Too bad in a free country with free speech in a room full of citizens with walls plasterd with the Constitution and SUPREME COURT JUSTICES milling about NOT ONE CITIZEN STOOD UP AND ASKED TO SEE THE "Diversity & Sodomy clauses" of the Constitution.

Did they screen the audience and remove citizens with spines before the press conference?

The wishy washy old bitch should be heckeled whenever she makes a public appearance or she might think she made the right decision. We have to hold these "annointed justices" accountable.

I bet it was made from cheap, foreign steel and erected by illegal immigrants.

Is this a new beam incident or the same old beam incident?

To tell the truth, I can't work up a lot of warm sympathy for Street, Rendell, or Specter either.

The sodomy decision wasn't O'Connor's first and only legal atrocity. She was also responsible for the recent racist decision in the Michigan Law School matter. And she appears to have been the author of the most famous sentence in the Casey decision, in a section signed by O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter:

"At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."

In other words, everything is relative, and if you think killing babies is a Good Thing, more power to you!

Maybe but has anybody heckled the old bitty? Maybe the freepers could alienate her to retire to France with all the other old leftists.

In Philly? Are you nuts? The unions in Philly will beat the crap out of you for so much as criticizing Bill Clinton, much less trying to take their jobs away. In any case it's highly unlikely a high-profile job like the constitution center would risk (1) the bad publicity and (2) labor difficulties (read: violence) that would come with illegal labor being used on their site.

From the article:"...a screen bearing a reproduction of the signing of the Constitution was to have dropped, revealing a newer painting underneath, with some of the celebrity guests standing in the places of the Founding Fathers. "

An image of the present Supreme Court substituting its own thinking for that of our nation's Founders. Sounds like a liberal's dream quite deserving of divine retribution. These people have no shame.

It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that the same unions that have been systematically destroying Philadelphia's convention business are the same people responsible for this debacle.
