A Big Thank You to George W. Bush

George W. Bush did many memorable things during his time in office. He gave us No Child Left Unharmed (officially mistitled “No Child Left Behind”), a massive, unfunded prescription drug benefit (Medicare Part D), and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the real cost of which will ultimately be in the area of $4 trillion.

As of last Thursday, however, one could make an argument that his most memorable “achievement” was nominating John Roberts to the Supreme Court. What a super pick that turned out to be. Clearly, Bush knows a stealth liberal when he sees one. (I’m not buying the theory that Roberts is a cunning chess player who did conservatives a big favor by imposing limits on Congress’ power to make a mockery of the Commerce Clause.)

If the left succeeds in fundamentally transforming the United States of America into the Union of Soviet American States, Chief Justice Roberts, by virtue of a single unconstitutional decision, can proudly claim that he played a major role in that transformation by bludgeoning the Constitution at a critical juncture in our decline.

No one could reasonably know about Roberts’ treachery, but long-term GWB results always seem expected and unsurprising now. That TSA has got to be one of his worst “ideas.”

-- And Republicans nominated Souter, Kennedy and Roberts.

---Add President Eisenhower's nomination of Earl Warren to that list of those shredding the Constitution.

And let's not forget about President Gerald Ford's nomination of John Paul Stevens, the oldest member of the Court and the third-longest serving justice in the Court's history! :(
