Well, Are You Fer It Or Agin It?

It's sort of a little thing, but our Supreme Court has once again gotten something wrong. Now that's not my opinion, well actually it is , but it's Justice John Paul Stevens who finds fault with the majority opinion on the, Cross in the Mohave Desert, case. The majority said that the lower court should not find fault with the legislature in it's decisions. Stevens however, points out that the same majority did exactly that when it struck down the legislature's laws on campaign finance. So which is it folks? I clearly remember all the mumbling a decade ago about needing more conservative judges on the Supreme Court who would follow the constitution instead of legislating from the bench. Well they got their conservative court, but they certainly didn't get rid of legislating from the bench. in fact they got more. Something else they got too. Poor judgement. If justice is blind, or at least blindfolded, these guys are peaking. Peaking to see which way the conservative winds are blowing. Now, I'm all in favor of people having healthy differences of opinion, but I'm not in favor of separation of thought and state. I'm in favor of separation of church and state. There is a difference. These new justices are getting it wrong on both counts. What we need is for just one conservative justice to retire. it would be nice to get back to a thoughtful court. Just imagine the furor when it comes time to replace one of the majority. The Senate could well experience a meltdown. If it hasn't already. Ya know, in other countries the legislatures break out in egg fights and even fisticuffs. Well, at least it's entertainment.
