In a time when both the extreme Right AND Left will happily restrict those individual liberties that they personally disagree with, and the "mushy middle" cares not as long as they get to watch "Survivor" this week, what chance does the Constitution have?

The Supreme Court, and to some extent lesser courts, have gathered to themselves the sole ability to say what it means. Thus, we are moving to a point in which only ideologues of either side will be considered for appointment.

Will all our liberties reside in the hands therefore of the most ideologically extreme among us? Both Right AND Left would strip from us essential liberties that "offend" them.

Personally, I would not wish to live in a Utopia designed by either Jerry Falwell OR Tom Daschle.
