"From your sarcasm, it appears you have embraced this ruling, and will obediently line up with Mr. Bush." A few things here.
Congress wrote the bill, Congress voted in favor of the bill, Congress, as far as I understand this system of government, represents the people.
Bush signed the bill into law, instructed his legal team to challenge the sections that he considered to be unconstitutional, and the Court ruled against him.
Things you need to learn:
- 1) We need less Democrats in Congress, because
- 2) we need more conservative Justices on the bench, because
- 3) they would not make decisions we do not generally support, therefore
- 4) we need to reelect Bush to the presidency, and seat a solidly Republican Congress, so that he can nominate conservatives to the bench, and they can approve them.
Why Bush and Republicans?
I'll take any conservative who can get elected to Congress,and/or to the White House in 2004...who do you think can get ELECTED in 2004?

Amen, brother!
Oh, by-the-way, the supremes that voted to keep this law:
John Paul Stevens (ultra-liberal)
Sandra Day O'Connor (left-leaning / usually the swing vote)
David Souter (left-leaning "centrist")
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (ultra-liberal)
Stephen Breyer (liberal)
The ones who agreed with me that this is another attack on my 1st Amendment rights:
Rehnquist, Kennedy, Thomas, Scalia - all strict Consitutionalists.

Well, they're certainly doing a bang-up job getting federal judges appointed. It's not the number of Republicans that is the problem; it's that they're all panty-waist sissy-boys. All the cojones in Congress are in the house.

A conservative pubis, what a concept, you forget that the pubis's we elect are our masters, and nothing more.
We are the only slaves who have voted our masters into office.
Eff the PUBIS, "No politician who would put me in jail for criticizing them will ever get my vote. Ever."

I am no longer convinced. Like the person who is repeatedly promised, and repeatedly denied, his promotion or raise -- I no longer believe when people say Republicans are the answer.
We were told all we needed was a Republican Congress. In came Newt's revolution. Yet freedoms kept being diluted.
We were told all we needed was a Republican White House. In came Dubya. Yet freedoms kept being diluted.
We were told all we needed was to give the Senate to the Republicans, and retain our hold on the House. We got that. Now they are overturning fundamental rights outright.
