I did see FNS. I broke my habit of skipping the propoganda shows this week.
We had freaking Anthony Kennedy chomping at the bit to overturn this thing and we still couldn’t get it done. All thanks to Mr. Souter II.
And now it sounds like Souter II has lost Kennedy...permanently. The rift in that relationship will make things difficult until AMK retires, which I’m now willing to bet will be next year, if Romney is elected. And while I’m not the biggest AMK fan, I fear we’ll lose a libertarian-conservative (anti-Kelo, Citizens United, Heller, anti ACA, etc.) with a statist one.
Kennedy is not Souter, he is not a liberal. he is a venial man concerned about how he appears in the media, and he wants to be liked. one of Sen Grassley’s primary questions of nominees to the Sup ct is DO YOU CARE WHAT THE PAPERS SAY ABOUT YOU? i don’t know what Roberts said, but i will tell you that Justice Thomas laughed out loud when he was asked.
