Scariest article of the week

I hope that And the Verdict on Justice Kennedy Is: Guilty (washingtonpost.com) is really talking about an extreme right-wing minority and not the 50% that voted for Bush. Check out this choice gem:
“The Constitution is not what the Supreme Court says it is,” Schlafly asserted.
Wow. There’s someone that wasn’t paying attention in government class, or at least hasn’t read the Constitution.
This article talks a lot about impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy. I didn’t realize that such a thing was possible, and it’s certainly not desirable. Supremes are “for life” for a reason. While I hate to think of the types of judges that Bush will nominate, I do think that the system of government set down in the Constitution is a good one and worth following.
Exactly. What the US has gotten RIGHT is that policy is left to the momentum of the moment, but the process is not.
That’s why the republican congress is off its rocker for wanting to get rid of the filibuster… that’s a valid part of the process to require cooperation by both parties.
