    Thanks, all2fun. It will be interesting to see if Obama can bring some real diversity to the Supremes.

    FTA:

    Interestingly, Barack Obama seems to have a strong sense of all this. Indeed, Obama himself is an example of someone who took the road less traveled: After being president of the Harvard Law Review, he didn’t take a judicial clerkship or a job with a fancy law firm.

    Instead, he went into politics—first as a community organizer, then in the Illinois state legislature. He wrote nonacademic books. He turned down a tenured position at the University of Chicago Law School.

      "he didn’t take a judicial clerkship or a job with a fancy law firm". You're right. He didn't get a real job and actually learn a career. He became a political activist and a member of Acorn. The term community organizer is a sanitized term for what he really did during his time in Chicago.

        Those tired smears were discounted long ago:

          Fight the smears is little more than a Soros front group.

          I live in Milwaukee where we have huge numbers of Chicago bases Acorn actions that are clear violations of voter laws. But our entire justice system is in the hands of the DNC. The police department had a team following up on the violations. That entire unit was done away with because it showed a direct link with the DNC which happens to be the party of the DA and mayor.

              Huffington is also huge well mainly her butt.... But seriously, she's about as biased as Rush or Hannity. I don't quote them here because they're entertainers. Her site is little more than DNC blah, blah, blah.

              There is no right wing left in Wisconsin. At the current run of the DNC governor, Mayor, Senate and legislature, we will be the highest taxes state in the nation. Add to that, we've also asked for a huge portion of the stimulus. So trust me Wisconsin is a great example of the "socialist" paradise President Obama wants. High taxes, no jobs and a huge portion of the population on welfare.

                Seems to me you don't quote anyone here to support your claims.
