This is a loss for Constitutionalism on the Federal Courts. Apparently, he isn't going to serve on theU.S. Supreme Court. What a shame.

No doubt all Freepers wish him well.

This Freeper is glad he is off the bench. His Padilla decision was too much for me.

I hear that a lot. And hey, after all, when you've got the right people calling the shots, who needs the Rule of Law? It just gets in the way.
