Either the tune changed or the key you were playing it in. You claimed politicos would listen to the money men regarding ED. My claim is that a groundswell will cause them to toss the money men over in a heartbeat. A gorundswell is a distinct possibility, especially if the President takes this opportunity to use the bully pulpit and advocate for conservative judges and justices. Think of it, "Ladies and Gentlemen this is the reason I've been trying to confirm judges who will adhere to a strict reading of the laws and the Constitution. What you've seen in the SCOTUS vis a vis property rights in CT is liberals on the court gone wild and what you've been seeing in Congress is liberals fillibustering the judges who will protect your private property rights."

You agree or disagree? :-}

You really don't get it, do you?

From President Bush's POV, this decision is Christmas in June. He is closely aligned with developers and access capitalists and the development lobby -- he personally participated in just such a deal as the New London taking.

This decision expunges, from his POV, the criticism he received in both 2000 and 2004 for his close prior association with such unpopular, cozy arrangments among developers, bagmen, and the Boys Downtown.

He is NOT going to nominate "conservative" judges, strict constructionists, or originalists.

He is going to nominate Rotary Club darlings, Hamiltonian Leviathan-worshippers, apologists for access capitalism, neo-McKinleyites. He is going to nominate Republican Chamber-of-Commerce homers, not "conservatives". Please try to get the picture here!

Remember the corrupt, machine judge in The Verdict, the one who used to be a "bagman for the boys downtown"? He was a Democratic version of what we're going to get on the Supreme Court. Cut and paste my words, engrave them in brass, and put them right in front of your monitor for easy future reference. That is what we are going to get from Manor Bush: go-along, get-along "Rotaripublican" judges.

And the first one is going to be very conspicuously chosen from among the illegal-alien community.
