I'm becoming convinced that Republicans and their appointees are becoming beaten down by the din in the MSM with the tired tirade that "if you're not supportive of the EnvironMental Communutty's positions, you are a threat to the environment!"

If they themselves are not beaten down by this constant castigation, then the spouse is not too kind when he/she finds out why they're not being invited to all the in-crowd's cocktail parties by the dominate political class. Even judges are vulnerable to this "shunning!"

Even their indoctrinated children coming home from school are castigating them and IT HURTS!!!

I think they're just trying to keep peace in their own family for a little domestic tranquility since they rarely have to honestly explain their decisions and when they do they can make stuff up!!!

Since I pointed out that two of the three judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel were Republican appointed judges, maybe the underlying problem is neither the judges or the court.

Could the problem be the two judges based their decision on the law? Is this an instance where the court should not be maligned, but the legislative bodies that wrote and passed the law?

The court is the most obvious target of wrath over this case, but one must consider the judges, especially conservative judges, do not base their decisions on a whim, but written law.

What good will it serve to have the most conservative of presidents elected in 2008 to appoint judges, if Congress continues passing laws that bring harm to the nation?

I hope future posts concerning the 9th Circuit Court remind people that judges are expected to apply the law as written, and if doing so brings an unpopular decision, maybe ... JUST MAYBE, the real problem is not the court, but the written law. If this be the case, the rational approach to correcting the situation is not leveling the ire of people against the court. The rational approach is to seek a more responsible Congress that writes the laws the judges are to apply.

It’s too easy to malign the 9th Circuit Court. In this instance the court is the messenger, and the message the court delivered was given it by Congress. Shooting the messenger will not alter the message an iota.

It may serve the political purpose of some to bring attention to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but IF the problem is the law itself, such attention misdirects anger, and almost certainly assures the people deserving of scorn are not held accountable.

We got this Green BS from our sons until they got in high school. Then the youngest one spent 16 years in PravdaPortland and came back a little green.

The oldest son is more conservative than I am now, and the younger son continues to recover from his gang green infections.

Amazingly, my trophy wife, who can be a little liberal on some social issues, never bought the green lies, spins and green bs.
