What I lack in consanguinity with Mr. Sowell is made up by our congruence on all things political and generational.
Liberals prey on the ignorant.
Sowell, right on as usual.
Using confusing langauge is on the TOP TEN LIST OF TACTICS LIBERALS USE TO WIN ON ISSUES THEY WOULD OTHERWISE LOSE.
This is the problem with the Left. They're so mired in deconstructionist stupidities that they've made the Constitution meaningless.
One gets the impression, however, that if the "author's intent" of Roe V. Wade was deconstructed by the Right, the Left would howl in protest. After all, the only laws that are a matter of mere linguistic "interpretation" are the laws liberals don't like. The rest? Why, they're the "settled law of the land."

BUMP
The Liberals are again making tactical mistakes.
It is universally acknowledges there are certain issues perceived as strengths (rightly or wrongly) by the American people as due to each party.
Ex. No matter what a Republican does, Democrats by default are given props for health care. Ex. No matter what a Democrat does Republicans are given props for national security. These are default strengths.
They can be narrowed, but it's rare you equal or trump the perception of these strengths. It would take years for the Republicans, with a unified cohesive plan, to overtake the Liberals strength on healthcare if they desired to do so. Ditto the Dems. Rhetoric will not change the perception, expecially when that rhetoric centers around withdrawl from conflict.
The Dems have chosen to engage the Republicans on their strengths for two election cycles. They've dented Republicans but have not been able to overtake. So what do they do? Instead of focusing on positions where the public would give them default trust, they keep centering on our strengths in pigheaded belief they can beat the public down enough to give the the edge. Maybe they can, but it will take longer than two terms of a Republican Presidency to do this. In the meantime they'll lose more power, becoming irrelevant. They are digging a hole it will take generations to climb out of.
If the Libs want to focus on the WOT and Judiciary, I welcome them to do so since it'll benefit us. It just goes to show the Dems' braintrust no longer resides in their leadership.
Sowell does a good job here shining the light on one of the many areas the left is using their underhanded tactics to destroy what's good, for their own political gain. Up is down, black is white, right is wrong, etc. etc. They try to do it with nearly everything, but in this case, it is our very own Constitution.
Not to long ago, Walter Williams was filling in for El Rushbo, and had Sowell on the phone for a couple of segments. It was a great pleasure to hear these two laughing at and poking holes in the "logic" of the left.
Senator Leahy is a joke. I believe he has Alzheimers, but will not leave office except in a pine box feet first.
If I were Roberts, I would be struggling to NOT laugh in some of these guys' faces, especially someone like Leahy.
He has no clothes and deserves minimal respect, only as an office holder, not as a gentleman (because he is not one) and not for an intellect (because he has none).
He is the same as Kennedy, a liberal socialist Democrat HangerOn.
Bwhahahahahaha!!! what an absolute nut bag!!! The worst part is that they'll be whole new breed of stupidity generated by the left to regurgitate this poo.
