left judges). There is no independent thinking. These things are more predictable than the sun.<br /><br />As for the decision Obama was calling them out on...it was one of the worst decisions and will have widespread impacts to our elections. The average Joe like you and I will have even less of a voice. Companies and labor unions with very deep pockets can now use their dollars to directly run ads for or against candidates. They have buying power that no one else has. If we thought business was too involved in gov't...it is only going to get worse.<br /><br />I think Obama was trying to cause a controversy so more Americans would talk about the decision and find out how bad it is. <br /><br />Keep up the blogging!!!

None of the Justices are registered to a party and thus do not engage in the petty squabbling of the Republicans and Democrats. There is also a reason why a Democratic President can be upset at a predominantly left court, and that is because they make decisions that are not based on party leanings even if they may be biased toward their personal views as all humans are.<br /><br />I myself tend to lean conservative, but I am an independent and have voted for Democrats, Republicans, and other independents. It is intellectual suicide to walk and vote in lock step union with a political party.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261700845546779132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581126102192272702.post-78775961748230742182010-01-27T21:16:40.070-08:002010-01-27T21:16:40.070-08:00Your funny Nate!!!
