Why is it that judges seem to choose the weirdest times to make these idiotic pronouncements???
The stupid "eminent domain" ruling comes down, just as President Bush is picking his first SCOTUS nominee...
Now, while the nominee is being grilled on Capitol Hill, two judges make outrageous and "activist" decisions...
I know one thing....I wish I could ask Roberts what he thinks of these two decisions today!
You know what he thinks, but he can't tell you.
Either he's a godsend or the son of Satan... face it.
Tx, who was your next pick Owen?

Yep. Now its Pledge of Allegiance and Partial-Birth Abortion. But don't forget last year and the Mass. Supremes with their *enlightened* decision on gay marriage, nor the SF Mayor defying the law nor the weird display of in-your-face *marriages*. They sure haven't forgotten how damaging the decisions of their rogue jurists have been to their political aspirations.
I say let them run wild - they are killing those who appointed them, and will eventually destroy themselves.
If Robert's is as bright as he seems to be, the timing of these judicial pronouncements during his confirmation hearings won't go unnoticed and should give him pause about the quality of rulings from lessor benches. He may invite judges just like this to pitch a ball of legal issue to SCOTUS and then knock the previous ruling out of the park. At least I hope so.
Actually the judicuary is making these kind of assinine decisions everyday. It just gets noticed more now.
