[whistles and backs out of this thread]

I guess this is one of those "I have no clue what this is about" threads.  Shows how much I know about politics/current events.

David Souter is a Supreme Court Justice. He is considered to be a "leftist" at this point in time. He was nominated by the elder Bush and was definitely thought to be a conservative initially. This flier is one that NOW used to campaign against him.

Not sure if Smitty is alluding Alito is really a liberal under his cloak though.

See ... this is why you just don't talk politics and religion amongst friends!

For the record ... I don't get it either. Undecided

Souter was considered a huge threat to Rowe V. Wade.  The common thought / fear was that his confirmation would send women back to the dark alleys, hotel rooms and (forgive me) wire coat hangers for abortions = when abortion was illegal and women put their lives at risk to have it done.

The point being that Souter turned out to be a basic none threat to Rowe V. Wade...and Alito would be as well.

I believe that is the point of the thread.

I'm sure that was the point of Arlen Specter showing that flyer.  I'm not sure if that's why Smitty chose to post this.  Not everyone on this MB has Maine's historical insight   Tongue

No, Thomas lives on the island of Sodor.

Sorry Maine, the "eyes rolling" were meant for Smitty.  I think your "insight" was right on the money. 

Changed to  Tongue  I like that face better.
