Everything would be just peachy if the bastards would stick to original intent.

Exactly! These guys act more like hack politicians than judges, and then they get mad when people treat them like hack politicians.
Judges feeling a little heat are they? GOOD! The bastards should be reminded every once in a while that we live in a Constitutional Republic and not an Elite Oligarchy as they vainly imagine for most of their days...
And somehow, I think it may be the Kelo decision that's really drawing the heat, although they won't mention that case because it cuts across political lines and pissed off everyone on both sides of the aisle.
Nice story... thanks for posting.
>> Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said Tuesday that rulings on difficult subjects like gay rights and the death penalty have left courts vulnerable to political attacks that are threatening judicial independence.
When Breyer and other leftists on the Court make political rulings they should expect political attacks. Further, the judiciary is not independent, but rather is controlled by ideologues like Breyer.
I would prefer the original meaning. Intent is very hard to determine sometimes, and the authors may not have revealed their real intent. The meaning of the words they used, at the time they used them, is what is really important, IMHO.
