The Perfect Solution .... Gore for President, Edwards to the Supreme Court, ....

[Botany]

.... Bill Clinton to the U.N., Richardson as Sec. of State, Clark as Sec of Defense,
and Stephanie Miller as White House Spokesperson/fart sound effectsperson.


Tony Scalia would drown in his own bile having Edwards on the bench.

Hillary can be Senate Majority Leader or she can bake some cookies :rofl:

[Admiral Loinpresser]

1. Damn, you are good! n/t

[Botany]

4. Early polls show that 577% of all Americans want Hillary to make cookies.

I am still supporting Edwards ..... not unless Al jumps in.

[Mabus]

2. Have I ever told you that you are my fave?

I got you some chocolate.



:loveya:

[Botany]

5. u & me fancy dinner tonight?

[Mabus]

6. Wow!

I thought you'd never ask!


What time? And where should we (gulp) go after? ;)

[Botany]

7. only one place I know of that would be classy enough for you

[Mabus]

10. That's better than the last place you took me to

btw, I found a wig, a knife, an old fashioned dress and cheese sandwiches in my suitcase when I got home last time. Know anything about them?

[Demoiselle]

3. I love it. (eom)

[jgraz]

8. Rec for Hillary baking cookies

As soon as she gets the focus group results on Choc Chip vs Oatmeal Raisin...

[gimberly]

21. ...or sugar-coated somethings. n/t

[dogman]

9. And what of the Edwards' decisions that he would apologize for later?

Or would no apology be needed, since he would not be running for office?

[Bobbieo]

11. With guys like you on Hillary's team - who needs enemies?

She's not my favorite anyway, but neither are the other two!

[dogman]

12. When was I assigned to her team?

I could vote for any of the candidates from any tier. JRE just happens to be my least favorite.

[Colobo]

13. Where the heck is Obama at?

[Mabus]

14. Down the hall in the VP's office

as VP. It is part of the preparation for him taking over after Gore's two terms.


edited to add a verb.

[Prophet 451]

19. Perfect choice

My only concern with Obama right now is his lack of experiance. Two terms as VP makes up for that and grooms him for a Presidential run in 2016.

[Botany]

15. In the senate we need his voice, his vote, and his smarts.

He could build his legacy from there .... Chairman of some committee.

Or as Veep.

[kestrel91316]

16. I want Randi Rhodes as WH spokesperson. She won't take no BS.

[robinlynne]

17. I want to live in your country!

[IndyOp]

18. I hadn't seen this post until after I put together my own Dream Team...

[Prophet 451]

20. Good start but...

I'd try putting Hillary on the SCOTUS as well, her record as a lawyer is very good by all accounts. Bill's legendary charm would be a refreshing change at teh UN.

Also add:
- Obama as VP (makes up for his lack of experiance and positions him for a 2016 run perfectly)
- Kunich to Labour
- Fitz to AG

[Thothmes]

22. Agree up to a certain point

Just my opinion, I would prefer someone other than a professional ambulance chaser on the Supreme Court.

[Botany]

23. If you think John Edwards is "a professional ambulance chaser."

Then you do not know what good trial attorneys do .... they really
do help the little guy.

[Thothmes]

30. In my personal opinion

The best candidates for the Supreme Court are Judges with experience in Constitutional Law. Yes trial attorneys do help little guy. But, how broad and deep is their experience with Consitutional Law. Did Edwards plead cases before Federal courts where consititutional issues were at stake. I dont know.
As I said a private practice attorney is not my first choice for the Supreme Court.

[Botany]

31. Edwards is smart enough to read and understand the Constitution

That document is so well crafted and flexible enough that a good lawyer
should be able to applly it to case law.

BTW I think Edwards would be an outstanding Justice.

[cascadiance]

25. I think there's a better way to characterize Edwards than that...

I actually do think that he'd fit in some better slots like Secretary of Labor or something like that.

I really think that the first nomination for SCOTUS that the right wing would have a VERY hard time trying to argue against for qualifications purposes would be Erwin Chemerinsky! He's a GREAT constitutional scholar and someone that thinks like all of us. I think he probably dreams of ways to take down corporate personhood. And I think he'd like no better a means like this to slap Cal Irvine back in the face for hiring him, then firing him, then rehiring him again as head of their law school for "politics"!

24. You left our Joe Biden, he needs to be in our government

And I am an Edwards supporter.

[defendandprotect]

26. Notice we're down to one female on the SC now . . . doesn't get much mention --!!!

I'd like to see Anita Hill on the Supremes --

Actually, I think we need to impeach the Gang of 5 - for treason in election 2000 --

[shimmergal]

27. Not all the Gang of Five are still there.

Rehnquist is beyond the reach of any of us, and O'Connor, who appears to have had second thoughts when it was too late, is no longer on the Court. Can't impeach the two new guys for what they may have privately thought in 2000.

I'd say we ought to nominate new justices who'll drive those some of the righties up the wall. To the point where they resign 'cause their whole intellectual rationale is crumbling.

[defendandprotect]

28. Well, I'll settle for Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas . . ..

but I think we still have a Gang of 5, if you consider Alito and Roberts --

Do you think it really is "rationale" or simply the urge to be on the side of power -- ????

[rosesaylavee]

29. I like that line up except

I would switch the Bill's around. Bill C would smooth the waters a bit more effectively around the globe I think. And Bill R needs to get the international experience first and then he could maybe do that the second term.

And of course - Obama as VP.
