Where we were

Where we were four years ago today

Today's idiot ... but there may be more.
Uber nincompoop Jeffery Feiger, erstwhile lawyer for Dr. Death (Jack Kevorkian), and one-time Michigan gubernatorial  candidate, just now dumped  these pearls on an unsuspecting  Fox & Friends audience.
  • "Contrary to popular belief, David Souter is not a liberal.  He's just makes up his own mind on issues ."
  • "You don't have to be judge to be named to the Supreme Court, but you do have to be a lawyer."
Feiger discussed an "ideologue's sphere of influence" on the SCOTUS, and identified said sphere as Justices Thomas, and Scalia, which accounts for Feiger's notion that Souter is a mainstream thinker.  On the second point, Feiger is plain ignorant. There is no such requirement.

There is no constitutional requirement that you have to be a lawyer to be on the U.S. Supreme Court.

As I pointed out. Which leaves us all with some hope that I will be named Chief Justice. I'll go to work packing.

Here's another thing lots of people don't know. You do not have to be a member of congress to be Speaker of the House. Think about the possibilities. With just 218 votes, I could be the next Speaker, and third in line of succession to the presidency.


And one more thing. You do not have to be a priest to be elected Pope.

It is quite surprising to me that The Komrade Emperor of All the World didn't name Kervorkian to be his Surgeon General.

Well, hell . . . since nobody else has said it, you don't even have to be a native-born American to be PotUS.
