There's a book that came out a few months ago I intend to read called Men In Black by a lawyer Mark Levin. Big bestseller. Pretty much goes over all this judicial mess that's been going on. He slams both liberal and conservative judges. Should be interesting. yea its definately both sides.  libertarian judges scare me a hell of a lot more than liberal judges tho.the best ones i think are the Judges who basically have their finger on the political feelings of the nation, the moderate judges who aren't obsessed with pushing their world-view.  sometimes constitutionality gets in the way of common sense (on BOTH sides) Should be interesting to see what this Roberts fellow is all about. Nobody can seem to pin anything on him. But I'm sure Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden will still be foaming at the mouth on something about him knowing them.

yea i can't seem to get a grip on Roberts either.  Bush is keeping his persona quite secret.

Bottom line he's a conservative, question is how conservative.

About the left abusing the judicial system, look at the new crop of Federal Judges MarktheShark.  A bunch of crusty old Conservatives who would like nothing more than to erase the new deal and return America to the gilded age.

Cool site way to brief in his review of each event and sometimes very slanted to his agenda.  For instance he lists several quotes by Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War paragraph from 1862 as to Lincolns approach to preserving the Union.  He then in a matter of fact attitude states that Anti-Slavery became an issue of the war eventually like it was some underground swell of popular opinion.  What he doesn't state is after the battle of Antietam which he refers to in his write up, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that took effect Jan, 1 1863 that outlawed all slavery in states that were in rebellion which in effect turned the war into one of conquest and as each state was occupied the proclamation came into effect and freed the slaves of those states.

 He uses several statements in other write ups that the reader is supposed to believe with out any accompanying facts.

Enjoy yourself Tony. 

I know we agreed not to debate politics anymore, but I just want to go on record as saying that I do not believe that America is always a force for good.  I just don't believe it's the Great Satan either.
