[Scenic Sounds]

I'm not in the least bit surprised that Governor Bush felt bound by the court's orders. Traditionally, our politicians scream and yell and hint that they may not comply with court's orders, but in the end we can usually count on compliance. Truman gave back the steel mill he seized; public schools were integrated; Nixon turned over the tapes, etc., etc.

"Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question." - Alexis de Tocqueville (1838) Rightly or wrongly, it's just the way we've ordinarily done things in this country.

When there exists a conflict between the branches of government, the initial question is always "Who decides?" And, if the question is asked of a court, the court's answer is usually pretty predictable.

But the question of "who decides" really begs the question. That's why we always hear, "Wait a minute - who decides who decides?" LOL. And that's just one of the reasons that this is such an interesting place to live. ;-)
