"Coulter basically buy into the left-wing notion that only super-brains can run this country, when all the experiences of the last 50 years proves exactly the opposite - that the super-brains are a disaster and it's the alleged dumbsh**s like Reagan that change history."
perhaps you have missed the last 200 yrs - case law is very complex today with multiple areas having been ruled on ..why ask for less than the best conservative minds we have to sit on SCOTUS..the list of brilliant conservative jurists is long and any one of them could provide the brain power to combat liberal leftist on the courts, this lady is no Scalia.

this lady is no Scalia.

This lady isn't qualified to serve coffee and donuts to Scalia.

And the Constitution is still pretty simple.

I would hope she's no Scalia.

Scalia sided with the liberal majority in Gonzales. He found new and novel interpretations of the Necessary and Proper Clause that made him pass on a chance to under Wickard. He succumbed to temptation. He inserted a few non-legal arguments to justify his position, instead of sticking to the the Constitution. Thomas stayed true to the Constitution and his dissent was a thing of beauty compared to Scalia's convoluted concurrence.

But, hey, Thomas is the lightweight and Scalia is the brilliant scolar.

Case law was relatively simple until the Ivy League geniuses got a hold of it around 1940.

. . . case law is very complex today . . .

Yeah, but it doesn't have to be.

If Cliff-Notes are longer than the books they are supposed to summarize, then they'd be the most useless publications ever printed.
