16. Unlike the poll choices, your options are qualified.

3. Franken would write some pretty amusing opinions
therefore, I think he is the obvious choice.

4. Heh, I'd nominate Noam, but he'd decline on principle
He's an anarcho-syndicalist. He eschews concentrated decision-making structures such as the state. Concentrated power horrifies him.

8. On the Other Hand
Chomsky supports a stronger federal government in the US to counterbalance corporate power on the grounds that a weak central government leads to government by the rich instead of anarchism.

6. Other:
Noam Chomsky, because the GOP couldn't bare the thought.
Michael Moore, Associate Justice Michael Moore (the FReepers would kill themselves off)

How does "Associate Justice John Conyers" sound? I like it.

How about "Associate Justice Bill Clinton"? I like that too.

7. Chelsea Clinton
She is mid-20's and surely a good liberal mind.

14. I voted for Michael Moore, but Ted would do just as well.
The first justice would have to be to rub their face in it. :evilgrin:

12. None of the above...this is who I would nominate instead
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 06:08 PM by ...of J.Temperance


On Edit: SpongeBob Spongepants is at least as qualified as Mike Malloy, Cynthia McKinney, Dennis Kucinich or Michael Moore would be.

15. Michael Moore...they hate him SO much. OR Hillary. Mike Malloy.
What fun it would be to watch the repukes foam at the mouth over that! OR, maybe a famous porno star? How about Larry Flynt! Yeah! That's the ticket!

21. I would impeach every conservative judge on the federal bench
and replace them with progressive judges. Any judge that belongs to the Federalist Society will be labeled a terrorist and shipped to Guantanamo.

The dictatorial powers that Bush has taken for himself, can also be used to liquidate the rightwing.
