Right-minded people need to understand that the Klintoons were much more involved in practicing law (esp. Hitlery) than Reagan, Bush Sr., or Bush. Jr., and therefore knew full well how powerful loading the federal bench with extremely liberal judges would be in their effort to effectuate radical change (obviously for the worse) in this country. The only thing that could possibly correct 8 years of this type of ridiculous abuse of power would be if Bush Jr. starts acting and pushing very hard now for very conservative judicial appointments. The existing liberals have the benefit of a head start on court of appeals appointments and Bush needs to get his people seated so they obtain the necessary experience to pass muster in public opinion when the next level appointments are made.
Sadly, I doubt that more than just a few people understand just how big of a problem the Klintoons created, and I'm not talking just about ordinary Americans, I also mean to include the so-called experts in the Republican party. The majority of cases would settle, even on the basis of a terrible ruling, than be appealed. It's a matter of simple economics. I trust this matter will be appealed, but under the microscope, the conservatives are getting creamed in the federal court system.
Your comments are exactly right. One has to wonder if there is really any way to offset the damage done by the Clintons to the justice system. The fact that the judicial appointments by Bush are moving so slow without much concern expressed by them or the American public is proof that we may never rescue the judicial system from the left.
