One of at least two that they will have before GWB makes his exit fro the WH.
The serious nature of this appointment and the one or two more that will follow cannot be overstated. They will either perpetuate the current activism, thus destroying the Republic, or they will transform the Court into the originalist body it was intended to be, and preserve the nation for another generation.
This is for "all the marbles" and it will determine whether or not our children and grandchildren will live as a free people or kow-tow to a powerful elite.
The vocal, boistrous, intense, passionate, and unrelenting populist campaign for originalist judges began today. Be part of it, or begone.
If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
- Samuel Adams
I agree. A major reason I voted for Bush became obvious today.
I voted for President Bush to reshape the political philosophy of the current runaway SCOTUS. I have swallowed a lot of his nonconservative policies because I expected this day to come.
I pray that the upcoming judicial battle will lead to a solid conservative replacing Justice O'Connor. I wish her the best in her retirement, but her time to resign was overdue, IMHO.
I agree, the implications are enormous.
