I think this makes clear most of my political beliefs, right??

The only problem is that I think there are only 4 questions on each and therefore every question counts for 25% of your score on that matter. I didn't think that all of the questions were fair. Obviously we should execute repeat child molesters, but they didn't ask me that question. And I don't believe that either of the Social Security solutions they offered would solve jack squat!
I assume by now that everybody has heard about the Supreme Court Nominee, John Roberts, and will be joining the Supremes in a remake of Baby Love. The Senate, of course, will have the final decision on whether Roberts has the adequate qualifications to join the Supremes and, while they aren't replacing the leaving Supreme with a woman, he will probably complete the bass line nicely. Please look for this to be played (after confirmation) on your radio dial!! I am sure it will be a hit.
Seriously though, it should be interesting to see how the Supreme Court Nomination Confirmations play out. I am hoping it won't be too much of a fiasco and while I would've preferred to see another woman nominated I believe, from the very little I have read and heard, that Roberts at least has the qualifications to sit on the bench. Most likely many wish that Bush had nominated a more moderate candidate, though Roberts is a moderate conservative, but that's the reason the President gets to nominate. Clinton put a NAACP member on the bench and Justice Ginsberg had strong qualifications, and she also refused to answer 36 questions posed to her by the Senate confirmation committee. I have to admit I am surprised that Sandra Day O'Connor resigned, as she is a moderate, but I suppose she wasn't originally nominated as a moderate - she was supposed to be very conservative and has ended up being the most level headed.
I'll stop blabbing now about current events, but out of curiousity I wonder how many people know (without looking it up) how many Justices are on the Supreme Court and how many names they know? I'll admit that when this started I knew the number of Justices and I knew about 3-4 names.
