Other notable commie enviro-socialisms Tricky Dick also gave us include the National Environmental Policy Act, EPA, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Safe Drinking Water Act (proposed by Nixon!), and my personal favorite, the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

On the other hand, Cheney and Rumsfeld both got their start in his administration, so kind of a “one step forward, two steps back” thing.

It's really nice to hear Breyer speak. Enjoyable to listen to, obviously smart man. Wonderful that his appointment will probably not have much resistance.

On a darker note, I am seriously hoping and praying that another position will also open up .....soon enough that another nominee won't face serious opposition.. Won't say where I hope the vacancy will be.

If Clarence Thomas did anything illegal, we might be able to impeach him, and thus force him out, but at this point, we will probably need an overwhelming Democratic majority in the Senate to do that, either that or the offense is something extreme like murder, and the evidence is so overwhelming it can't be ignored. The latter is extremely unlikely through, so we may have no choice but to wait for him to die of natural causes or for him to feel like he's too old to keep working much longer.

I can think of 3 or 4 I'd love to replace. Maybe they can all infect each other with Covid.

I hope that you aren't hinting that certain Senators would block such an appointment in the interest of sacred bipartisan spirit.

If you don't Replace Clarence he would be the next chief Justice, if they go by seniority.

I don't think Moses wore a breastplate, but in Hollywood, all things are possible.

He was the original golden shower guy. I know Daniel will get that one, at least.
