I agree, but I also believe there are relatively few fair judges around these days. Also, isn't it true that our courts tend to be populated by those that either graduated in the lowest 10th percentile of their law school class or by those too lazy to practice law for a living? I have little-to-no confidence in our corrupt judiciary. Drastic reform is needed. Judicial immunity needs to be repealed so that judges must comply with the laws they impose upon the rest of us.
You do a lot of NEPA work?
No, it doesn't stand for what you think (I assume Nat'l envir. policy act). I'm from N. E. PA.
I totally agree with you on the need for judicial reform but we are sometimes pleasantly surprised. Remember election 2000 and how a lot of us thought certain judges, like Nikki Clark, would rule against W just because of party affiliation? It turned out the only partisan judges were the FL Supremes.
W has the best legal minds working for him. VRWC_minion has valid points but I do believe Bush will prevail in court. I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
Further, the Bush admin is handling this just right. Don't back down, send the appointee to the meeting, but don't turn it into a circus and take Mary Berry's bait by forcing Wilson out with Fed Marshalls. Let a court decide and then it is a legal decision not a partisan attack by the Bush administration. It takes the wind out of the sails of the Dem argument when they try to paint Bush/Republicans as anti civil rights.
