Eat dust you sorry liberals!

Dude... even afeter a "huge" double-nomination year, the Court is going from 4-2-3 (Left-Center-Right) to 4-1-4... Souter, Ginsberg, Stevens, and Breyer are all still there, and Kennedy is now the sole "Centrist swing vote"... not exactly a rout for us, or anything.

(Sorry to rain on the parade, but IMHO, they still have the advantage, since Kennedy is rarely on "our" side. I'm also intrigued by the venom the Left unleashes for this very small change in the balance. It's not like it went from 4-2-3 to 2-2-5!)

Or better yet, 0-0-9. Actually, what SCOTUS needs is some Libertarians. I don't want them rubber stamping every expansion of power the government tries to get away with just because there's a "conservative" government in power or because the power desired is one with which most conservatives agree. What we need is someone with a sense of priorities something like:

1. Individuals
2. Employers
3. States
4. Feds
5. Foreigners
6. Drug Warriors
7. Any legislation approved of by MADD.

no doubt it is not over...but a step in the right direction

Things won't really start happening until Bush puts Luttig and Karen Williams on the Court, to replace Stevens and Witchberg. It could happen!
