Well, there goes the country. It's now officially sanctioned that laws only mean what RAT-controlled courts say they mean - in spite of how clearly those laws are written. It was depressing to see this kind of RAT-CONTROL coming out of the Florida Supreme Court two years ago - but at least it was corrected by the USSC ruling.

In my opinion, it was the duty of the USSC to correct the gross injustice of the NJSC and swat them down in the name of the law, if nothing else. Now they, too, have failed. How depressing.

Just a feeling, but I think Lautenberg is going to put his foot in his mouth like Daschle did with his temper tantrum, and will end up losing. Pride comes before a fall.

I think the USSC did exactly right. Contemptible as the NJ decision was, it's none of the Supremes' business.

After the SCOTUS refused to hear the case, and the passage of the patriots act I have decided I can no longer take the pledge of allegience.  "........and to the Republic for which it stands"  IMHO, we now have the beginnings of a neo-fascist state, not a republic.
