I once upon a time had some confidence in this Court, at least for a 6-3 or 5-4 on Constitutional principles when the chips were down. No more. They have completely gone off their reservation and are wandering around in the wilderness, carelessly flinging burning brands.
One can only hope the Court takes it easy the coming year with a light caseload. We can also hope George Bush comes up with a way to get Justices approved - past the succcessful, wretched antics of the Schumers, Leahys and clintons of our Most Dishonorable Senate. So far, signing budget-busting Education Bills and naming buildings for Bobby Kennedy hasn't done the trick.
A pox on all their miserable, elitist heads!
I echo those sentiments. The glass is half full part of me thinks that Scalia wouldn't recuse himself from the Pledge of Allegiance case unless he knew a reversal was in store, but the wiser part tells me he did it because of his integrity, and that too may contribute to the next big disappointment from what can fairly be considered the biggest Kangaroo court north of Tallahassee.
