Phrase withdrawn. It's just that I would rather live under O'Connor's misinterpreted US Constitution than under Ginsberg's "International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination." Also to be noted is that the International Convention, as quoted by Ginsberg/Bryer, seems not just to allow the state of Michigan to take "special and concrete" reverse discriminatory measures, but to require it. Thus if we had an almost-all Democratic court, states like Florida which do NOT discriminate would be the ones in the dock. So it is still worthwhile to have GOP judges even if some of them bend to elitist opinion as yesterday.
