	You said: We have control over the house, senate and executive branches of government! You mean Republicans have control over the house, senate and executive branches of government. What makes you think that Republicans want a hard-core conservative judge on the USSC?  We certainly don't want more liberal activists, but I'm not sure we want Jerry Falwell sitting in black robes either. We want a person that will interpret the laws correctly, regardless of public opinion.

What we need is someone who is clear that their purogitve is simply to implement what congress has made law and to ensure that new congressional laws do not attempt to override the constitution.

I am not convinced that preventing perverts from applying for 'special pervert status' is strictly forbidden in the constitution. Frankly the notion of anyone applying for special status is unconstitutional. The only fault I can find with the law is that it's not broad enough.
