Seems like it was just a bit of misspeak, but wtf, she's a freakin judge, she shouldn't be misspeaking at all. I'm a little concerned about the case with the firemen thats pending in the Supreme Court. If that gets overturned I think that will damage her a bit, but with 60 dem votes in the Senate it doesn't really matter. |

I don't like her because of her decisions she made in a case involving Major League Baseball. |

Her credentials are among the most sterling of all the Supreme Court judges and the most "kind of establishment" credentials (courts at several levels). I don't understand why anyone would consider her unqualified, or why they would consider her an unwise choice. |

Fuck her then. That decision was as much horseshit as Reagan firing all the airline workers. |

Now that I'm home, let me add more. There are some that thought she did the right thing, and some said she really put a burden on the players by what she did. But I don't. |

All I heard of at the time was Cal Ripken's streak coming to an end. I REALLY want to say that was actually brought up in the court, but I don't remember for sure. |

She believes that she should make law and NOT interpret the constitutionality of a law. That's scary as Hell! |

If the govt is going to take that much interest in something they shouldn't let it get that far. |

I get enough of that shit at home. I will bet that she thinks that she is right about everything too. I wonder if she can make some kick ass huevos rancheros.... |

I know, but when you take away a union's ability to strike then you have effectively dissolved that union. That doesn't sound legal either. |

| Post subject: | Re: Obama's Pick for the Supreme Court |
The law was passed in the 50's and it was upheld by the SC in reference to the ATC strike. That makes it legal. Going on strike is far from the only tool that unions have in getting what they want. The primary purpose of a union is for collective bargaining, not the threat of strikes. Taking away the ability to strike doesn't mean the union has no purpose. |

Striking is not the only weapon unions have in their arsenal, but it's their most powerful one. You gotta admit they're pretty neutered without that option. And that ruling from the Court surprises me. Must've been a bunch of Nixon/Ford appointees at the time. |
