The court. The war.

Who cares?

Not so-called Conservative non-voters.

We had a chance to change the court for a generation over the next two years.

Conservative non-voters failed America and the Constitution.

Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote four columns this last week and mentions Jan Crawford's "Supreme Conflict" in them.

An interesting insight into a pretty secretive club. Kudos to the author for being able to gather some of the tidbits that made it interesting.

Well, it's interesting: on Thurs. some 40 of us from UD met for about 2 hours with Justice Thomas (this is the second time I've done so in the last two years). Both times he's said the same thing: "Those who write about the Court have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, and almost never have even read the decisions." He also said that he deplored the politicization of the confirmation process, and that it was all about abortion (duh).

But he said three or four times, "Don't believe ANYTHING you read about the Court." He said again that opinions are never, ever changed in oral arguments, and that he has never, ever seen an opinion change in the discussion among the justices, which, he says, is extremely brief. There is absolutely no "one-on-one" buttonholing, either.

"Supreme Conflict' The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court"

Just the fact that there is such a struggle going on should be a dire warning to all of us that our liberties are in grave danger.
