Sen. Clinton Questions Supreme Court

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that Supreme Court victories this year for gay couples, minorities and women do not erase the distrust created by other "legally dubious" rulings, including the Bush v. Gore presidential election case.

The court ruled this summer that colleges may continue to use race as a factor in picking students, that gay men and women cannot be prosecuted for having sex and that state government workers are protected under a federal law intended to ease work and family conflicts.

The rulings angered conservatives and were opposed by some of the court's most conservative members.

She said this is "the same court that gave us Bush v. Gore, which made a mockery of one of our most cherished constitutional rights, the right to vote," a reference to the 2000 ruling that ended Democrat Al Gore's chances of winning the White House.

10. I hate to disagree but I have to say Kucinich has balls of steel

I am not pro-Kucinich since I have not decided who I prefer, but I have followed his actions since the coup started and he has always spoken out against this evil administration. He and Waxman and Byrd have done more than anyone else.

3. Shoot! Now they will never appoint her as President.

Maybe she's schoozing in the back room. I love Hillary but I would like to see a President with a clear mind on the Israel issue.

13. I would like to see a President with a clear mind on the Israel issue

That would be Liberman. Others in the pipeline could learn from his vision.

I say, Hillary for Chief Justice!!

She's one amazing Senator!

So much in fact, she scares the he-- out of her rivals.

9. YES YES YES ALMOST MAKES UP FOR HER SUPPORT FOR WAL-MART!

Hilary was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart.

BUSH v. GORE: bring it on! BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION!
