This guy has made jokes about Jewish folks and is a fool. How can someone like this be a senator. Oh, that's right they allowed convicted felons vote for him when they are not allow to have this right.
Texans have a lot of nerve complaining about minnesota politics. Weenie Perry who would be king of tejas, and his gang of oyl men of entollerance to environment, continue to dummy down the education of their youth, allow judge roy bean lawmaking, incarcerate as many people of color as humanly possible, to the point of dickycheneys private prison system money making scheme. Oh the list is just too long on corruption in texas. Underestimate the brain of Al Franken, just shows how bloody stupid people really are. Cheers for the Winner.
Jeers to pawlenty and his gang of rainbow boys of minnehaha falls.
Sen Franken has a BA from Harvard in Mathematics, and a Masters from MIT. So he did comedy we as a nation elected a B Movie actor twice, who was upstaged by a chimp
Just as Franken was a comedy writer for SNL, someone must be a legal question writer for him. But whereas a comedian knows how to handle a joke, he doesn't know how to ask a legal question and allow for the answer.
I recently was driving north of Sioux FAlls, SD. I turned right and went east about 30 miles until I was in Minnesota. I got out and urinated on the side of the road. I just wanted to p*ss on the state that p*ssed on the rest of the nation by electing Al Franken.
Oh, come on. Most of these confirmation hearings are simply about giving the senators time to pontificate. What else do you call Sessions' prattle? Franken was doing the same thing the others do--using his question time to score points. They already know about Kagen from the FBI investigation, and the already know, that like every other nomiinee, she will avoid giving any specifics about judicial philosophy and commit no more perjury than activists like Roberts and Alito did when they talked about judicial modesty and judges just calling balls and strikes.
Jan I listened to the entire hearing and you are picking on Franken?.. and not on anyone else... there were so many interruptions let alone grand standing by the republicans that was so rude. What gives here.. as a journalist.. if you bring the issue up you know you should at least be fair. What was your point? I'd like to hear what you have to say about someone else too.. like say Sessions? You are reporting on one question that Franken asked and not on how many times one question was asked over and over trying to get a different answer on the Harvard military decision. Talk about wasting time. Come on now Jan I find you article silly.
I got the distinct impression that Franken did not really understand the issues concerning statutory interpretation. At first, it did not seem to occur to him that a judge might find the text of a statute clear, and therefore not delve into the legislative history. Fortunately for him, Kagan was very diplomatic in the way she explained it to him.
I have no idea what he is doing on the Judiciary Committee. He is an embarrassment.
HI! I'm AL FRANKEN. Because he's Al Franken and he is qualified to draw. Hey can I get a recount of those votes please even though I don't live in that state?
Don't you people get it? He asked her an important question, so important that she blew off supportive cloaks of indifference and answered the question. What is important is she sees Scalia for what he is, as revisionist; one who has gone back reopened finished decsions of the court and reversed MAJOR court decisions for his party's favor, and Kagan recognizes the importance of precedence and seems to realize Scalia's injustice in doing so.
It is time to revise the constitution, to place if not term limits on congressional members, to at least require tri-anual tests of cognizance to assure the public their representatives are not zombies and have become reduced to a face of a machine like Senator Byrd.
The Supreme Court has obviously taken a political note and the judges politics are swaying decisions in most obvious ways. IT is time to impose term limits on the Supreme Court, not only to address competence but to also address the increased longevity of the American population. Of all courts, the Supreme Court should have judges aware of the now and not the then (past). The Supreme Court has become the most important legislative branch and yet is has no over sight, and is an entity upon its own, sort of like the Supreme Leader of the Iranian government.

That will be fair, for 'in-advance' representation, given the demographic rates of change, ethnic population growth, etc.
The remaining traditional American Supreme Court Justice, should symbolically represent America of a past era.

On the issue of the SC becoming more important, it is only because the legislature has become so worthless and corrupt.
