SCOTUS Chief Justice - R.I.P.By-laws changed proposed for upcoming meeting
THe Chief has recently learned of some proposed by-laws changes for the SD GOP that would have the immediate effect of greatly reducing the possible participation in the state conventions.
This would be a HUGE bad move, unless what is desired is to freeze out grass-roots participation, and keep things neatly bundled up to be run by a would-be elite group. NOT the way to go!
If this were implemented, the Chief would seriously think about affiliating with the Whigs instead of the GOP, to get away from the RINOs once and for all!
H/T to Dakota War College for this one - he has a really great post that spells out the gory details at greater length, so if this catches your attention, go check it out....nothing to disagree with there as far as the Chief is concerned.
Disclosure Notice: The Chief is currently a precinct committeeman, and just completed two terms as GOP County Chair, and has been involved in GOP activity since Youth for Goldwater days. (Sheesh - thinking about THAT could start to make a guy feel a bit of the mileage!)
Tim Johnson and the mainstreamChief Justice Rehnquist dies of cancer
This is not a major surprise, since Justice Rehnquist's health problems had been known for some time.
Now there are two open seats on the court, with the new court term opening in October, it looks like the fireworks over SCOTUS appointments will really fire up now in the Senate. Donk filibuster(s)? Could be. Attempted Borking of nominees? The Chief would count on it - Donks are Donks, all their leadership knows any more is mind-numbing DUmmie rhetoric and tactics.
Another point: according to the Donks' logic on Judge Roberts replacing Justice O'COnnor, they CLAIMED that they wanted to see someone of similar ideological bent to maintian the current alignment of the court. Now that Rehnquist, a conservative has passed on, will they be willing to cheerfully accept a conservative replacement, to maintain that same balance? Hmmmm?
The Chief is willing to quess there's as much chance of this as there was for Billy Graham to be named Pope.
