In particular, conservatives need to loudly get out in front on the Big Brother civil-liberties issues that are coming to the forefront (commendably, some conservatives already are, but the GOP Establishment has been much too tolerant of Big Brother apologists like the odious (and fortunately on his way out) Mike Rogers). As long as civil liberties is seen primarily as a "liberal" issue, conservatives are behind the eight ball.
I wonder why the authors think conservatives would be in favor of police not needing a warrant to search your phone.
There have been several FR threads on the subject, and I don’t think I’ve seen a single post disagreeing with the decision.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Who thinks that?
More shallow end analysis of the Supreme Court from the Compost. Doug Kendall and Brannie Gorod are utterly clueless when talking about things “conservative” in terms of jurisprudence, and probably in any other context, as well.
oh Jeeeze.....I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. what vapid POSs those WAPO idjits are
Roberts seems to be more interested in “consensus” on the court and unanimous decisions than advancing a conservative ideology. I suppose in some ways that can be good because conservatives have been getting half a loaf in most of these recent decisions, but the flip side is liberals also get half a loaf in the process.
Not less than I think (and some others here). I’ve been railing at the Roberts Court for some time. They are NOT Conservative. Oh they toss us a little bone now and again. But they are the grand architects of an American police state run, and owned, by mega corporations not in any way answerable to the People.
Worst SCOTUS in our history.
What about any of these issues would a conservative support? All of them are implemented by lefties, so how does it make the left against them?
Spinning
The current crop of supremes could hardly be less conservative than I think they are.
Straw men are so much fun to knock down, and it enables you think you’re so intelligent.
Pure BS.
The Compost stoops to new lows, implying the liberals dragged a conservative kicking and screaming to this ruling while most disagreed with it. The Conservatives were unanimous for the ruling. The MSM is pure and utter rubbish. I hate their ever living guts.
That must be pretty bad, because I don’t think Roberts is conservative at all.
Irony.
A newspaper that supports a President who oversees NSA “eavesdropping” on cell phone communications, praising a USSC ruling that preserves cell phone privacy.
What a stupid headline
Who but a commie would call it conservative?
