Farah might also have mentioned how Jerry Falwell and Howard Phillips warned him about O'Connor, but Reagan wasn't listening.

*****The truth? He was either the most incompetent prosecutor in the history of the country or complicit in the cover-up of those crimes. I lean toward the latter judgment.*****

I have stated this same thing about Ken Starr many times, I have been called crazy because of it , but I still say the appointment of Ken Starr to investigate Bill Clinton was an inside job.

This article is wrong with respect to Justice O'Connor's specific career on the Supreme Court. She was not consistently bad from the beginning. To the contrary, she began by generally voting to respect and enforce the Constitution.

It was only late in her career that O'Connor began savaging the Constitution frequently, and went over to the dark side in championing the use of foreign laws and court decisions to "interpret" the US Constitution.

Farah obviously has a burr under his saddle about Kenneth Starr. I won't comment on that side of his article. However, in his description of O'Connor, Farah is wrong, for reasons I described this week.

Reagan's big mistake there was he wanted to nominate a woman at all costs.

Starr and O'Connor are two people who have done much more to harm this country than help it.

Wow. Heck of a legacy for these two.

World Net Daily, one small step above the National Enquirer. Geez, now it's all Ken Starr's fault. Who knew he was that smart and that powerful? And I wouldn't take any advice from Jerry Falwell either; good for Reagan.
