Thanks for this thread I was just looking for a series to watch (AGAIN) the whole way through and West Wing just one the challenge over ST:TNG. I just hope I can get through the Mandy Episodes without hurling.

Joementum posted:I'm really curious what the 3rd Amendment implications were in the bill Babish is referencing in that clip. Not often that Congress treats into that territory. Every time I see that episode I wonder that too. The 3rd so rarely comes up.

Joementum posted:I sort of agree, though I think they shouldn't have bothered. I agree with you that Toby would have likely spilled the beans on a military space program, but he would have done it from the press podium and then accepted getting fired and prosecuted. He wouldn't have just sat in his office and hoped nobody noticed. That's my thought too. Toby is braver and more sure of his convictions than that.

TheBigBad posted:Dr. Hampton is doing fine. She continued to pull mid-six figures operating as a top end consultant on the beltway throughout the Bartlet administration until she married and had two children, a boy and a girl. She now resides comfortably in Connecticut where he son will eventually row crew and her daughter will go on to be an Olympic figure skater with a fascination with the term 'toe-pick'. Except for the fact that her father was lost in the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, her life has been excellent.

Diabolik900 posted:In reality, no, but in the West Wing universe maybe. The situation surrounding it was obviously unusual, but in the real world, I don't think it was really legally different from the times Reagan and George W. Bush temporarily handed power to their VPs while they underwent medical procedures. At the time he did not have a VP did he? Hadn't Hoynes resigned?

nagel posted:Yeah, I mean one of the funniest, if not the funniest, parts of the entire show if when they all resign when cj becomes chief of staff. I always thought that Bartlett wanting a list was his more formal way of saying gently caress YOU Leo, and that making him find his own replacement was a way to show him how serious he was about accepting his resignation. Then as things went on, he knew that CJ would be the best choice.

Low Desert Punk posted:Side note, I was almost positive they were going to make a plotline about CJ getting some kind of brain damage due to hitting her head on the ground, what with her being a little more aloof and silly in most of Season 2. I guess they just decided to write her differently? I don't think it is brain damage. Out of canon you can chalk it up to the actress getting more comfortable in a difficult role. In canon you can see her becoming more comfortable with the press, her job, and having a major life change in almost dying in an assassination attempt on her boss and later a murderous stalker who killed her love interest.
