3. I have a question
I haven't kept up with this story very well. We have a small baby who has taken most of my spare time so I haven't been able to keep up with things as well as I did in the past.

As I understand it, shrub fired several Judges who were appointed by President Clinton. His motive was purely political.
When President Clinton took office, didn't he remove a lot of Judges who were appointed by RR and bush1? I've heard President Clinton removed all the Judges that were appointed by rr and b1, but I don't how reliable that info is. From the same source...removing Judges appointed by previous Presidents is a common practice. I'm not sure about that either.

If removing or firing Judges who were appointed by previous Presidents is a common practice, IMO it would almost always be for political reasons.

If we condemn this, does that mean when we retake the White House our President won't be able to remove all the rad right Judges shrub has appointed?

I'm probably over simplifying the whole thing, maybe someone can explain it better.
