was John Kerry WRONG to pledge to apply a Supreme Court litmus test? |
Kerry PROMISED he would apply a strict pro-abortion litmus test to ANY
Supreme Court vacancy nominee he picked. Was Kerry WRONG to pledge that?
Will Kerry now ADMIT that was a mistake he made? Do ANY of you Kerry
Followers SUPPORT that pledge Kerry made?

There is NOTHING to stop President Bush from appointing ONLY justices who
OPPOSE Roe v. Wade, and your sick boy Kerry has paved the way for that
happening with HIS pledge of a litmus test.

What exactly are you trying to prove? Even had he not known
previously he could easily look it up using the computer he is
currently posting on.
And despite the fact he uses the term in the correct context you
evidently think you can embarrass him on some stupid junior chemist
term quiz.
Do you imagine you're intellectually superior and this automatically
validates your own biased position obviating the need to argue the
relative merits?
Or are you just surly and sore after your big loss?
Spongehead knows he is trapped. He's also bitter because of his big loss.
The burden of proof was on the Demmies, and those Demmies FAILED to prove
their claims.
The Demmies may NEVER figure out why they and their failed ideas continue to
be rejected.
So be it.

Of course the dummies don't know what limus is. Much less a test that
employes it to evaluate the pH of a solution. It is a phase he heard that
he parrots. Hmmm parrot. parrot brain. bird brain. It fits. They still
think they're "winners" too.

Foolcow? Is that you, Mrs Reynolds? It's been a long time. Not long
enough for me. Yes, I even went to college since taking your class back
then. Summa cume laude. No, I never learned to like English grammar,
spelled like hammar -- I took them 420x and 620x classes instead of them
101s. And I guess it shows. May I go to the bathroom now?

I'll ignore the namecalling and answer the question.
Yes, I supported John Kerry when he said he would not appoint to the
Supreme Court a Justice who had taken the position that he or she
would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. I would also have supported him
if he had said the same thing about, say, Brown v. Board of Education,
or several other Supreme Court cases I can think of.
Was it a strategic mistake for Kerry to have said that? I am going to
go against the grain of internet posting and say I don't know enough
to answer that question.
Last point. Anybody that thinks that Bush doesn't have a litmus test
on this issue is, I strongly believe, kidding themselves.--Joe

Yes, I think it was. Why? Because that erroneous ruling wasn't based on
Constitutional text.
Thus it will be equally valid to pack the Supreme Court with justices who
pledge to rule to overturn the erroneous Roe v. Wade ruling.

He says he doesn't, although I am hoping he will change his mind about that
and apply a strict litmus test, nominating ONLY those judges who pledge to
rule to overturn the erroneous Roe v. Wade ruling.
Kerry, as you probably know, has ALREADY pledged that he would nominate ONLY
those judges who would SUPPORT the Roe v. Wade ruling.

I apologise for the name calling. I need to get off of usenet for a while.
One guy caught me on spelling and you attacked me on sentence structure. I
think that if people generally addressed such things, little of importance
would ever be discussed here.
I don't know what to make of your first paragraph. Are you saying you didn't
support Kerry because he didn't take a stand on "Brown v. Board of
Education or several other Supreme Court cases"? I recall a general
statement that he would insure that what is in effect now stays in effect,
but I didn't know there was an issue with Brown. That was a broad reaching
decision though, 14th Amendment stuff wasn't it? It got rid of "separate
but equal" policies. Bussing was part of the "fallout." I was against it
when it affected me of course, but now that it affects other kids I'm all
for it. I don't know the issue -- overturning it would put us back in 50s
wouldn't it? Oh - school vouchers. Is that it? Kerry clearly said he was
against that several times. Bush is for it. All that money going into
public education -- soon to readily available for looting, just makes
corporate boards tremble with exitement.
It was indeed a mistake for Kerry to have said that, or anything else for
thay matter -- with right wing news media as well as Bush, misquoting and
lying about everything he said.
And Bush is for a rockwell hardness test, rather than litmus concerning Roe
V Wade.
(one measures "whether or not", the other, measures "to what degree" and
damages the sample)

One quesion, if the Democrats think it was ok for John Kerry to have a
litimus test on Supreme Court justices, why do they feel its wrong for Bush
to do so? He was elected on his beliefs and convictions by the majority of
Americans. What do you think? I keep hearing he is wrong for doing so,
but the same people think it would be ok for Kerry to do so, is this a
double standard from the left?

It's interesting that you would "think" (to use the term loosely) that if I
observe a given individual is parroting something, then everyone must be
doing the same. Not True. (Excuse me) That isn't true. Kerry is a Rhodes
Scholar. You have to have some basic chemistry there.
See, your problem was explored in a study a year or two ago that concluded
incompetent people assume everyone else is as incompetent as they
themselves. The problem being, to recognise that you are incompetent you
must first develop cognitive skills in the afflicted area -- which in turn
would make it so you were no longer incompetent in that area.
Thus incompetent people generally assume everyone else is as incompetent as
they are. Hence, your conclusion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't basic chemistry taught in just
about every high school?
You stated that the poster using the term "litmus test" was parroting
something. Since you gave no evidence to support that assertion, the
only reasonable conclusion was that you believe anybody who uses that term
to be parroting it. Or did you assume that he never went to high school?

