For all the fuss conservatives are making about 1 judge nomination, I am stunned that there has been almost no reaction to the leaks coming out of this commission. Why can't we get conservatives to mobilize on this tax issue and get something great done that will rocket our economy forward for the next 50 years? Conservatives are nuts to think that getting their pick to the court will make a bit of difference. It's not like that will bring us back to constitutionally limited government any time soon. I'm all for getting good judges on the court, but to use Roe v. Wade as an example, the best outcome would be to overturn it, which will leave it to the states, most of which will still allow abortion. Compare that to the economic freedom something like the fair tax would bring us. That would bring about a more meaningful shift in power to the people that the court could give us in decades of decisions. I think that is where our conservative leaders fail us; they are not against government control, they just want to be the ones to weild it, making them only marginally better than the liberals. Support the fair tax, give the power to the people!
You'd be surprised to see the Comments being sent to the Tax Panel about their cop-out. The people "get it". The Panel doesn't.
Check this thread for a sample of actual postings covering only (part of) one days comments after the Panels pronouncements:

You'll see that there are plenty who are unhappy about it. And the Panel is so slow to post new Comments that their website is bogged down.
