'Even if he isn’t a Clinton appointee, he’s still a *DEMOCRAT* appointee....'

[PBS Poll-435]

On a very hardcore "birther" thread regarding Judge Clay Land's TRO denial/dismissal of the latest chapter in the misadventures of Orly Taitz...

It is my *UNDERSTANDING* that he is a *CLINTON* appointee.

Even if he isn’t a Clinton appointee, he’s still a *DEMOCRAT* appointee. Bush could only *NOMINATE* judges for Senate *APPROVAL*. At that time there was a Dem *MAJORITY* in the Senate.

Edited to add link to thread and to add this: :rofl:

[Ian David]

1. Bush appointee and former Republican State Senator. n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

2. A crystal-clear example of Colbert's "reality has a liberal bias" statement...

:rofl:

[Duke Newcombe]

3. You can never win with a bigot.

Reminds me of the hilariously true MAD magazine strip with the same name.

[robo50]

4. We know where we can find the dumbest Americans..

at Free Republic.
That thread has MANY people, however, who are beginning to challenge birthers with the facts, (like who appointed this judge)

But birthers will never abandon their racism.

[treestar]

5. that's certainly an interesting way of looking at it.

:rofl:

7. It's mind-bottling

"You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?"

[Ikonoklast]

6. Using that logic, Obama is a Republican because the Chief Justice

of the SC who swore him in, is a Republican.

Damn, the complete and total lack of logical thinking is painful.

8. BWAAHAAHAHA!

Those Freepers, I tell ya!

:hi:

:rofl:

9. But it really turns out for the best.

Because...

Any appointment that Clinton made after January 1995 until January 2001 are actually *REPUBLICAN* appointments since Clinton just nominated them and the Senate had to approve.

My friggin' head hurts after witnessing the mental gymnastics going on over there.
