court stacking begins

they think they are center?

they think just not being a republican anymore relieves them of the blame of supporting the ideas that gave us this mess under whatever fucking label they give themselves.


This was caused by Deregulation folks.

Its the rights second big issue.

Tax cuts and deregulation is all the right knows.

Must continue to ask why did Clinton sign the '99 deregulation bill you say caused this financial? Why was Rubin pushing Clinton to sign it?

And the answer is not 'because he's an asshole'. He's a Democrat, Democrats don't believe in deregulation you say.

Remember Clinton saying the "the era of big goevernment is over"?

He bought what the right had sold him.

I wish he hadnt but be did.

How does that change the fact that Deregulation has been champoined by the right for decades?

Clinton formed the republican wing of the Democratic Party, and that wing of the party is not against deregulation. Rubin, who did push Clinton to sign it, as did Larry Summers and many other Clinton-era financial thinkers share the blame for this crisis.

However, it was under Bush and Phil Gramm that things began to unravel and Enron was one of many examples of that to come.

Both parties share the blame .. but the real culprit is the giant gaping hole in the concept of democracy.

Her point is that deregualtion and the "free market" has been championed by the right long before Clinton and the democrats bought into it .. and that's a valid point.

It points directly to where democrats lost their way and were no longer a champion of the common.

Oh, I agree those on the right and economic libertairans have been preaching freer markets and more deregulation for a long time.

Desh's specific argument is D's vs. R's. Well that's a very facile story line as both parties have been involved in deregulation as even you've stated.

So you put stock in the ABA rating 14 years ago, but no stock in the ABA rating now? That's odd.

I didn't say I did or did not. Personally, I pretty much disregard ABA ratings as they usually end up being part of the 'good ol' boy' network anyway.

My sense is that having no prior judicial experience got him a not qualified rating 14 years ago and his 14 years of experience as a District Court judge got him a well-qualified rating now.

which is why i'm trying to research his work.

And since you know next to nothing about the guy being against him until you are proven otherwise seems like an odd place to start, but whatever.

I guess that puts me in about the 75% group of americans, but whatever.

Edit: Adding, one would presume that Judicial Watch is doing their level best to not have the man appointed. Since they have to go back to how the judge spent one month of his time in the summer of 1979 when had just graduated college I'm guessing they've got nothing other than "judicial activist!" gobbledygook.

I actually only got as far as the ABA rating. one month 30 years ago doesn't strike me as disqualifying unless that one month was spent attacking the US, like certain other Obama associates.

This is yet another demonstration my brother that you're no centrist. Obama IS a centrist, which is why you don't like him. You are a dissaffected republican but still loyal to the ideology of the right.

Just come clean, drop this pretense of being a centrist and stand proudly on the right.

Honesty is very liberating.

:sigh:

maybe one more time, with feeling.

I am not a republican, nor am I centrist. I am a die hard, dyed in the wool, Libertarian. If you choose to label that right wing, then so be it. I'm right wing. :mun:

That's true. Deregulation of Banking began under the Carter administration.
