Both of them need to go.

We need to develop language as well. Please feel free to suggest.
Confirmation hearings for supreme court justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor continue..
The Republican Senate reminds us how much change is coming perhaps?
Judge Sotomayor’s Opinions Were Reversed, Vacated, Or Criticized Nine Out Of Ten Times By The U.S. Supreme Court
She is an offhand reject of the court already.. I’ll bet a couple of whoopee cushions wind up under a conservative butt or two if she gets to occupy this open seat.
Malkin is following the hearings as well..
And Sotomayor will be one cleared hurdle closer to overcoming yet another set of “incredible odds” to complete her “compelling personal story.”
Yeah.. compelling.. But of course even us average joes might have a compelling story or two. But it seems the odds are in favor of a new flavor. Certainly we couldnt have a justice appointed on the basis of respect for law, or even the constiitution, but rather one gets appointed to “color” for the purpose of “coloring” more fully one of the more important positions in the land.
So much for the blind eye of justice.
Which senators need a spanking?
But unfortunately are protected by a seriously large number of signatures required.. So in the mean time we need to put pressure on them. From Hall of Record:
As you examine the arguments for and against the proposed energy/climate bill, I suggest that you, as a senator for the state of Michigan, focus very specifically on the factors that will impact Michigan.
You know it.. These two (Levin and Stabenow) are perfect candidates for a Posse event, but as I said it would be a monumental effort to get the several hundred thousand signatures to put them on the ballot. They think so anyhow, but fact of the matter is we can be annoying as all get out when we want to be, and frankly if there was ever a time…
If not a recall perhaps a hell of a lot of phone calls.. as Bruce explains further:
The very basis for this legislation is faulty and the results of this legislation will be disastrous for Michigan. I request that you carefully consider your decision when casting your vote.
He is right. This type of legislating has already nearly killed the manufacturing sector, and it seems Senators Levin and Stabenow both, have been quite willing accomplices.
