I believe this effort ought actually be labeled not as conservative or liberal, but as anti-statist, anti-tyranny The form that tyranny has taken here is judicial mostly; but our erstwhile political class benefits IMMENSELY, and they passed this thing in the first place begging that they didn't want to be thrown into that there briarpatch -- "OH PLEASE DON'T" -- and claimed the dastards made 'em do it, and besides "the SCOTUS will bail us out."

I know I am not the only one to think "we've been had."

Well said, and quite correct. Correct on all counts.

I was among those who said not to worry, that the SCOTUS would jettison this CFR idiocy just on the face of it. It's the First freakin' Amendment, I said. Boy, was I wrong! Like John said, the votes of the four scumbags came as no surprise, but when O'Connor joined them, it was a stunner. Now everybody figures O'Connor went senile since she used to (generally) have respect for the Constitution when she was younger.

At least we now know that it's a whole new ballgame and we certainly don't want this court ruling on anything else of any real Constitutional import. Presumably, people who may have been planning challenges to certain examples of judicial activism in the hope of restoring some Constitutional values are pulling back for the time being. I only hope it's not too late.
