Agreed and furthermore, how could you possibly not hate them and all they 'say' stand for?

Martin Garbus, Courting Disaster: The Supreme Court and the Unmaking of American Law (Times Books, 2002)
In his new book Courting Disaster, well-known New York attorney Martin Garbus offers a liberal's appraisal of the current Supreme Court. Not surprisingly, he is deeply dismayed.
Garbus's book is a polemic, albeit one that raises interesting questions about the process of constitutional adjudication. As such, it will appeal to those Court watchers who are interested in the relationship between law and society, and who desire a legal system reflective of liberal values.
Other readers, however, will be left wanting a more balanced consideration of the issues than Garbus provides.
An Acknowledgment of Bias Undermines Any Hope of Objectivity
Garbus, a veteran trial lawyer, makes his position unequivocally clear at the start of the book. Early in the first chapter, he proclaims, "I acknowledge my bias as to what the law is, and what our Constitution stands for." That bias, clearly, is a liberal one - and it inevitably shades Garbus's examination of the Justices and of the opinions they deliver
C-SPAN 1 and 2 are showing House and Senate voting. No C-SPAN 3 on Direct TV satellite. News channels are all on hurricane (old and new).
You are right about the Sharpie, Howlin. Even if it is an accurate picture, however, I DON'T CARE. Reuters is just being juvenile, like when they always tried to get Ashcroft framed by the topless statues.
onyx, thank you for referring me to the statement by Graham. That is excellent, and I'm sorry I couldn't hear it live.
Kate Stetson.....Mentor not just a teacher...Supported her...praised her....Decent, gentlemanly way, never strident,....Mentions parenthood/law firm associate...his support.
Already in session now, MM. Can you receive C-Span 3 online? That's how I'm watching.
Are the witnesses over with now and was Judge Roberts out of the room when the disgusting leftists read their garbage?
I wish I could find the excerpt I read earlier (Washington Post?). Their summary: Lindsey said Ginsberg had a heart.
Major witch alert!
I forgot.......Court TV!
OH, she's really CUTE. Our "Jack" is 10 years old, but still quite the stud. :)
Who is this *itch? Undermine women rights? Bet his lawyer wife would disagree.
Crimeny!! I've missed 2 days and it's been on CTV? Going there now...thank you!
Court TV cuts in and out -- sometimes in the middle of a sentence -- to commercials and commentary. Nancy Grace is on there now with Lindsey Graham.
Marcia Greenberger says Roberts fights against women's rights.
Roberts has given an exhibition of class, knowledge and competence the likes of which I have never seen before.
President Bush is no doubt proud and vindicated in his own mind he chose the right man for the job, and so should we also be. My only regret is the rest of the American public will not see every minute (and many not a single minute) of this magnificent demonstration of an American giant surrounded by Democrat Pygmys!
We all can only hope the next appointment is nearly as good. I think Roberts cannot be topped, but it may be close. There is a deep bench to pick from. But, Roberts has embodied the Gold Standard.
No, witnesses (partisans) are making the statements -- pro and con, and yes, I think he has wisely left the room. I hope so anyway.
This has been the rudest and most disrespectful hearing I have witnessed.
Who's Marcia Greenberger? Should I have heard of her?
Obviously she's got issues that shouldn't be discussed in public.
How long until the break is over. If it's goig to be a long time, I am switching to hurricane coverage!
Marcia Greenberger? Who is this haggard manly b*tch?
