This court has been quite willing to strike down acts of Congress. It's as if Congress can't get any respect," said Ken Starr, the former U.S. solicitor general and special prosecutor, who spoke on the panel at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
After the despicable performance by both sides in the ClinTon Impeachment Fiasco, GO Supremes!!!

...tensions between the executive and the judicial powers will be something to watch. It is about time some "checks and balances" came into play.

No kidding. When Congress passes crap like CFR and the turncoat we have as Prez. signs it it's a good thing we have the SCOTUS to protect the Constitution.

On theory are you sure you want five un-elected and impossible to remove super legislators making all final decisions. Look at history, Roe v Wade, Dred Scott, and the mess they have made and the difficulty in correcting it.

Well, I think that comes from electing incompetents to congress. I'd be willing to bet that less than half of them have ever even read the Constitution, and of that half, only about a third of them understood it.

Yep, there are definitely a couple of hypocrites on this Court.
On the one side you have a few justices who respect the US Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and the intent of the founders, and on the other side you have a few corrupt liberal scumbags.
But there are also a couple of very confused hypocrites who can't seem to make up their minds.
