i call spin here.

they were nominated by republicans but they had to be passed by a democratic controlled congress.

so only nominees who were approved by democrats were appointed to the SC.

Oh, there's spinning going on now, but not by whom you think.

As not to cloud one post with too many facts for you, I'll also quote the more of the passage from your rip and paste....

At least I give authors credit for rip and pastes in quotes, rather than to appear intellectual like you try to appear...here is one of the sources of your "Rip and Paste".

Seven of today's nine Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republican Presidents. Ages range from 57 (Thomas) to 85 (Stevens) ; four atttended Stanford; six attended Harvard. Six had been in private practice; seven were already federal judges.

Here is where you get some more of your post, word for word

hey, at least quote it, don't act like you wrote it.. Jeez!:rofl

I'm sorry Rip, did you actually have a reply to the facts presented?

I never claimed that there were "my" facts, but nice try at dodging.  Of course I had to dig those facts up from somewhere, jeez.  I mean if I didn't get them from somewhere you would have said I made them up, so thanks for validating that my facts are indeed correct.

To be honest I tried to use the quote function like you did, but I don't usually post from other sites as much as you do, so I didn't see the quote bar up there last night.  But thanks for pointing out the Robert's Rules of Posting.

I'm not trying to appear intellectual, although, when going up against you it's an easy accomplishment, so really, no big feat there.

Again, how about addressing the facts.

Yes good job on the facts, you get an F for trying to pass them off as your facts though.

In case you forgot, use the quote toggle when you post, its simple and easy to use, I'm confident you can figure it out.

I edited my post during your last attempt at intellectual sparring, so you'll see I've explained my error.

But Rip, seriously, what does that have to do with the facts as presented?  

Again, for the record, I appreciate the Robert's Rules of Posting critique.  Seriously, I do.  I would not want to give you an excuse not to answer directly in the future, plus, IF anyone could give advise on how to rip and paste, it is you.

As for your attempt to deflect, nice try.

The deflection was worth the time to expose your pantomime attitude of intellectuality though.  Your new name is String and Paste.

LOL...not bad Rip.

Although, you need to put down the Thesarus before your head explodes.

Now since you chastized me in your Boeing thread for not staying on topic, how about you get back on topic from your hijack and reconcile your statement with the facts that have been presented.

Or did you already admit to being wrong when you wrote:

Yes good job on the facts,

WooHoooo!!...I have now used the quote thingy button!  I must thank you for that Rip, and I am serious about, because I had never noticed that until this thread.

Anyway, I humbly accept your surrender!
