You'll be too late. I'll save Teddy and John for you, though. Your state owns them, y'all can deal with them.
Just say another really pathetic read, by a Liberal Rag. These clowns are trying to justify Leahy's split with the party. Leahy knows how blocking the nomination would SCREW him back here. He's already under heat for voting AGAINST eliminating frivolous lawsuits by cities.

Leahy's vote for Roberts part of Democrats' strategy
September 25, 2005
BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST
The vote by Sen. Patrick Leahy, ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, to confirm Judge John G. Roberts Jr. as chief justice surprised Bush administration officials. But it fit Democrats' Supreme Court grand strategy.
Leahy is not really at odds with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who came out against confirmation. Leahy opened the door for yes votes by Democratic senators (including two Judiciary Committee colleagues) who believe Roberts is going to be confirmed anyway. Reid's position puts the party formally in opposition to Roberts, satisfying People for the American Way and other anti- Roberts liberal activist groups.

I think we all want a chance at them both. [lol]
Maybe a harpoon for him. [lol]
(Mod hat on) Might I suggest that some of these comments (although I kKNOW are said as a joke) might seem threatening to someone reading them that isn't part of our little community??? I've deleted the ones in question.

Thanks, Lynne. With the First Amendment under fire, you can't even afford to joke about harming a politico... some idiot will think you mean it.
Personally, the way I want to "harm" Teddy Kennedy is 100% legal - I want to vote the SOB out of office and watch him cry about it! That would be sweet to see.

Another way to "hurt" Teddy would be to convict him of his past indiscretions, lock him up in solitary, give him a case of Chevas each day, and let him drink himself to death.
That would be a legal version of "Assisted Suicide", wouldn't it?
