I don't want a 2nd vote for Roberts. I want a smart person who can reason his/her way into doing the right thing and hold his/her own.There's entirely too much "reasoning" going on these days. Too much "creative thinking".
We need a back-to-basics approach to the law. Simple, pure-hearted people like Meirs, guided by strong conservative intellects like Roberts, will get us out of the rut that all our legal geniuses have dug us into.
Bush is brilliant.
Great response. It really doesn't take all THAT much intelligence to decipher the constitution and apply what it actually says. It DOES take a lot of "intelligence" to warp it into purported emanations and penumbras.
I didn't attend an elite law school (University of North Carolina) but I did learn enough to know that too many supposedly intelligent elitists try to hide the ball through intentionally complicated language so as to try to enhance their own image and camouflage their bending of the law to suit their own ends.
I continue to be concerned at the vitriol leveled at President Bush and Harriet Miers. Even if you disagree, man are you guys rough on them!
