Maybe a lot of them aren't bothering to think. Maybe Ruth Bader Ginsburg is no longer in the habit of listening to arguments but only of watching William Rehnquist, and if he nods up and down she knows to vote "no," and if he shakes his head she knows to vote "yes." That might explain some of the lack of seriousness in the decisions. Local government can bulldoze Grandma's house because it's in the way of a future strip mall that will add more to the tax base? The Ten Commandments can appear on public land but not in a courthouse, but Moses, who received the Ten Commandments can appear in the frieze of the House but he'll be sandblasted off the Supreme Court? Or do I have that the other way around?
Brilliant!

(we should not hesitate to resolve the tension in favor of the Constitution's original meaning-Thomas)
Frist was comments were embarrassing, but not as distasteful as the Clintons sitting there waiting to be gushed over by Rev. Graham. The two most disgusting people ever. The just think they are something.
