The Supreme Court is supposed to operate independent of the political parties, including the political allegiance of the appointing President. The congress has to approve court appointees, but this "check" goes by the wayside, politically speaking, when the congress is controlled by the same party as the sitting president. At this point, you almost have to put faith in the appointed judge that he or she will interpret law as best he/she can without thought to conservative vs liberal, or republican vs democrat. At some point, checks and balances run out, and it just comes down to trust.....which is unsettling in the least. > > That's especially disturbing when Mr. Bush was elected by just over > 50% of the country.

Appointees aren't always what the President thinks he's getting. Perhaps that will be the case here too. > > As to blame: I blame Mr. Bush for everything stupid he does which is > quite voluminous.

I've yet to find one person, republican or democrat, who agrees with the Supreme Court's recent property decision. The fact that the Court's majority was made up by the so-called "liberal" judges, really puts the democrat's in a weird position. I mean, politically, you can't support this decision...can you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:164227 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
