packing the Donk's ass

Democrats try to pack the courts
Obama and the Senate are emulating FDR



A subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Wednesday on the proposed Federal Judgeship Act of 2009 (S. 1653), which would create positions for 63 new federal judges - 51 in federal district courts and 12 in appeals courts. This proposal is nothing less than a sneaky equivalent of what President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried with his infamous court-packing power grab on the Supreme Court in 1937. The only slight difference is that this attempt is more under the radar.  [More]
   I was waiting for this, but thought it would come by splitting the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals, something the Bush Administration considered but, of course, did nothing after Democrats said Boo!  Feh, they'll prolly do that after ramming this one through, which thanks to the fraudulently elected Al Franken and the chicanery that allowed Dead Ted's successor to be appointed, they nominally have the guns to do.  But WTF, if we're going to have to rip this gummunt apart and restore the constitutional version, it means judges go with the rest.  Meant in the good, not bad, way.

Hugo Chavez has been doing a similar thing. Oh, he's a MFCSMPOS too--what a coincidence!

Speaking of Hugo Chavez, that's a picture of one of his assistants helping him by inducing regurgitation,during a colic attack, caused by one bowl too many, of black beans and rice.

Been trying to find out which indian tribe the Chavez belonged to, to no avail.
This (from WIKIPEDIA) is all I can find.

The Chávez family is Mestizo, that is, its ancestry is primarily Amerindian, Spanish and Afro-Venezuelan.

Wonder if Hugie will turn out to be an indian like Ward 'LeRoy' Churchill is an indian?
