things have gotten a bit trickier now as bush has nominated john roberts as chief justice. i would think that the justices, all of whom have more judicial experience than roberts, would take this as a slap in the face, like a freshman getting a starting job over a returning senior. it is elevation of an associate justice, though, that is the exception; only three justices--white, stone, and rehnquist--were made chief after serving as an associate. |
my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour. links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias: the fair & balanced: the left: the right: *that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.    |
