With the confirmation of Associate Justice Samuel Alito, the Bush administration has managed to win both the battle and the war over the future of the Supreme Court.
Under the leadership of new Chief Justice John Roberts, the court almost certainly will take a sharp turn to the right on issues such as women's rights, environmental protection, gun control, separation of church and state, presidential power and the relationship between the federal government and the states. It is no exaggeration to say that 10 years from now Americans may be living in a society with less privacy, less autonomy, less democracy (at least at the federal level) and less respect for science.
It did not have to be that way. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats consistently misplayed, overplayed and underplayed their strengths, until they virtually assured their own defeat.

Let's hope they lose their ass in the 2006 congressional elections, too.
Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.
Now we need at least one more SCOTUS nominee and we can beging to roll back the socialist state being imposed on us by liberal judges and congressmen.
That's what this guy does for a living. Wow, look how important he is. /sarcasm off
[Snicker]. A bit overwrought, aren't they?
Yes, it is. It is extreme exaggeration.
Proving once again that "D" is for Demagog.
The RATS just cannot adjust to not being in control.
Heh.
Once upon a time, the dims mainstream puddle stretched from horizon to horizon. Now it's down to a mere 25% -- and drying up fast.
Life is good!
Wading through the liberal sobs in this story....the author has indeed tripped over one truth..Ifd they had NOT filabustered the circuit court nominees..they could have successfully blocked the SCOTUS nominees...as usual, being Dems, they overreached..
Between that and Howard Dean running the Party into the ground in terms of Fundraising, I think that the Dims stand VERY little chance of winning much if anything in 06!
Happy day!
The article states"

Maybe a better way of saying this is that Americans will be living in a scoiety that has more respect for the constitution, less rulings against the will of the people and congress because it differs from the "supreme" views of a nine appointed individuals and more freedom on state and local levels.
Naw...
"D" is for "Stupid beyond belief"
"Let's hope they lose their ass in the 2006 congressional elections, too."
Don't take the elections for granted. Dem control of the House would be a disaster.
Less gun control and a weaker federal government = less autonomy?
I love all these DemoCRAP fortune tellers...
I've never heard of him, but he certainly thinks he has it all figured out, including just where Roberts and Alito will come down on cases that have yet to be heard by the S.C. After listening to the Judiciary hearings on both these men, I would not want to make a bet on how they would vote on any given case (unlike Lubet.) I am, however, content to think that both men are as qualified or more qualified than the justices they are replacing which I believe is what the constitution means by "advice and consent," not "gotcha" as advocated by Lubet.
What the heck is meant by "less privacy?" And does "privacy" really mean?
Does he mean liberal Mayor 'Dumbass' Daley installing video cameras everywhere in Chicago?
