I finally got around to reading your tagline. Puh-leeze.

If your brand of anti-intellectualism/philistinism becomes a foundational philosophy for conservatism, you can kiss conservatism good-bye.

Intellectuals aren't a problem for the Court. In fact, intellectuals are a practical necessity on the Court. The problem with the Court over the past 50 years hasn't been the influence of intellectuals, but rather the influence of liberal/socialist intellectuals. The most effective replacements for these people are not political hacks but conservative intellectuals.

What part of the old adage "fight fire with fire" don't you understand?

You have a point, I withdraw my tagline. ;7)

Save your breath bourbon.

You are trying to have an intelligent conversation with a guy who uses the word, "dude" in a sentence.
