Bottom line.
You never heard of Laurence Tribe.
You can't even spell his name when it is there in your own link.
...not to appoint Sotomayor.
Liberal Legal Icon Laurence Tribe In Letter To Obama: Don't Appoint Sotomayor, She's A Bully
Bottom line? Don't nominate Sotomayor.
Being the Cons utional Scholar he is, Obama told Tribe to shut the up and get in the back seat.Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is, and her reputation for being something of a bully could well make her liberal impulses backfire and simply add to the fire power of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas wing of the Court on issues like those involved in the voting rights case argued last week and the le VII case of the New Haven firefighters argued earlier, issues on which Kennedy will probably vote with Roberts despite Souter’s influence but on which I don’t regard Kennedy as a lost cause for the decade or so that he is likely to remain on the Court.
Bottom line.

Bush v. Gore.
So, I didn't confirm the spelling while typing. BFD. And, you're right, he's not one of my heroes so, no, I wasn't familiar with the uncommon spelling of his name.
And you didn't read your own linked article where name was spelled correctly.
I read it. I just didn't bother to go back and confirm the spelling. What's your point?And you didn't read your own linked article where the correct spelling was.
I think it's a bigger story that 1) Tribe, a liberal icon on cons utional law tried to dissuade the President from appointing Sotomayor, 2) Obama ignored him, and 3) this letter ever saw the light of day.
But, you keep bleating about my misspelling. That's the story!
Back to ignore.
Spelling smack Chump? I'd expect that from say GGA, but you're better than that.And you didn't read your own linked article where name was spelled correctly.
No, he's not. I regret pulling him out of the ignore bin for that nonsense.
A President goes against the advice of a trusted advisor. So? What's the big deal?
.
It's the subject of his ing thread.
Then you won't see this sentence where I tell your stupid racist ass to go yourself.
Someone told yoni Tribe is an icon!
That's the story.
I'm curious what would happen if someone "ignored" everyone except WC, DarrinS, Crooks, and Yoni. I might try that for a day just to see what it's like.
yoni must not be very familiar with Presidential decisionmaking. Trusted advisors get left out in the cold for a lot of reasons.
*cough* Colin Powell *cough*
big news, Obama doesn't make public letters addressed to him from a trusted advisor about said advisor's opinion about a judicial nominee. Where's the transparency????!!!!!
"I don't like her, she's a bully" is a matter of national importance that defies confidentiality between admin. officials.
The focus of the letter is primarily endorsing Tribe's colleague Elena Kagan for a nomination. From the context of the letter, it appears that Tribe already knew of the President's intentions of nominating Sotomayor and was trying to make a case for Kagan. He wasn't alleging that Sotomayor was unqualified, but that her personality would alienate Anthony Kennedy, a crucial swing vote.
Chump can be petty, but getting names right matters.
(edits previous mentions of "Ms. Valles")
Why? Did you not know who he was?
And, isn't it ChumpDumper? Because getting names right matters.
Is abbreviation no longer halal?
You're calling Chump a misspelling?
And you're implicitly comparing an online avatar to a public servant. My alleged mistake and yours.
lol

Too lazy to cut and paste, it would appear.
(But not too lazy to spell it wrong.)
Or nitpick passers-by.
