Actually, Judge Land is a Republican who served in the State Senate for 5 years and in the assembly before that. He was appointed by President George H. W. Bush.

So what? What is your point?

Lindsey Graham is a "Republican" from South Carolina, Olympia Snowe is a "Republican" from Maine. Need I name more?

And who appointed O'Connor and Souter?

My point is that people are labeling him as "liberal" or "traitor" based only on this decision. Did anyone look at his voting record in the State Assembly and State Senate? Any of his other decisions on the bench?

From everything I've read, the facts of the decision are that Orly Taitz' behavior was deliberately and flamboyantly against court rules. Do you think it's conservative to approve that sort of behavior just because you approve her cause? Do you think it does Conservativism any good to have this sort of firing squad mentality just because you don't like the judge's ruling?

If someone was breaking into the Dept of Health records in Hawaii, would you bad mouth the police officer who arrested him?
