Mourning the passing of a great individual
Chief Justice William Rehnquist passed away today at the age of 80. As a supporter of states rights and judicial restraint, he stood for the original intent of the constitution; a bastion of hope in today's climate of judicial activism, "living documents", and the infinite powers of the federal government.
We mourn you, Mr. Rehnquist. We hope that we will not have to mourn the passing of an enlightened period of our country as the dumbest, most inarticulate, and worst president of our short history will now be able to appoint 2 supreme court justices. Hopefully our country will not degrade further towards theocracy; I'd hate to see the gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster being taught in science classes.

You are a very complex individual Ctindel!
You and I, we agree on so many things, and then every once in awhile something pops up that we don't agree on (like our discussion on C&D) . I do happen to agree with you on this post though, absolutely.
I suppose in the end, there is no putting people in a box, even though Rove&Co. try their darndest to.
Holly-
I don't think I ever said that I disagreed with you on C&D. ;-)
Everybody is complex in their own ways. That's what makes the world more interesting than reading a bunch of political statistics!
