Heeee's back! Ken Starr on CNN. |

Edited on Sun Feb-29-04 01:32 PM by Hamlette
Using Clinton's support of DOM act to show even a Dem supports the gay marriage amendment.
Yowza. Starr, of all people, using Clinton as the example. Enough to make you sick. (Wish someone had said: but didn't you think Clinton should have been impeached? They don't use him as you good example.)
On Wolf. CNN.
Haven't seen him since the impeachment. Wish he'd stay gone. His grim makes me sick.

certainly should know something about judicial activism...his judicially active US Supreme Court installed his guy in the WH - that's defined as "great" and "moral" since not only did they do that without any precedent, but they engaged a self-limiting clause such that it was not to be considered precedent. So if a Dem were in the same position, they wouldn't be forced to do the same thing again.
All for the 'good' of the country.
When it came to this business, however, judicial activism is 'bad'. Once again, it's not the politics - it's the utter hypocrisy. He must be getting ready to be nominated to some court somewhere...

3. DOMA isn't the same as Bush's gay marriage amendment |
|
Duh. They must be desperate if they're hauling Ken Starr out of mothballs.

of the leading question. When he doesn't get the answer he likes, he feigns outrage.
Wolf: "Did you really think that Al Gore won the election?"
Respondent: "Well, yes..."
Wolf: "Well, don't you think that you have to get past that kind of thinking for the good of the country?"
Resp.: "It's just that..."
Wolf: Sneer followed by dismissal..."86.483937% of Americans would disagree with you, and adjusted for patriotism factor 99.24646% would. How does THAT make you feel?
CNN at work.

4. How can Starr help their homophobic cause? He is a Negative. |
|
It has been such a relief NOT to see his pale, clammy face. Now I'm reminded "they're still out there."
Some are blatant like Starr (also Gingrich, on Rumsfeld's defense advisory board) and create pandemic nausea while others stay under the surface, causing itching and rash.
We're uneasy, almost ill with this crowd in power - when they parade their players out (like Starr) we remember why.
Ken Starr, icon for the Executive Bj...how can he help their homophobic cause?
Really, what comes to mind when you think of or see Starr? The blue dress? Cigars? Thong underwear? It's ridiculous!

8. Thank you...I appreciate it... |

We have ALWAYS been outraged. The major media has been pretending, and is pretending even now, that the large primary turnout is due to economic issues, or Iraq or anything which is expediently explained. What it goes to is the question of legitimacy, or lack thereof.

19. I call him the "Chief Semen Sleuth." |

I also apologize whenever my dog gets a little too enthusiastic about crotch sniffing by saying: "She thinks she's Ken Starr." This comment annoys some people.

12. Speaking of former President Bill Clinton |
|
has he voiced any opinion what so ever on his position on gay marriage? As a former President and Democrat spokesperson I am not getting alot of mileage out of him.

Isn't it amazing to you that you were given limitless power by Congress to investigate the sexual escapades of a President who has otherwise committed no crimes, but now apparently no one has the authority to question this President on matters such as lies leading to war and the obvious failures to act before 9/11?"

...how dare you suggest the media point out the hypocrisy of the right- that would not be "balanced". Better to just sit back and let them blame Clinton for everything.

15. Hmmm...more Federalist Society input |
|
Interesting. Might there be something more to this amendment (written with help from the Federalist Society's Robert Bork) than meets the eye?

18. The last two comments here (15 and 16) |

are exactly correct IMO. Starr is Bork but actually exponentially worse, as Scalia was exponentially worse. In the media-driven society, we rail against the first of anything: recall Judge Ginsberg (not Ginzburg) smoking marijuana - he was pilloried. After that, it became OK to smoke dope, since he had been sacrificed. The slope is not just slippery, it's greased. So if one guy like Bork comes along and is a 'strict Constitutionalist' and is rejected, then it becomes very permissible for the next guy who is of the same political stripe to be successful. The criteria for rejection only work once - sort of like the Borg on Star Trek (if you please forgive the illusion and the near-pun) - they learned to compensate for the weaponry used against it. It reminds me of the old armies who used to have a front line which threw themselves on the barbed wire. Then everyone else could run thru. The Right has done this all too successfully and they have a very long memory.
But I just don't think they're all that bright or creative and can be defeated by a well thought-out campaign.

20. I was at a convention for lawyers last year.... |
|
and Starr was one of the speakers and when it was his turn to speak me and a friend walk out in protest. Before we left we went near the stage and ask him not to speak!