That isn't true. I have no knowledge of, for example, the Hungarian
language. This doesn't lead me to believe that nobody speaks Hungarian.

No. My assumption is that someone who uses a term but dodges repeated
questions concerning the meaning of the term doesn't really know what it
means -- and doesn't know how to use Lycos or Google well either. Hence,
they are Republicans. And more specifically, one such that voted for Bush
despite the fact that he committed my country to war on a false pretext.
Hence my characterization, which I believe to be a foregone conclusion.
Your first response to my prior post was at 12:09 am, this one at 12:21 so
it took you about 20 minutes to derive this particular argument. Unless you
took time "off" for something.
Basic chemistry is generally an "elective" if memory serves, which it does.
Unless you consider "Meet Mr Wizard" sufficient to check this square. I
don't. True that most, if not all high schools do indeed teach chemistry.
Not true that everyone who attends high school takes chemistry. Now put on
your thinking
cap: Therefore, it does not logically follow that "the only reasonable
conclusion (is) that anybody who uses that term is parroting it" or that I
think that to be the case, or that I "assume that he never went to high
school". Follow?
On the other item, your inference that "knowledge" is the same as
"competence" is in error. For that reason and others, thus rendered
irrelevant, your analogy is in error as well.
Put another quarter in and try again.

Thank you. In that case, neither will it be wrong for President Bush to

a 51 to 48 % mandate.
Hey dude, go for it. Really. I don't care.
The government has an excellent track record in creating and enforcing moral
law. Prisons are our number 1 growth industry here in Texas. In the US we
already jail more of our people than any other civilized country in the
world.
Have to admit the moral "war on drugs" was indeed an astounding success:
creating gangs, killing and murder all across the country -- even in school
yards. Police dogs sniff out drugs on campus as M16 armed policemen stand
by -- in case they're "needed". 12 foot chain link fences surround
playgrounds as though announcing the astounding success of the effort.
After these 20 years and how many billions of dollars, illegal drugs are
practically a thing of the past. Meanwhile the "moral" majority stands by
while people thus committed to their institutions -- by their demand --
have been routinely forcibly sodomized, forced to join gangs and even
murdered all in the name of morality. Makes sense to me.
Prior to that, moral laws against alcohol invoked even as the economy
collapsed, brought us the gangs of the 1930s, murder and violence and
spinoffs like "machine gun" Kelly and the "mafia", legalized prostitution
and gambling.
Big Government. Yes that's what we need to solve our moral problems. A
proven record.

despite the fact that he committed my country to war on a false pretext.
Hence my characterization, which I believe to be a foregone conclusion.
The poster didn't dodge your questions; he ignored your repeated
questions, because they were irrelevant.
Your first response to my prior post was at 12:09 am, this one at 12:21 so
it took you about 20 minutes to derive this particular argument. Unless you
took time "off" for something.
21-9 = 20 ?
Basic chemistry is generally an "elective" if memory serves, which it does.
Unless you consider "Meet Mr Wizard" sufficient to check this square. I
don't. True that most, if not all high schools do indeed teach chemistry.
Not true that everyone who attends high school takes chemistry. Now put on
your thinking
cap: Therefore, it does not logically follow that "the only reasonable
conclusion (is) that anybody who uses that term is parroting it" or that I
think that to be the case, or that I "assume that he never went to high
school". Follow?
The fact remains, you stated that he was parroting the term, but gave no
reason for saying so, which was my whole point.
On the other item, your inference that "knowledge" is the same as
"competence" is in error. For that reason and others, thus rendered
irrelevant, your analogy is in error as well.
I inferred no such thing.
Put another quarter in and try again.
eh?

It wasn't my fault Mrs Reynolds. I didn't never ask nobody what litmus was.
Somebody else did it. Not me. I just volunteered to state the obvious.
The one guy answered the other one's question soes I thought he should
return the favor and answer the others question, too. Thats the way it was,
Mrs Reynolds. Honest.
Yes, the caps on my keyboard are pretty bleak now days. Not no numbers left
nor letters, and I was in a hurry. I... Yes, I'll get another keyboard and
review my cipherin'... Naught plus naught is naught... Naught plus one is
one... Naught plus two is two...
First it was grammer, then it was spellin', now it's 'rithmetic... Yes, Mrs
Reynolds: Naught plus three is three... naught plus four is four... naught
plus five is five...

You aren't a very good mind reader.
Keep trying, though; I'm sure you'll improve.

It's interesting that you would "think" (to use the term loosely) that if I
observe a given individual is parroting something, then everyone must be
doing the same. Not True. (Excuse me) That isn't true. Kerry is a Rhodes
Scholar. You have to have some basic chemistry there.
See, your problem was explored in a study a year or two ago that concluded
incompetent people assume everyone else is as incompetent as they
themselves. The problem being, to recognise that you are incompetent you
must first develop cognitive skills in the afflicted area -- which in turn
would make it so you were no longer incompetent in that area.
Thus incompetent people generally assume everyone else is as incompetent as
they are. Hence, your conclusion.

Of course the dummies don't know what limus is. Much less a test that

think they're "winners" too.
Since anybody who uses the phrase "litmus test" in this context is just
parroting it, I guess John Kerry is a bird brain also.
