I read the posts. You want to argue that we're maintaining the balance.

Please quote where I said that I wanted to maintain the balance. I said that I we shouldn't maintain the balance.

In any event, we are pretty much maintaining the balance even though the democrats are accusing of us moving it far to the right and by comparing Alito to O'Conner they will probably get traction on it.

Going into bunker mode isn't going to help matters.

I didn't say you wanted to maintain the balance. I said you wanted to argue we are maintaining the balance.

It's all over your posts when you talk about winning the argument with the left by pairing O'Connor with Roberts and Rehnquist with Alito.

To hell with their argument. Make your own argument. There are too many judges who use their power on the court to issue social policy, rather than decide constitutionality. We need to proudly proclaim how we want issues left in the hands of the states and the people, not in the hands of nine robed high-priests proclaiming ukases from on high.
