Ann is right about kennedy and wrong about Roberts.

Conservative Concerns About Judge Roberts

[tumblindice]

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, 'Prohibition', passed in 1919, was "settled law" for 14 years until we came to our senses and repealed it in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
Strange how the progressive notion that the Constitution is a "living, breathing instrument" goes out the window when it's the Dems' ox that's about to be gored.

someone needs to slip Ann a cookie or something...

Thanks for posting. Another great appearance on TV for AC. I love this quote: "Pick someone who is known to be a conservative in important ways, asClarence Thomas was, as we know Scalia was, and then, you know, let them not so much moderate their views, but not — they don't have to be flame throwers during the actualhearing itself, but pick somebody we know something more about. I mean, I think Republicans have — as I write this week's column, lost the ability to say "trust me." It was a Republican who nominated Earl Warren, William Blackman, or William Brennan, Blackman, O'Connor, Souter, I mean, this has been — Stevens, this has been seven times we've gotten a blank slate and we end up with a Justice Souter." She tells it like it is.

That's the wrong argument by Leahy. Roe v. Wade has more in common with Dred Scott v. Sanford or Plessy v. Ferguson.

Were Dred Scott and Plessy "settled law" too? Or was it right for later legislatures and courts to defeat legalized slavery and segregation because it was simply the right thing to do?

Someone needs to tell Leaky Leahy that Plessy v. Ferguson was "settled law" for almost 60 years.

The lower courts are bound by prior decisions of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is not. This is a fairly basic and indisputable concept.

No, that, do I not think, [???] because he is a mystery date, and I mean, there are two points, one is we have the Senate right now. This isn't when — like when we — republican nominated [???] Souter or Clarence Thomas, those were democrat senates,this is a republican senate and we knowing in about this guy [???]. And that's feas a fact [???]. Imean [???], I hope he turns out to be good, but what we're hearing from the Bushadministration [???] are their hopes and dreams.

Who transcribed this? I imagine his or her native country misses him badly.
