Drudge Report: Schumer Caught on Phone Going to War Over Court

According to the Drudge Report, Senator Chucky Schumer (D-NY) was overheard on a cell phone conversation stating “We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.”

He also talked about how many of the Republican appointments to the court have turned out to be libs, stating "most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again."

He also made light of the "Gang of 14" Senate sellout on the filibuster deal as irrelevant.

Is anybody surprised by any of this?

Dems Finally Admit Judges Make Law

"[The Supreme Court] is a totally different ball game. ... A circuit court judge is bound by stare decisis. They don't get to make new law. They have to abide by [legal precedent]."

-Senator Joseph Biden on July 3, 2005 Face the Nation, when asked whether that would break the Senate's much-heralded compromise last month not to filibuster judicial appointments except under "extraordinary circumstances."

Oh, only Supreme Court judges get to make law. I get it now. (Which is why the Dems are fighting so hard for the judiciary...and why conservatives need to wake up and fight like they want to win)!

Courts Are Out of Control

It's one of 'dem days, folks.

More evidence that we DESPERATELY need to rein in the courts, to protect the people from these moronic (at best) and malevolent (more likely) idiot-lawyers who are called judges.

He grabbed girl's arm -- now he's a sex offender from the Chicago Sun-Times tells of a man who stopped and grabbed a 14 year old girl's arm and reprimanded her after she ran out in front of his car--and now he's a sex offender. The article mentions nothing about what he did that would indicate any sort of sexual action whatsoever.

In fact, the quotes provided indicate that the court acknowledges this, only indicating that his actions in grabbing the girl by the arm are "often a precursor" of sexual activity.

Well, I'm glad that our almighty courts now have the ability to read minds, see inside people's hearts and foretell the future!!! Idiot judges like this can predict that a man who would grab a girl's arm as he reprimands her for running out in front of a moving car will molest, yet idiot judges let drug dealers and real child molestors go on probation and other slaps on the wrist, further endangering society.

Our judicial system once existed to protect society, to protect the innocent from guilty; now it seems to exist to protect the guilty from consequences!

Here's some more deliberate (and pretty juvenile) obfuscation.

Seems the peace-loving and ever-thoughtful government of Iran have figured out why Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice doesn't like them very much.

TEHRAN: Perplexed by the vitriol of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's attacks on Iran, one lawmaker believes he has uncovered the secret of her enmity - that she was spurned by an Iranian boyfriend at college.
"The reason that the US secretary of state attacks Iran is because she had her heart broken by a young man from Qazvin while they were students," a confident Shokrollah Attarzadeh was quoted by the ISNA agency as saying.
Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."

Oh, I'm glad they cleared that up. I guess it has nothing to do with our people they took hostage during the disasterous Carter administration, the decades of sponsorship of terrorism, the religious opporession, civil rights violations, or any of the other barbaric practices of Iran.

No, none of that matters in the face of a purported college relationship decades ago when Rice was a young woman. After all, PhD accredited former national security advisors and secretaries of state are often known for pining away for unrequited love.
