“Together, they would take on these urgent challenges with protectionism, higher taxes and an even bigger bureaucracy.
And a Supreme Court that could be lost to liberalism for a generation.”–Fred Thompson 9/2/08
With 2.5 Justices who’ve still not acknowledged the repeal of the Articles of Confederation; 1.5 willing to acknowledge the death of Herbert Hoover, but not his policies; one trying to personify a weather vane which veers to the right, two Eisenhower Republican (one 88 years old) and two Eisenhower Democrats (one with cancer), can we at least acknowledge that what’s at stake here is whether or not we will have a court lost to radical conservatism for a generation?
The dirty little secret of this election is that it represents for Democrats a last chance effort to save the Supreme Court for moderate conservatism, before it is taken in its totality by those who would seek to abolish the Magna Carta.
