They denied due process of "Existing Law" already. The courts are not just judges anymore, they are the law makers and definers. They have supreme power over the Legislative and Executive Branches of Federal, State, County and City Gov't by fiat. What is true today does not, by any means, that they will not change in the future. How many laws have already been overturned by the "Almighty Judges" just this century? Unless the Executive and Legislative Branches of Gov't reign in this usurping of lawmaking which was delegated SOLEY to the Legislative Branch of Gov't, ALL of whom are elected BY THE PEOPLE, then this nation will be ruled by tyrannical judges. And depending upon which president is in office, will decide which kind of judiciary will rule the land. President Bush doesn't seem to care very much about his judicial appointments except to put them forward. He should use his powers as POTUS to stop a minority of senators from blocking his judicial nominees. If the Senate can usurp their laws, then president Bush should place his nominees into office by force if necessary, side stepping the U.S. Senate altogether. If the Senate can break Constitutional Law to get what they want, then President Bush should do the same UNTIL the Senate abides by the Constitution which states that the ENTIRE Senate shall vote up or down on ALL of his judicial appointments.
After that, Congress should burn the Constitution, right? This is getting more and more dangerous.
There is a reason that the legislative branch tends to roll over on its' back for the judicial branch: Nearly ALL of the members of the legislative branch (Federal and State) are members of the Bar. Lawyers. Once you pass the Bar exam, you become a lifelong member of the Bar.
This nation would do well if it would ban members of the Bar from any branch of the government other than judicial. Conflict of interest at the highest level, leads to the mess we've got today. The subtlety of incrementalism combined with backroom agreements have nearly sealed this nation's fate.
This case should be a real warning to the rest of the frogs in the pan: The temperature has been rising.
