Oh please. This country has been DONE as a federal republic for 50 years.

No bias in this article, though:

The court majority, led by moderate conservative Justice Anthony M. Kennedy [ROTF]

Contrast that with the staunch conservatives like Scalia and Thomas.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

I object to the very terms "liberal" and "conservative" as applied to the judiciary.

I honestly don't care what a judge's political preferences are--I would support a judge who is rabidly pro-legal-abortion, so long as he understands that it is a policy question for legislatures, not a legal question for the courts.

What, pray tell, is a moderate conservative and what defines Kennedy, in this case, as a moderate conservative? There are few Supreme cout decisions more radical than this.

Yes, do they refer to Souter as the "moderately liberal Souter" or to Ruth Bader Ginsberg as the "far left radical Ginsberg"...nope, but that's part of the lovely liberal bias in the standard media that the left swears up and down isn't there.
