Another Oops?: Rick Perry Misstates Number of Supreme Court Justices

LOL! Perry is becoming more and more like Michelle Bachmann every day. He’s a true “mimbo” (male bimbo). Thank god he’ll be back in Texas soon and won’t be bothering the rest of us anymore………..

And by the way, RICK, just calling someone an activist judge without one shred of evidence or proof is deceitful. The conservative judges on the Supreme Court overturned previous SC rulings and over a hundred years of lower court precedent when they ruled in favor of ‘Citizens United’. THAT is what an activist judge does…….

Eight Supreme court justices? OMG! He’s out! He probably also thinks there are 57 states in the Union for Gosh sakes.

LOL! Perry flubs something, and the Obama haters show up to crow about Obama’s gaffes. Talk about pathetic…………………

Conservatives are born liars. Perry just can’t control himself.

Sea; You should talk! I can tell by the “ABC story title” where you’ll be.

57 states: A misstatement IMMEDIATELY corrected by the man who made it; he was quite obviously well aware of how many states there actually ARE in the union. Contrast this with the parade of bozos you pitiable people are trying to defend, who quite obviously do NOT have the information at their fingertips or anywhere in the dim recesses of what passes for their “brains,” and your incessant need to bring up Obama’s gaffes makes the differences all the more palpable.
What we have here is a President who has made remarkably few- but, yes, a few- misstatements, which in their rarity only serve to highlight how actually well-informed, well-educated and incredibly intelligent he US; and a cavalcade of clowns seemingly on a MISSION to embarrass not only themselves but their party and, indeed, the entire nation they purport to wish to represent and LEAD, for god’s sake. Angels and ministers of grace, defend us. ( And I defy each and every one of the Republican candidates to name for me the source of that quote. If the Predident couldn’t, I don’t think it would be because he hadn’t ever been exposed to it. As for the rest of them, well, I wouldn’t put it past a few of them to have lobbied for its author’s banning from American schools for licentiousness. )

President Obama ignores maps, and calendars. The first night of Chanukah starts December 21, 2011, when one candle is lit.
I assume when this POTUS instead chooses December 8, 2011 and lights all eight candles for his photo op, he is probably ready to re-write history again by blaming the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 on Israel and Mossad, to explain why Hitler unexpectedly declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941, when Jews were also building illegal apartments inside their gated community in Warsaw, Poland.

Obama’s revisionist history has made the world a less safe place, especially if you are a Jew or Christian choosing to live anywhere in 47 sovereign nations with a Muslim majority.

Governor Rick Perry sometimes makes mistakes, but he knows how to read a calendar, and a map.

Obama on the other hand, is so smart that he raises the national debt to 14 trillion, $4/gallon gas prices and an unemployment rate that is the highest since the Great Depression. Posted by: ivan | December 9, 2011, 4:52 pm

LOL! If you’re going to slam Obama (wrongly, of course) for personally raising the National Debt, at least get the figure correct. It’s $15 trillion. And why do you think the the president caused gas to hit $4? (It’s $3.40 where I am). What did the president do to cause the price of gas to go up? Please, enlighten us. What law did he sign that caused this? And the highest unemployment rate in this country since the Great Depression occurred under Ronald Reagan. You really don’t know much about these things, do you Ivan? You need to find a better source for your “facts” than Rush and FOX……………

Ya see Right-Less “WHY” it is helpful to have a teleprompter? I say give him a pass on the number. These guys have a lot running through their heads and a mistake is bound to happen (although Perry seems to be doing them daily) BUT getting Justice Sotomayor”s name wrong while trying to slam her makes him look stupid.

Nutshell answer on Perry…He qualifies to be dog catcher and thats about it.

Murph, it’s not a gaffe, it’s GAP, a HUGE EMPTY HOLE in his head that is void of knowledge.

Thank God (I’m surprised you used the word “God”) Obama, the super genius is going back to
Chicago soon. POSTED BY: IVAN******************At least he can can say Department of
energy, unlike your idiot god.

I guess if we expect our president to be error free, we’ll surely have to get rid of Obama in 2012.

Sadly, you all have missed the true point here. It is not that Perry flubbed on the number of justices, or the name of Justice Sotomayor. It certainly is not whether President Obama has misspoke or taken liberties with the lighting of a menorah. It is that Rick Perry is so clueless on civics and the foundations laid forth in the Constitution. There is a reason that Supreme Court justices are “unaccountable”. That was intentionally laid out by the true geniuses who established our Constitution. Justices are to be above politics so as not to be influenced by anything other that the Constitution and their interpretation of it. This is so they can make the difficult decisions required of the bench without considering public opinion. Yes, they seem to get it wrong sometimes to some of us. But imagine if they were politically accountable – they would be as ineffectual and unwilling to act as Congress now is on the difficult, unpopular decisions that need to be made.

Rick Perry is a big joke

I know everyone loves to quote the “57 States” gaffe by Obama, but I’m almost positive that what he was trying to say was 57 states and “other political subdivisions”, i.e. the 50 states, Washington DC, and the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, The United States Virgin Islands, and The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. That makes 56…trying to figure out the 57th.

November 29th, Perry said, into a microphone, “Those who are going to be over 21 on November 12th, I ask for your support. Those who won’t be, just work hard. Because you’re… counting on us.” Doesn’t he want the support of the 18, 19, and 20 year old voters?

Liberal pundits are out claiming that Rick Perry doesn’t know the number of US Supreme Court justices based on the following out of context quote. “For Washington to tell a local school district that you cannot have prayer and a time of prayer in school is, I think, offensive to most Americans,” Perry said. “I trust the people of the states to make those decisions. I trust those independent school districts to make those decisions better than eight unelected, and frankly unaccountable judges.” Actually he is correct and they are wrong. The decision that set aside school prayer was decided by 8 members of the court as Justice Byron White did not participate in the case. That case was Engel v Vitale 1962 and the decision was 6-1 as Justice Felix Frankfurter participated in most deliberations but failed to vote due to incapacitation.

How can it be that you all think this is news? WHY is this worth reporting yet OBAMA gets a free pass on SOLENDRA SCANDAL that involves millions of our Tax Money, Or the Gun Sales to Mexico that leave an Agent dead is still running free to run with Obama? HOW is this news and that is ignored? We Americans are starting to see a pattern here with the News , Honest reporting is it a thing of the past? IS Obama the only one who can do no wrong or is he paying you so much you just want to report every step a candidate makes to make him look bad in whose eyes? IT Worked with CAIN it wont work with Perry, We are sick of it!!!!! STOP REPORTING THIS CRAP.

Clearly, if you just parrot “57 states” every single time your candidates flub up, it cancels out.
