Dancing? It's Good for the Constitution. (Imperial Judiciary Alert!)

U.S. District Judge Louis Oberdorfer drove the point home. None of it matters unless people take action, he told them. "If you do it right, you people here will become law clerks and the law clerks will become judges and the assistant secretaries and you'll run the world."

Seven minutes after stepping on the floor, Reno makes her exit, wondering about all the fuss. "Especially because I'm such a terrible dancer," she says. But she's ready to do just about anything to energize young people about protecting America's laws.

Really? How about leaping into a mosh pit, Janet?

You won't?

Somehow, I didn't think you would.

[This is what you do when you are a liberal legal heavy hitter like those gathered over the weekend for the first national convention of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, a law group that says it's dedicated to protecting the Constitution from conservatives. U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke. So did Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And then there was Reno and her Dance Party on Saturday night.]

Goebbels couldn't carry Hitlery!'s jockstrap.

[Started in 1999 under another name, the Constitution Society says it's trying to raise an army to challenge what it calls the dominance of conservative thought over U.S. courthouse decisions.]

Probably, the other name was the "Anti-Constitutional Society". Anyway, Conservatives = narrow (literal) interpretation of tthe Constitution. Liberals = broad ("living document" = whatever they want it to say) interpretation of the Constitution. Seems to me, Conservatives are the rightful heirs of the moniker "The Constitution Society".

"What a perversion of the natural order of things! to make power the primary and central object of the social system, and Liberty but its satellite." -- Madison, December 20, 1792

But what did these "old white guys" know.
