Why doesn't someone ask Bush to define "frivolous lawsuit"?
Or ask him why he feels that Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is an inadequate safeguard.


I'd love to see the resulting blank expression and fumbling response.

2. Objection, Assumes Facts Not in Evidence
You're assuming Bush KNOWS what "frivolous" means. He probably sure knows what "lawsuit" means.

;-P

5. 'Course Rule 11 . . .
Scares the CRAP out of any lawyer who practices in federal court, since the judges use it to sanction lawyers so freely.

Bush's comment, like so many, takes no cognizance of Rule 11. It's not ABOUT truth. Truth is for the "reality based community."

6. LOL He would probably start muttering something........
and then in a loud clear voice resolutely state, "I don't know about you folks, but I love freedom" and then look around with an air of confidence and that smug monkey-boy look on his face that we all love.

9. exactly . His fall back line and that smugness....
that's the face that is unfortunately etched in my brain. I want it out! Out damn spot!! Please!! I only watched him a couple of times...I end up cursing and swearing and screaming at the TV. I got rid of the TV now I don't have to see him...unless DU is making a joke about him. There have been some pretty funny pictures here. I am so embarrassed that he goes around pretending to be my president. The shame!!!
