Billybob's opinion is very well researched, articluated...and, plainly said.

The majority on the court has no real interst, IMHO, in the facts, history, precedent, or constitutionality of their ruling or the case...as has been the case in so many instances since the court was filled with their ilk.

Would that they all would apply the research and sentiments as FR's Billybob has done in this case. Our nation would be much better for it over the last 25-30 years if they had.

Thanks to FR Billybob.

The immediate impact, of course, is that the court said nothing about HOLDING these people, so we'll just hold them until Helen Thomas looks, er, attractive.

The longer-term impact is that we desperately need that fifth justice, and for all his weaknesses in immigration, Bush has been a stalwart in picking judges. Ok, there was Miers, but aside from her, his selections have been stellar.

We can't, as Christians, pray for the untimely demise of those on the Court with whom we disagree, but we can pray that God rewards them amply, according to their deeds :)

My question is: What can we normal people do about this? My husband says all we can do is vote. But what chance do we have of regaining what the Supreme Court designs to take away from us?
