Put Palin on the Supreme Court

The author of the new article leaves us on a surprise note, asserting Palin's "unyielding moral certainty".

Governor Palin has been lying at least since she was given a mike in the Lower 48.

Not one truth did she say about Obama in her convention speech, and it has continued on from there.

You lost me. Are you making an argument that she'd be good for the Justice system, or not?

Sarah Palin holds nothing but a bachelors degree in communications from the Univeristy of Idaho- the sixth college she attended in six years to earn a four-year degree. John McCain graudated at the bottom one percent of his class at the Naval Academy. What do they know?? It only took my husband and I 4 years each, maybe we should be president too!! We are one very stupid country if we elect these nuts!! The supreme court?? I can't even belive this is an argument>or discussion!! She is qualified to be a hockey and that's it!!

Shooting wolves from helicopters? Think about that image for a second eh? REALLY think about that image, and then look in the mirror and tell me you still subscribe to "compasionate conservatism."

The author of this article is being SARCASTIC. Re-read it and you will understand, if only from the line where she says, "someone who can put the "law" back into "scofflaw." A scofflaw is someone who doesn't respect the law, like Sarah Palin. The author's point is that the Supreme Court is full of extremely conservative, partisan men who only uphold the Constitution when they absolutely must because it is required by law. Sarah Palin has no trouble ignoring the Constitution because she is morally certain that her views are righteous. She has a direct channel to God, after all. See, I am being sarcastic also. Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court would be horrifying, but she would have a lot of company!

The point of this column is that if you (NOT me) elect McSame, women WILL lose their rights to their bodies.

McSame has made a statement criticizing Obama's health plan by asking if the American people really want a bureaucrat between their body and their health care provider. The biggest irony is that McSame wants to place a bureaucrat between a woman's reproductive organs and her physician.

Cannot you people understand that McSame wants to reduce our rights, not expand them, just as any Repub of the last twenty years does?

Just by way of clarifying things, a person does NOT have to be a lawyer -- much less a judge -- to be on the United States Supreme Court. Strange but true.

it is my understanding that mrs. palin does not have a juris doctor. aside from the fact that she has no legal experience, let alone any real expertise in constitutional law, she appears has a healthy lack of respect for the first amendment - mainly, the freedom of speech and the establishment clauses.
her insistance on teaching creationism - christian creationism - in public schools, as well as promoting christian religious freedoms in school demonstrate that she has no real understanding of the principles of the separation of church and state. I wonder if she would be so open to teach other religious ideologies' views on creationism? or whether she would endorse a muslim, buddahist, or hindu prayer group on school property while school is in session? and as for her reported attempts at banning books, this is more than likely a flagrant violation of the first amendment.
if mrs. palin, in the author's eyes, is qualified to serve as a supreme court justice, i guess anyone is.

Don't you at least need to be an attorney to be on the Supreme COurt!!! Talk about not enough experience how about another point where Palin falls short - not enough education!

haha "no fair arguing that sara palin isnt experienced enough"--try at all. she has hardly any executive experience and absolutely NO experience as a lawyer or judge. this is laughable

but she CAN see russia from her house, so its all good

Tell me this is a joke. Lie if necessary.

I made my comment before reading below.

Now I am very frightened by all the writers who thought this was a serious column. I was worried for our country before, now there is a chill running up my spine.

Are there no independent thinkers in the Repub ranks?

Unyielding moral certainty? Seems like that would not be a good thing for the highest court as it indicates a very closed mind. and that does not bode well for justice. She does not relate to me and I certainly do not relate to Sarah Palin and while I would be happy to have a woman in high office she will never be my choice. She is in no way comparable to Hillary Clinton and will be a serious setback to women. Her style of governence is to rid herself of all dissenters - gee I hope Todd alway makes her happy or he may find himself out....

Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court means a return to the 1950s when women had to use coat hangers or slide down bannisters to have an abortion after rape or incest. Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court means an end to the right of women to earn the same pay as men. Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court means that torture of suspects will become the modus operandi of the CIA and the FBI. It will mean less protection for all citizens under our Constitution after Sarah Palin allows it to be trampled upon. Did you ever read the novel " 1984'? They will have to rename it "2008"

That's why they call it the Supreme Court....you have to be a LAWYER first!!

Hey, if Palin is good for the Veep, she is qualifies to go anywhere, Supreme Court, DOJ, State Dept, etc. The Repubs will believe anything McSame says, and if he says Sarah is good enough, that is it!

We already have a multi-reasons not to vote for Obama. He has never taken a stance on either side of any issue. no morals, no accomplishments, etc, etc.... Most likley not even an American. In reality he is BLACK and WHITE, so if the vote was purely by race he should win easily.
