Good quote from Instapundit. Yet the Court shouldn’t talk about following a “national consensus” on an issue on which in 1997 only 31% of the American public agreed with the Court and 65% of the public opposed the Court’s view. The justices should admit that they follow ELITE opinion, not the views and morality of… Continue reading Supreme Court Child Rape Decision

Approval Ratings
Interesting to see a poll reported on the Supreme court. So we now have approval ratings for all three branches: President (via Fox) 28.3% Congress (via Fox) 18.5% Supreme Court: 26% That’s right: Bush has the highest ratings of the three branches of government.

Supreme Court: Well, of course ID is needed to vote
As predicted, the Supreme Court threw out the ridiculous case against the law that requires voters to present photo IDs when voting. Duh. Can’t agree more with this one. “Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. concurred in the judgment of the court, but went further in rejecting the plaintiffs’ challenge. In… Continue reading Supreme Court: Well, of course ID is needed to vote
