SCOTUS is interesting vis-a-vis the majority opinion. At best they are reflective of past zeitgeists, since so many were appointed by past administrations (when they were the majority) ... but also, I'm not sure that SCOTUS is supposed to reflect the majority opinion. I think they should be divorced from opinion, and focus on the enforcement of the Constitution. Which makes this decision all the more worrying. It isn't that they are enforcing an elite political agenda, but instead, misinterpreting the intentions of the Constitution's framers ... a very scary thing indeed. Thanks so much for your comment, and please, KEEP THEM COMING!

This is the second time in 10 years they have subverted majority opinion to push forward an elite political agenda. <br /><br />CMTJ (www.cmtj.org)Coffee Milk Toast Jamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719806121127589545.post-74087277711285957112010-01-25T22:30:18.000-05:002010-01-25T22:30:18.000-05:00I love scooping the Blogosphere... looks like Croo...I love scooping the Blogosphere... looks like Crooks and Liars either reads our blog, or we scooped them big time! check their story here:<br /><br />http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/manchurian-candidate-does-scotus-stil<br /><br />What do you guys think?Jeff Schneidernoreply@blogger.com
