Tell me again why the Bush Court is legitimate?
The Federalist Society congratulates itself at Union Station, and torture fan Fat Tony has the quote of the day. WaPo teabags them with A03 placement**:
Federalists Relish Well-Placed Friends
Funny, if they were so important, you'd think that Justice Roberts wouldn't have "forgotten" he was a member during his confirmation hearings. But let that pass. Fat Tony's quote:
Scalia said courts and law schools embrace the alternate view of a "living Constitution" and so too does the ordinary citizen, "who has come to believe that what he violently abhors must be unconstitutional."
"It is no easy task to wean the public, the professoriate and (especially) the judiciary away from such a seductive and judge-empowering philosophy," he said.
"Seductive and judge-empowering philosophy"?!
You mean like the kind of philosophy that allows judges to select a President with a "good for one time only" case like Bush v. Gore?
